4.4.2 Master Mode
In Master mode, the MVI69E-MBS module issues read or write commands to
slave devices on the Modbus network. These commands are user-configured in
ProSoft Configuration Builder as the Port x Master Command List (page 58). This
list is transferred to the module when the module receives its configuration from
the processor.
The commands can also be issued directly from the CompactLogix processor
(Special Command Blocks).
Command status is returned to the processor for each individual command in the
command list. The location of this command status list in the module’s internal
database is user-defined. The following flow chart and associated table describe
the flow of command data into and out of the module.
