Installed With: RT Module

From the network tree of the Network Configuration dialog box, click an RT target under the top-level Time-triggered Network node to display the Target page. If no target is listed, right-click the top-level Time-triggered Network node and select an RT target from the Add Target shortcut menu to display the Target page.

Use the Target page to configure time-triggered network settings for an RT target.

This page includes the following components:

• Master—Specifies whether the RT target is the master node.
• Target ID (6 chars)—Specifies a unique ID for the RT target within the time-triggered network. The default value for Target ID is the first six characters in the name of the RT target. You cannot configure two targets with the same Target ID. The length of the Target ID cannot exceed six characters.
• Adapter Speed—Specifies the speed of the RT target network adapter used for deterministic communication. You can select from the following options:
  • 100 MBit—Specifies a 100 Mbps network.
  • 1 GBit—Specifies a 1,000 Mbps, or gigabit, network.
• SMB Offset (us)—Displays the time when the shared memory block for the selected target node begins to transmit, or reflect, data.
• SMB Transmission Time (us)—Displays a calculation of the total time required to transmit all of the data in the shared memory block for the selected target node.
• Auto Select Ethernet Card—Searches for an Ethernet card with Mode set to Time-Triggered Network and uses the first such device found. If the RT target contains no Ethernet card set to Time-Triggered Network, this feature searches for an Ethernet card with Mode set to Disabled, and uses the first such device found.

  Note  You can use the Advanced Ethernet Settings dialog box in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure additional Ethernet devices for an RT target and to configure the mode of the Ethernet devices. Refer to the Advanced Ethernet Settings topic of the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for more information about the Advanced Ethernet Settings dialog box.
