1.8.5 Adjusting the Input and Output Array Sizes

The module internal database is divided into two user-configurable areas:

Read Data

Write Data
The Read Data area is moved from the module to the processor, while the Write
Data area is moved from the processor to the module. You can configure the
start register and size of each area. The size of each area you configure must
match the Add-On instruction controller tag array sizes for the R
W D arrays.
RITE ATA
The MVI56E-MCMR sample program is configured for 600 registers of
R D and 600 registers of W
EAD ATA
applications. This topic describes how to configure user data for applications
requiring more than 600 registers of ReadData and WriteData.
Important: Because the module pages data in blocks of 40 registers at a time, you must configure
your user data in multiples of 40 registers.
Caution: When you change the array size, RSLogix may reset the MCMR tag values to zero. To
avoid data loss, be sure to save your settings before continuing.
