Problem:

Possible Solution:

Discrete I/O is updating,

but block transfers are not

Make sure you are addressing the proper module by using this

formula: Module address = rack * 16 + slot #

Check the your program to make sure that the code for block

transfer to that module exactly follows the examples in chapter 8.

Make sure that block transfer length is specified in the block transfer

(QBT) data packet.

Use the U_D1 program to try block transfers. If they execute

properly, the fault is most likely your program.

Block transfers are

working erratically

Declare the QBT data packet as static". Use a different data packet

for each block transfer.

Adapter READY" lights

blink briefly, then go out

Make sure your program is using the host_active macro as

described in chapter 5, "Host Watchdog".
