Switchover is the transfer of I/O control from the primary processor to the
secondary processor.
Bumpless switchover is the transfer of I/O control from the primary
processor to the secondary processor where the operation of the process
being controlled is not affected.
Asynchronous processing is processing where the ladder program scan and
the block-transfer scan operate independently of each other within the same
scan time.
BTW is block-transfer write; transfer of up to 64 words from the processor to
the block-transfer module.
BTR is block transfer read; transfer of up to 64 words from the block transfer
module to the processor.
Smart Switch Interface is a remote I/O interface in the 1785-BCM module
that responds to secondary scanner poll commands with actual input values
from the remote I/O link, making the scanner think it is talking with
remote I/O.
