2.1.5 Module
This section of the configuration describes the database setup and module-level
parameters.
Adjust the Input and Output Array Sizes (Optional)
Tip: If you have not installed ProSoft Configuration Builder, see Installing ProSoft Configuration
Builder (page 29).
The module internal database is divided into two user-configurable areas:
Read Data
Write Data.
The Read Data area is moved from the module to the processor, while the Write
Data area is moved from the processor to the module. You can configure the
start register and size of each area. The size of each area you configure must
match the Add-On instruction controller tag array sizes for the READDATA and
WRITEDATA arrays.
The MVI56E-MNETC/MNETCXT sample program is configured for 600 registers
of READDATA and 600 registers of WRITEDATA, which is sufficient for most
application. This topic describes how to configure user data for applications
requiring more than 600 registers of ReadData and WriteData. In this example,
we will expand both the Read and Write Data sizes to 1000.
Important: Because the module pages data in blocks of 200 registers at a time, you must
configure your user data in multiples of 200 registers.
Caution: When you change the array size, RSLogix may reset the MNETC tag values to zero. To
avoid data loss, be sure to save your settings before continuing.
