Module Operation

DL430 Special
Requirements
Even though the module can be placed in any slot, it is important to examine the
configuration if you are using a DL430 CPU. As you will see in the section on writing
the program, you use V-memory locations to send the analog data. As shown in the
following diagram, if you place the module so the output points do not start on a
V-memory boundary, the instructions cannot access the data.
Correct!
Wrong!
Data is split over two locations, so instructions cannot access data from a DL430.
