I have a question regarding MSG blocks and transferring information over ControlNet between Processors on a ControlNet Network.
First off this is what I have:
3 Controllers on a ControlNet network that I need to pass information between.
What is the easiest way to do this? With a MSG command?
I have the following parameters for Writing from one PLC to another.
MSG Block
Configuration:
Message Type: Block Transfer Write
Source Element : K101B_Write[10] (10 words)
Number of elements: 10
Communication:
Path: I chose the CNB itself
Module Address: ControlNet and the slot the CNB resides in
My question is where is the destination? I can see the source but where do I tell it where to go? Or is this done by the read in the other Processor? But in the Read all I have is a destination, telling where to put the data.
I am obviously missing something, any help would be appreciated.
