When used with a remote drop, the features of the programmer are similar to the
features used with a Series 90–70 PLC.

Certain programmer features are not used for a remote drop. If you try to select any of
those features while the programmer is communicating with the remote drop (either
by direct connection, or over a multidrop network), this message

and date cannot be reset with release 3 or earlier
versions of Logicmaster 90. The Equal function is
not supported by a remote drop, and new values
cannot be entered.

SNP ID is unique identifier consisting of the drop’s
ID (a number from 016 to 254), following 0–4 al-
phanumeric characters. If online and communi–
