Module Status and Input Data
In this chapter you will read about:
reading data from your module
input module read block format
Block transfer read programming moves status and data from the
input module to the processors data table in one I/O scan
(Table 5.A). The processor user program initiates the request to
transfer data from the input module to the processor.
During normal operation the module transfers up to 12 words to the
processors data table file. The words contain module status and
input data from each channel. When a block transfer length of zero
(0) is programmed, the 1771–IXE/D will respond with the Series A
default value of 12.
