Communicating with a PLC-5 Adapter Channel 7-17
Do not program a block-transfer to group 0, module 1 since this area of the
discrete transfer configuration file is used for communication status exchanges
between the supervisory controller and the adapter-mode controller channel.
For example:
Monitoring the Status of the Adapter Channel
The supervisory controller receives status bits from the adapter-mode
controller in word 0 of the input image table for the rack that the
adapter-mode controller is emulating.
