5.2.5 Configuration Data Transfer

When the module performs a restart operation, it will request configuration
information from the ControlLogix processor. This data is transferred to the
module in specially formatted write blocks (output image). The module will poll for
each block by setting the required write block number in a read block (input
image). Refer to the Module Set Up section for a description of the data objects
used with the blocks and the ladder logic required. The format of the blocks for
configuration is given in the following topics.
Module Configuration Data
This block sends general configuration information from the processor to the
module. The data is transferred in a block with an identification code of 9000.
The structure of the block is displayed in the following table:
Offset
0
1 to 6
7 to 20
21 to 34
35 to 247
The read block used to request the configuration has the following structure:
Offset
0
1
2
3
4
5 to 248
249
If there are any errors in the configuration, the bit associated with the error will be
set in one of the three configuration error words. The error must be corrected
before the module starts operating.
