Rockwell Automation 1336-GM1 Remote I/O Communications Module - Manual (Page 57)

Using Block Transfer Messages 5–5
Example SLC Block Transfers Figure 5.5 and the following data file illustrate an example block
transfer program from an SLC controller to a Remote I/O
communications module. This program uses the first block transfer
area in the scanner located in the first slot. It also uses data files N10
and B3.
The example data file contains the data needed to request a read full
of parameter 78. The length of the block transfer data file is loaded
into N10:1. The value 0 is loaded into N10:2 for the rack, group, slot
address for the block transfer because this address is 0, 0, 0 (refer to
page 5–7). Data for the BTW is loaded into N10:10. Once the data
has been loaded, the user enabled bit B3:0/0 is set. When the block
transfers have completed, the BTR data is copied into N10 starting at
N10:100 and B3:0/0 is cleared by the program.

This rung clears the Virtual BT Command word on the first scan.
This ensures that the Block Transfer logic starts up reliably.

This rung copies the BT Status buffer from the 1747-SN into the SLC into a
file that we will refer to as the Virtual BT Status Buffer.

If the user logic is calling for a Block Transfer message to occur and the Gx1 is ready to receive a BTW,
this rung sets up the BT buffer for a BTW and then enables it.
