2.2 [Backplane Configuration]
This section provides the module with:
 a unique name
 designates database addresses for input and output on the module and on
the processor
 identifies the method of failure for the communications for the module if the
PLC is not in run mode
 describes how to initialize the module upon startup
2.2.1 Module Name
0 to 80 characters
This parameter 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.
2.2.2 Read Register Start
0 to 3999
This parameter specifies the starting register address of a block of data registers
to transfer from the module to the processor.
2.2.3 Write Register Count
0 to 4000
This parameter specifies the number of registers to transfer from the processor to
the module.
2.2.4 Write Register Start
0 to 3999
This parameter specifies the starting register address of a module register block
where data transferred from the processor will be stored.
2.2.5 Write Register Count
0 to 4000
This parameter specifies the number of registers to transfer from the processor to
the module.
2.2.6 Failure Flag Count
0 through 65535
This parameter specifies the number of successive transfer errors that must
occur before halting communication on the application port(s). If the parameter is
set to 0, the application port(s) will continue to operate under all conditions. If the
value is set larger than 0 (1 to 65535), communications will cease if the specified
number of failures occur.
