5.2.4 Data Flow Between the MVI56-BSAPS Module and the
ControlLogix Processor
The following section describes the flow of data between the two pieces of
hardware (ControlLogix processor and MVI56-BSAPS module). Each port on the
module is configured to emulate a BSAP RTU slave device. The operation of
each port is dependent on this configuration.
Slave Driver
The Slave Driver Mode allows the MVI56-BSAPS module to respond to data read
and write commands issued by a master on the BSAP network. The following
flowchart describes the flow of data into and out of the module. The Module
Setup section provides a list of the parameters that must be defined for a slave
port.
All write requests will be placed in the database. The following illustration shows
the data flow for a slave port.
