Communicate With Your ArmorBlock MaXum I/O
Module
This ArmorBlock module’s I/O is exchanged with the master through a poll,
change-of-state, or cyclic connection.
The module consumes and produces I/O data as follows:
Cyclic - allows configuration of the block as an I/O client. The block will
produce and consume its I/O cyclically at the rate configured.
Polled - a master initiates communication by sending its polled I/O message
to the module. The 8 input / 8 output module consumes the message,
updates outputs, and produces a response. The response has input data, input
faults, output faults, and the status of the Auxiliary power.
Change-of-State - productions occur when an input changes or a fault
condition occurs. If no input or fault condition change occurs within the
expected packet rate, a heartbeat production occurs. This heartbeat
production tells the scanner module that the I/O module is alive and ready to
communicate. Consumption occurs when data changes and the master
produces new output data to the I/O block.
Refer to the table below for the word/bit definitions.
