8.4.16 Pass-through Formatted Block for Function 15 (9959)
Block 9959: Pass-Through Formatted Block for Function 15
When the module receives a function code 15 in Pass-Through mode, the module writes
the data using block ID 9959 for multiple-bit data. First the bit mask clears the bits to be
updated. This is accomplished in Studio 5000 by ANDing the inverted mask with the
existing data.
Next, the new data ANDed with the mask is ORed with the existing data. This protects
the other bits in the INT registers from being affected. This function can only be used if
the Block Transfer Size parameter is set to 120 or 240 words.

Where n = 60, 120, or 240 depending on the Block Transfer Size parameter.
The ladder logic is responsible for parsing and copying the received message and
performing the proper control operation as expected by the Master device. The
processor must then respond to the Pass-Through control block with a write block with
the following format.
