COMMREQ Status Word:
The Ethernet Interface updates the CRS word to show success or
failure of the command. Command words 3 and 4 specify the PLC memory location of the CRS
word.
(Word 3) COMMREQ Status Word Memory Type:
This word specifies the memory type for the
CRS word. The memory types are listed in the table below:

(Word 4) COMMREQ Status Word Address Offset:
This word contains the offset within the
memory type selected.
The status word address offset is a zero-based number.
For example, if
you want %R1 as the location of the CRS word, you must specify a zero for the offset. The offset
for %R100 would be 99 decimal. Note, however, that this is the only zero-based field in the
Channel commands.
(Word 5):
Reserved. Set to zero.
(Word 6):
Reserved. Set to zero.
(Words 7 and up) Data Block:
The Data Block defines the Channel command to be performed.
