BlockĆTransfer Write
You can generate all block-transfer writes to your 1771-TCM module thru
a single block-transfer write instruction. Enter the block length as 64
words. Write your ladder logic so that when you want to send a particular
block of data to the 1771-TCM module, you first send it to the 64-word
block addressed by the BTW instruction and then use the BTW instruction
to send it to the module.

BlockĆtransfer Write
Step 1 Ċ
You first send a particular
block of data it to the 64Ćword
block addressed by the BTW
instruction.
Step 2 Ċ
You then use the
BTW instruction to
send the block of
data to the module.
At the beginning of each block is a block identification code that you use
to tell the module which block it is. The module automatically uses only
the number of words appropriate for that particular type of block.
