  • Page 64: Backplane Data Transfer

    User Manual Modbus Serial Enhanced Communication Module Backplane Data Transfer The MVI69E-MBS module communicates directly over the CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500-LRP backplane. Data is paged between the module and the CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500-LRP processor across the backplane using the module's input and output images. The update frequency of the images is determined by the scheduled scan rate that you define for the module and the communication load on the module.

    Field (2 bytes) The forcing of a coil via Modbus function 5 happens regardless of whether the addressed coil is disabled or not (In ProSoft products, the coil is only affected if you implement the necessary ladder logic). Note: The Modbus protocol does not include standard functions for testing or changing the DISABLE state of discrete inputs or outputs.
