3.2 Module Configuration Parameters
3.2.1 Module
This section contains general module configuration parameters, including
database allocation and backplane transfer options.
In PCB’s tree view, double-click the M
ODULE icon.
Parameter Value Description
Module Name ASCII
characters
(max. 80) Assigns a name to the module that can be viewed using
the configuration/debug port. Use this parameter to
identify the module and the configuration file.
Read Register Start 0 to 9999 Specifies the start of the Read Data area in the module’s
database. Data in this area is transferred from the module
to the processor.
Read Register Count 0 to 10,000 Specifies the size of the Read Data area.
Write Register Start 0 to 9999 Specifies the start of the Write Data area in module
memory. Data in this area is transferred in from the
processor.
Write Register Count 0 to 10,000 Specifies the size of the Write Data area.
Backplane Fail Count 0 to 65535 Specifies the number of consecutive backplane transfer
failures that can occur before communications are halted.
Error/Status Block
Pointer -1 to 9939 Starting register location in the module’s database for the
error/status table. If a value of -1 is entered, the
error/status data is not placed in the database. All other
valid values determine the starting location of the data.
This data must be placed in the read data range of
module memory.
This data area includes the module version information
and all server error/status data. Refer to MBS.STATUS on
page 92 for more information.
Initialize Input Image Yes or No
This parameter determines if the input image data and the
module’s Read Register Data values is initialized with
Read Register Data values from the processor. If the
value is set to No, the Read Register Data values in the
module is set to 0 upon initialization. If the value is set to
