Note: When reading the configuration blocks, the PLC should set the block
length to 0. This will allow the CVIM module to set the block size based
upon the block number received. The CVIM module will then only send the
amount of data required for each block type. This helps reduce the overall
transfer time when writing. If the PLC sets the block length to 0 (64 words)
when writing to a CVIM module, the CVIM module will ignore excess data
at the end of each block. Alternatively, the PLC may set the exact length to
reduce the transfer time.
