Use the message instruction (MSG) to transfer configuration data between
the PLC and the CVIM. The message instruction can transfer up to 10,000
elements of data/commands. When used for Pyramid Integrator backplane
instructions, the message instruction commands the resource manager
module to transfer data between two module addresses. Use the RS–232
ASCII command set in the external data table address field to perform the
desired function. To read a configuration of a CVIM with a thumbwheel
setting of #2 into the Resource Manager long integer file #9 starting at
element 0, the message instruction parameters would be entered as follows:

F1 Requested size:

0

F2 Priority:

NORMAL

F3 Local/Remote:
