N-File

Description

N40

This N-file lets you use Emulated Block Transfer messages to read
and write many types of SCANport messages. To use Emulated
Block Transfer messages, you send a Write message to N40:0 –
N40:63, wait until the module responds with a reply message, and
then read the response data in N40:0 – N40:63 with a Read
message.

For details about Block Transfer messages and the data required
for each byte in the N-File, refer to the Remote I/O Adapter User
Manual
, Publication 20COMM-UM004….

Bits 15 to 8 are the Most Significant Byte. Bits 7 to 0 are the Least
Significant Byte.

N41

This N-file lets you read and write control I/O messages. You can
write control I/O messages only when all of the following conditions
are true:
• The module is not receiving I/O from a scanner. For example,

there is no scanner on the network, the scanner is in idle
(program) mode, the scanner is faulted, or the module is not
mapped to the scanner.

• The module is not receiving Peer I/O from another module.
• The module is configured to receive I/O (for example, the [DPI

I/O Cfg] parameter).

• The value of N42:3 is set to a non-zero value.
