1–6 Interfacing with the Temperature Control Module
Publication 17716.4.5 - January 1997
The configuration software uses word 0 to control the
communications between the PLC processor and the module. Bits 0
through 11 of word 0 of the data-table interface area are
communication control bits. Based on your input to the Temperature
Control software, bits 0 through 11 will be used to initiate a
corresponding block-transfer. Your ladder logic program must
respond to this input by generating the required block-transfer. Bits
14 and 15 are used internal to the example program.
