2.2.4 Module
This section of the configuration describes the database setup and module-level
parameters.
Backplane Error/Status Pointer
1 to 9955
This parameter sets the address in the internal database where the backplane
error/status data will be placed. If you want the error/status data to be moved to
the processor and placed into the ReadData array, the value entered should be a
module memory address in the Read Data area. If the value is set to -1, the
error/status data will not be stored in the module's internal database and will not
be transferred to the processor's ReadData array.
Enabling the Error/Status Pointer is optional. The error/status data is routinely
returned as part of the input image, which is continually being transferred from
the module to the processor. For more information, see Normal Data Transfer
Blocks (page 114).
Read Register Start
0 to 9999
The Read Register Start parameter specifies the start of the Read Data area in
module memory. Data in this area will be transferred from the module to the
processor.
Note: Total user database memory space is limited to the first 10,000 registers of
module memory, addresses 0 through 9999. Therefore, the practical limit for this
parameter is 9999 minus the value entered for Read Register Count, so that the
Read Data Area does not try to extend above address 9999. Read Data and
Write Data Areas must be configured to occupy separate address ranges in
module memory and should not be allowed to overlap.
Note: To use the extended database registers, your MVI56E-MNETC module needs to have
firmware version 3.01 or higher, and your MVI56E-MNETC Add-On Instruction needs to be version
1.8 or higher. Earlier versions support up to 5000 database registers.
