You have followed our instructions and installed the software ladder, made
changes, but you are not sure if you are communicating properly. This chapter
provides an overview of how the MVI56-MCM module communicates using the
MCM protocol.
6.1 MVI56-MCM
Status
Data Definition as a Master
This section contains a description of the members present in the
MCM.STATUS
object. This data is transferred from the module to the processor as part of each
read block using the module's input image. Sample Ladder Logic will copy this
information from the
Local: x: I.Data
{Offset} tag into the
MCM.STATUS
array.
