Example 2
This example application requires the MVI69-FLN module to communicate with
two nodes configured as follows:
Node 1
Area 1 Top : 0
Area 1 Size: 150
Area 2 Top : 0
Area 2 Size: 150
Node 2
Area 1 Top : 240
Area 1 Size: 150
Area 2 Top : 240
Area 2 Size: 150
The MVI69-FLN must transfer the following data to the processor:
Entire node 1 data
Last 50 words of node 2 data
Without Data Mapping
In order to disable the data mapping, set the Use BP Map Table parameter as N:
Use BP Map Table : N #Use BP mapping (Y=Use maps, N=Don't use maps
(default))
Because the goal is to transfer the entire Node 1 data and the last 50 words for
Node 2 data, the backplane transfer to the processor should be set as follows:
BP Area 1 Top : 0 #0...511 top address for area 1
BP Area 1 Size : 390 #0...512 area 1 data size in words
BP Area 2 Top : 0 #0...8191 top address for area 2
BP Area 2 Size : 390 #0...8192 area 2 data size in words
Therefore, two blocks per each area will be required to transfer the data as
follows:
Read Block ID
Area
Start Area Offset
Last Area Offset

2 1
