Data Exchange Control

I/O data map, Data exchange control enabled


By default Data exchange control is disabled.

When Data exchange control is enabled, the first four bytes of process data on the EtherNet/IP network contain the data exchange control.

The Data exchange control holds 32 bits.

Each bit in the Data exchange control can be used to enable/disable data exchange for individual nodes on the subnetwork.

If control bit does not correspond to a configured node, the control bit is ignored. For example, this occurs when the number of configured nodes is less than 32.

The node order in the Data exchange control 32 bit array always matches the Live List.

When the data exchange is enabled for the corresponding node, the control bit is 1.
