    Functional Overview Functional Overview This section provides a functional overview of the MVI69-DFCM module. A thorough understanding of the information contained in this document is required for successful implementation of the module in a user application. If you are not familiar with the data transfer and DF1 protocol operations, read this document before setting up the module.

  • Page 10: Backplane Data Transfer

    Functional Overview 2.1.3 Backplane Data Transfer The MVI69-DFCM module is unique in the way that the CompactLogix backplane is utilized. Data is paged between the module and the CompactLogix 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 defined by the user for the module and the communication load on the module.

  • Page 11: Normal Data Transfer

    Data contained in this database is paged through the input and output images by coordination of the CompactLogix ladder logic and the MVI69-DFCM module's program. Up to 242 words of data can be transferred from the module to the processor at once.
