Block Transfer Data Files for Example Program—Series C Controller

with Firmware Revision 3.xx and Higher

In a series C, firmware revision 3.xx and higher SLC processor, Block
Transfer Read (BTR) and Block Transfer Write (BTW) instructions can be
used. When the length of the Block Transfer is 20 words or higher, the
20-COMM-R adapter knows the Block Transfer is for explicit messages and
not for I/O Block Transfer (Chapter 4). Block Transfer setup is the same for
a 1/4 rack or 1/2 rack configuration. This example is for Rack 1, Group 4
(the upper half rack).
