Unscheduled DataTransfer Operations
Operation Description Features

I/O Data
Transfer
CIO
Instructions
Perform ladderinitiated unscheduled nondiscrete I/O data transfers on a
ControlNet network by using ControlNet I/O Transfer (CIO) instructions.
The data type for these transfers (CT) has the following information:
• Command:
1771 READ reads data from a 1771 nondiscrete I/O module
1771 WRITE writes data to a 1771 nondiscrete I/O module
1794 FAULT
ACTION changes the action a module takes when it faults
1794 IDLE
ACTION changes the action a module takes when it is idle
1794 CONFIG
DATA changes a module's configuration data
1794
SAFE STATE DATA changes a module's safestate data
• Datatable address in source processor
• Size of message in words
• Network address of destination node
• Slot of destination module
• Port numberset to 2 for the ControlNet network
• Flags:
.TO forces a transfer to time out
.EW indicates that the transfer is waiting for an open connection
.CO transfer is made continuously in Run mode
.ER indicates that the transfer was terminated due to an error
.DN indicates that the transfer was made without error
.ST indicates that the transfer was started
.EN indicates that the transfer instruction is enabled
• Error codeindicates the error when the .ER bit is set
• Done lengthindicates the number of words transferred
• As many as 32 1771 READ and/or 1771 WRITE
CIOs can be active at a time
①
• A minor fault is set when 32 1771 READ and/or
1771 WRITE CIOs are active at a time
• You cannot use CIO instructions to read or write
blocks of data from or to 1794 Flex I/O modules;
but you can use these instructions to configure
1794 features listed in the Description" column
• As many as 8 1794 Flex I/O CIOs can be active
at a time
①
• A minor fault is set when 8 1794 Flex I/O CIOs
are active at a time
• Any transfer initiated from a Processor Input
Interrupt (PII) or Selectable Timed Interrupt (STI)
program suspends execution of the program
scan until the transfer is completed
• Important: This can extend your program scan
by ten's of ms.
• No transfer is initiated when the processor is in
Program mode
• Transfers that have been running with the .CO
bit set automatically restart on the Program
toRun transition when the Continue Last step
bit is set and the data table has not changed
• A transfer has a maximum size of 64 words
• Only the processor owner" of an adapter can
send or receive transfers to or from any of that
adapter's modules
See pages 44 and C1 for more information.

Messaging
MSG
Instructions
You can use ControlNet message (MSG) instructions and the datatype MG to
create unscheduled messages that are initiated by one ControlNet PLC5
processor and sent to another ControlNet PLC5 processor. The MG data type
for the ControlNet instruction has the following information:
• CommandPLC5 TYPED READ or PLC5 TYPED WRITE
• Datatable address in source processor
• Size of message in elements
• Network address of destination processor
• Datatable address in destination processor
• Port numberset to 2 for the ControlNet network
• Flags:
.TO forces a message to time out
.EW indicates that the message is waiting for an open connection
.CO message is sent continuously in Run mode
.ER indicates that the message was terminated due to an error
.DN indicates that the message was sent without error
.ST indicates that the message was started
.EN indicates that the message instruction is enabled
• Error codeindicates the error when the .ER bit is set
• As many as 32 ControlNet MSGs can be active
at a time
①
• A minor fault is set when 32 ControlNet MSGs
are active at a time
• All messages have the same priority
• No message is initiated when the processor is in
Program mode
• Messages that have been running with the .CO
bit set automatically restart on the Program
toRun transition when the Continue Last step
bit is set and the data table has not changed
• Each message has a maximum size of 1000
elements
