IPAddress - The TCP/IP address of the PLC to communicate with
CIPConnectionSize - The maximum number of bytes in a single packet. The larger the number, the more efficient the communications. A value of 508 works with all Allen Bradley PLCs tested. Some of the newer models will allow a higher value.<br.
DisableMultiServiceRequest - A multi-service request allows more than one request per packet. This can dramatically increase the speed of retrirving values. Not all PLCs support this, such as the Micro800 series.
