Using the 1775ĆMX

Memory Communication Module

Transfer $ <file list> Command

The TRANSFER $<file list> command lets you transfer selected files from
the primary processor to the backup processor one time. You can select
from 1 to 16 files for use with this function.

The TRANSFER $<file list> command and START $<file list> command
are quite similar. The primary difference between them being that the
TRANSFER $<file list> command causes the transfer to occur only one
time whereas the START $<file list> command causes the transfer to occur
continuously. The syntax of both commands is identical. See Figure 4.4.

CAUTION: To guard against damage to equipment, make sure
there is sufficient memory available in the backup processor to
accommodate

the files when the memory communication module

(1775-MX) executes a file transfer. If not enough memory is
available, the backup processor will shut down.

Important: If you selected continuous file transfer previously, you must
stop it before you can use the TRANSFER $<file list> command. Use the
STOP command to terminate a continuous file transfer.

Bit B1:0/00 is an internal storage bit used to control execution of the

transfer command. You can use any unused data table bit for this purpose. Bit

S0:3/17 is the run/backup bit.
