Module Configuration Data
This block sends general configuration information from the processor to the
module. The data is transferred in a block with an identification code of 9000.
The structure of the block is displayed in the following table:

If there are any errors in the configuration, the bit associated with the error will be
set in one of the three configuration error words. The error must be corrected
before the module starts operating.
8.2.8 Master Command Data List
Each port on the module can be configured as a Modbus master device
containing its own list of one hundred commands. The commands are read from
the processor using the following Write Block IDs: Modbus Port 1: 6000 to 6003.
and Modbus Port 2: 6100 to 6103. The module will sequentially poll for each
block from the processor. Ladder logic must handle each and every one of the
data transfers. The structure of each block is shown in the following table.
