Send Information Report (2010)The Send Information Report COMMREQ requests that a particular block of memory
within the PLC CPU reference tables be transferred periodically from an Ethernet
Interface (SRTP Client) to a Host Application SRTP Server. The Command Block
specifies the repetition period, the number of transfers to the server to perform, and the
timeout allowed in waiting for each transfer to complete. The first send is performed
immediately, regardless of the period specified.
Example1 Command Block–Basic Example
Establish a channel (channel 7) to a remote Host application server at IP address 3.0.0.1.
Return the COMM_REQ Status word to %R10. Send local PLC registers %R50–%R57 to
remote host. Repeat the send 10 times once every 7 seconds with a timeout of 500 ms
for each read.

Only this address requires subtracting 1 from the intended address.
(Word 7) Channel Command Number: Word 7 requests that a Send Information Report
channel be set up. If the command is processed successfully, it will result in attempting
the specified number of transfers from the client to the server.
The term local PLC is
used here to identify the
client PLC-the PLC
that initiates the
communications
request.
The term SRTP
Server is used here to
identify the Host
server.
