6 DATA COMMUNICATION USING THE NON PROCEDURE PROTOCOL
Data communication using the non procedure protocol is a function for sending and receiving data between a PLC CPU and an external device using the message format and transmission control procedure specified by the user.
Data can be transferred using the non procedure protocol when it is necessary to perform data communication using the protocol for external devices such as a measuring instrument and a bar code reader. In that case, transmission/receive data processing can be simplified by using the communication functions with the user frames described in the User's Manual (Application).
This chapter explains the basic transmission and reception methods when performing data communication using the non procedure protocol.
Follow the procedure described in this chapter to create sequence programs for sending and receiving data for the PLC CPU.
For details on the additional functions listed below for data communication using the non procedure protocol, see the separate User's Manuals (Application).
