Programming the RediPANEL Modules

When using a PLC-2 processor with RediPANEL module, the system must
contain a 1771-SN Sub I/O Scanner. Mini PLC-2 processors communicate
with remote I/O using this Sub I/O Scanner. The Sub I/O Scanner is located
in the same chassis as the mini PLC-2 and communicates with the PLC using
block transfers. The 1771-SN Sub I/O Scanner looks like an intelligent I/O
module to the PLC. You can also use Sub I/O Scanner in any chassis of a
PLC-2/20 or 2/30 system.

The 1771-SN requires one PLC scan to receive the output data from the
output image table and another PLC scan to send discrete input data to the
input image table. Anything connected to the Sub I/O Scanner is scanned
asynchronous to the PLC scan. The PLC then scans the Sub I/O Scanner
during the I/O portion of the PLC scan. See the section on Operating Cycles.

Block Transfer Example

Figure 4.2 shows an example of a block transfer between a Sub I/O Scanner
module and a PLC.
