Writing Configuration to and Reading Status from Your Module with a Remote I/O Adapter
Publication 1794-6.5.16 – September 1998
During normal operation, the processor transfers from 1 to 4 words
to the module when you program a BTW instruction to the module’s
address.
Read programming moves status and data from the Pulse Counter
module to the processor’s data table in one I/O scan. The processor’s
user program initiates the request to transfer data from the Pulse
Counter module to the processor.
The following read and write words and bit/word descriptions
describe the information written to and read from the Pulse Counter
module. The module uses up to 11 words of input data and up to 3
words of output data. Each word is composed of 16 bits.
