Program Your Module with PLC Family Processors
PLC-5/250 Family Processor
Block transfer instructions with the PLC-5/250 processor use a control file
and a data file. The block transfer control file contains the data table section
for module location, the address of the block transfer data file and other
related data. The block transfer data file stores data that you want transferred
to the module (when programming a BTW) or from the module (when
programming a BTR).
The programming terminal automatically selects the control file based on rack,
group and module, and whether it is a read or write. A different block transfer
control file is used for the read and write instructions for your module. A
different block transfer control file is required for every module.

The IRT8 module is located in rack 2, I/O group 2, slot 1. The integer control file
starts at N22:200, is 5 words long and is compatible with all PLC-5 family members.
The data obtained by the PLC-5 processor from the IRT8 module is placed in memory
starting at N22:101, and with the default length of 0, is 11 words long. The length can
be any number

The IRT8 module is located in rack 2, group 2, slot 1. The integer control file starts
at N22:205, is a 5 words long and is compatible will all PLC-5 family members. The data
sent by the PLC-5 processor to the IRT8 module starts at N22:1, and with the default
length of 0, is 4 words long. Valid BTW lengths: 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. In enhanced PLC-5
