Module Data .......................................................................................... 29

Ladder logic is required for application of the MVI71-DNPSNET module. Tasks
that must be handled by the ladder logic are module data transfer, special block
handling and status data receipt. Additionally, a power-up handler may be
needed to handle the initialization of the module's data and to clear any
processor fault conditions.
The sample ladder logic, on the ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM, is extensively
commented, to provide information on the purpose and function of each rung. For
most applications, the sample ladder will work without modification.
3.1 Module Data
All data related to the MVI71-DNPSNET module is stored in a user defined data
file. It is the responsibility of the ladder logic programmer to construct all the data
files required by the program and to write the ladder logic required to interface to
these files.
3.1.1 Status Data
When the side-connect interface is employed in the application, the status data is
automatically transferred from the module to the first file used by the interface.
The data is placed at an offset of 0 in the file and has the following format:
Word Variable Name
0 Scan Counter
1 to 2 Product Name (ASCII)
3 to 4 Revision (ASCII)
5 to 6 Operating System
Revision (ASCII)
7 to 8 Production Run Number
(ASCII)
9 Read Block Count
10 Write Block Count
11 Parse Block Count

loop is executed.
These two words contain the product name of the module in
ASCII format.
These two words contain the product revision level of the
firmware in ASCII format.
These two words contain the module's internal operating
system revision level in ASCII format.
