13-64 SLC Communication Channels
Message-based communication should also be used in redundant SLC master
station systems implemented with the 1746-BSN backup communication
module.
With message-based mode, you do not have an active node file that you can
use to monitor station status. Also, you cannot implement slave
station-to-slave station messaging.
To configure the processor for a master station using message-based polling
mode, place the processor in program mode and do the following using your
programming software.
To bring up the Channel Configuration
interface, double-click on the Channel
Configuration icon.
Define the location of the diagnostic file
used for Channel Status here. For
Channel Status details, see page 13-68.
