Device Connection Settings

The General settings are common to all Allen Bradley devices, and the Connectivity settings are device dependent.

General
Name	The user-defined name for this Device. The name chosen will show up in OPC Item Paths and under OPC-UA Server > Devices of the Status page of the Gateway. The Device Name must be alphanumeric.
Description	The user-defined description for the device. This is only used as a note to differentiate between devices.
Enable Device	Only devices that are enabled appear in OPC-UA Server > Devices of the Status page of the Gateway and thus have their tags available for use.

Connectivity
Hostname	This is the IP Address of the ControlLogix Ethernet module (1756-ENET) to route through to connect a ControlLogix processor. EthernetIP protocol on TCP port 44818 (0xAF12) is used to communicate to ControlLogix processors.
Timeout	After sending a request to the ControlLogix processor, the Communication Timeout setting is the amount of time in msec to wait for a response before treating it as a failure.
Max Concurrent Requests	The number of requests that Ignition will try to send to the device at the same time. Increasing this number can sometimes help with your request throughput, however increasing this too much can overwhelm the device and hurt your communications with the device.
Slot Number	The Slot Number value is the zero based ControlLogix chassis slot number of the ControlLogix processor to connect to.

Advanced
Automatic Rebrowse	Monitor for tag additions and UDT changes and automatically initiate a re-browse when detected. If this is disabled tags will only be browsed when connecting and reconnecting. (default: true)
CIP Connection Size	The CIP connection size to use during Forward Open requests. (default: 500)
