Discrete Transfers
In this chapter you will read about:
discrete data transfer
input data format
output data format
When used with SLC controllers, analog block data is transferred as
discrete data using the 1747-SN remote I/O scanner module. The analog
block uses 1/2 rack of memory in the I/O data table. The transferred words
in the input image data table contain only input data from the module.
Discrete transfer programming moves data from the module to the
processor’s data table in one I/O scan. The processor I/O scan initiates the
request to transfer data from the module to the processor.
The input image table data format consists of four words. All four words
are input data for the four input channels as shown in Table 5.A.
