| An octet string representing the parameter Route_Path (of padded EPATH type, that is, the number of octets in each segment must be even). If this parameter is specified, the protocol messages (Get_Attribute_Single, Set_Attribute_Single, Read Tag [Fragmented] Service, Write Tag [Fragmented] Service) will be wrapped in an Unconnected Send message that is used for routing. It was not necessary to change this parameter when communicating with Micro820 and CompactLogix devices. When communicating with ControlLogix via the ControlLogix EtherNet/IP bridge Module (1756-EN2TR/C), it was necessary to set the parameter to 01 00, which according to protocol documentation means Port 1 (which represents the backplane) and slot 0 (where the Central Processor was located). To communicate with the processor in slot 1, the parameter had to be set to 01 01, so the general syntax for accessing a slot XX would be 01 XX. A more complicated configuration consisting of 3 segments:
so the whole Route Path string is: 01 00 12 0C 31 37 32 2E 32 35 2E 35 38 2E 31 31 01 01 (in the syntax of Rockwell OPC server it is "1,[0,2,172.25.58.11, 1], 1") | octet string | |||||||
| Setting the parameter to YES causes the protocol messages (Get_Attribute_Single, Set_Attribute_Single, Read Tag [Fragmented] Service, Write Tag [Fragmented] Service) to be packaged in a Multiple Service Packet Service message. In the future, this parameter can be used for communication optimisation (wrapping multiple messages into one), in the current implementation, each message is packaged separately, therefore we recomment not to use this parameter. | YES/NO | NO |
