Communicate with Your ArmorBlock Module
This ArmorBlock module acts as a slave in a master/slave environment.
It is both a “polled device” and a “change of state device.”
When configured as a polled device, a master initiates communication
by sending its polled I/O message to the ArmorBlock module. The 4
output module consumes the message, updates outputs, and returns the
status of the output bits.
When configured as a “change of state” device, productions occur
when an output fault occurs. If none has occurred within the “expected
packet rate,” a heartbeat production occurs. This heartbeat production
tells the scanner module that the ArmorBlock module is alive and ready
to communicate.

Where: O = Output
OF = Output fault
Word Bit Description
Produces 00–03 Output fault bits – when the bit is set (1), the output is faulted. Bit
00 corresponds to output 0, bit 01 corresponds to output 1, etc.
04–07 Reserved
Consumes 00–03 Output bits – bit 00 corresponds to output 0, bit 01 corresponds to
output 1, etc.
0 = output is off; 1 = output on
04–07 Reserved
