Chapter 4
Analog Block Applications Using
Block Transfers
4-3
You must configure your block module by performing a block transfer
write (BTW) instruction from the programmable controller to the module.
Each input can be independently configured in one BTW.
Maximum length of the BTW is 27 words (0 thru 26). When configuring
the module, first send the complete BTW. You can shorten the BTW to 3
words for subsequent write operations if parameters for each channel
remain the same.
Block transfer write data is shown in Figure 4.2.
