Program Action
At power-up in RUN mode, or when the processor is switched from PROG to
RUN, the user program enables a block transfer read. Then it initiates a block
transfer write to configure the module and send data values.
Thereafter, the program continuously performs read block transfers and write
block transfers.
PLC-5 Programming
The PLC-5 program is very similar to the PLC-3 program with the following
exceptions:
• block transfer enable bits are used instead of done bits as the conditions on
each rung.
• separate block transfer control files are used for the block transfer
instructions.

Program Action
At power-up in RUN mode, or when the processor is switched from PROG to
RUN, the user program enables a block transfer read. Then it initiates a block
transfer write to configure the module if the power-up bit is set.
TIP
You must create the data file for the block transfers before you enter
the block transfer instructions
