3.2 Module Configuration Parameters
3.2.1 Module
This section contains general module configuration parameters. The module
uses 240 words of read data (user input data) and 240 words of write data (user
output data).
Parameter Value Description
Module Name ASCII
characters
(max. 80) Assigns a name to the module that can be viewed using
the configuration/debug port. Use this parameter to
identify the module and the configuration file.
Backplane Fail Count 0 to 65535 Specifies the number of consecutive backplane transfer
failures that can occur before communications should be
halted.
Error/Status Block
Pointer -1 to 239 Starting register location in the module’s database for the
error/status table. If a value of -1 is entered, the
error/status data is not placed in the database. All other
valid values determine the starting location of the data.
This data should be placed within the read data range of
module memory.
This data area includes the module version information
and all server error/status data. Refer to MBS.STATUS on
page 87 for more information.
Initialize Input Image Yes or No
This parameter is used to determine if the input image
data, the module’s Read Register Data values, should be
initialized with Read Register Data values from the
processor. If the value is set to No, the Read Register
Data values in the module is set to 0 upon initialization. If
the value is set to Yes, the data is initialized with Read
Register Data values from the processor. Using this option
requires associated ladder logic to pass the data from the
processor to the module.
Slot Number 1 to x Represents the slot in the CompactLogix rack where the
module resides.
