PLC Block Pack
This feature allows the OIT programmer to enhance the update rate of data received from the PLC when the PLC
registers displayed on a screen are 'blocked' close together. The default setting is 0. This means that the OIT sends
a command to the PLC requesting data for each register that is displayed on screen. For instance, if you have five
data fields configured on the OIT to monitor %R1, %R2, %R3, %R4, and %R5 of a GE PLC, then the OIT sends
five separate commands to the PLC to update these fields.
This is the slowest method of updating the registers, but it does have the advantage that the update rate does not
depend on having the PLC registers all together, (R1-R5). In other words, if monitoring %R1, %R10, %R65,
%R156, and %R2048, the update rate would be exactly the same as monitoring %R1-%R5.
The "PLC block pack" feature allows you to take advantage of any groups or 'blocks' of registers that allow the
OIT to send a smaller number of update commands to the PLC to get the information needed. The OIT will request
data for up to 32 contiguous PLC registers depending upon the PLC block pack setting and the addresses of the PLC
1010-1007W, Rev 06
