Using Protocol Macros

Section 5-3

Note The PC Setup settings for the Serial Communications Board are read constantly during PC operation. It is not necessary to restart the PC after changing these settings.

The default settings are shown in the following table. These are the standard settings for protocol macros.

Refer to information on the 2nd operand of PMCR(––) in Appendix B Com- poWay/F Master Protocol and set the number of send data words in S, and set the send data starting in S+1.

2.Coding PMCR(––)

The following example shows how to use a Serial Communications Board to read the present value for a K3N-series Digital Panel Meter using the Com- poWay/F Master standard system protocol sequence No. 600: Send/Re- ceive with ASCII Conversion and Response.

First storage word for receive data

If the input condition turns ON when the Protocol Macro Executing Flag (IR 20708 for Port 1) is OFF, communications sequence No. 600 of the stan- dard system protocol in the Serial Communications Board is called, and data is sent and received via port 1 of the Serial Communications Board.
