A block transfer instruction is programmed
in the ladder diagram by depressing the
[BLOCK XFER] key followed by [1] (for a
READ) or [0] (for a WRITE). The appropriate
read or write block, as shown, will
appear on the industrial terminal screen.
Numbers shown are default values.
Numbers in shaded areas must be
replaced by user-entered values. The
number of default address digits initially
displayed, 3, 4, or 5 will depend on the
size of the data table. Initially displayed
default values are governed by the I/O
rack configuration.
Data Address
: First possible address in accumulated value area of data table.
Module Address
: Rack, module group, and slot number.
Block Length
: Number of words to be transferred. (00 can be entered for default value or for 64 words).

Data and Module Addresses
The data address is the block transfer instruction address. It is used to
store the I/O rack address of the ASCII module (module address). The
module address is stored in BCD by rack, module group, and slot number
and identifies the module’s location in the I/O rack. You enter the data
address in the instruction after you enter the instruction.
The data address of a block transfer instruction should be the first
available address in the timer/counter accumulated area of the data table.
This address is 030 for the Mini-PLC-2/15 controller. For the PLC-2/30
controller, this address depends on the number of I/O racks connected to
the processor module, i.e. address 020 for one I/O rack, 030 for two racks,
etc. to 070 for six racks and 200 for seven racks. When more than one
block transfer module is used, the data addresses should be consecutive.
