SEND(90) transmits “n” words beginning with S (the beginning source word for
data transmission at the source node) to the “n” words beginning with D (the be-
ginning destination word for data reception at destination node N).

Destination node address (N)
00 to 20 (Hex): 0 to 32
The same data can be broadcast to all nodes
on the network by setting the destination node ad-
dress to FF (Hex).
The range of node addresses will vary for networks
other than Controller Link Networks.
0: Destination network address not specified (local network)
1: Destination network address specified.
Response monitor time
00 (Hex): 2 s (for 2 Mbps)
4 s (for 1 Mbps)
8 s (for 500 Kbps)
01 to FE (Hex): 0.1 to 25.4 s (unit: 0.1 s)
FF (Hex): No response monitoring
Destination unit address

Destination network address
00 (Hex): Local network
01 to 7F (Hex): 1 to 127
This setting is enabled only when “Destination network address specified” is set in word C.
When specifying a destination network address, set all the nodes in the routing tables. For
details on routing tables, refer to refer to the section on network interconnections in the Control-
ler Link Unit Operation Manual (W309).
S: Source node beginning send word
D: Destination node beginning receive word
C: Source node first control data word

Number of retries
0 to F (Hex): 0 to 15 retries
Note 1. When communicating in the same network with CV-series PCs manufac-
tured prior to April 1996, the local network address cannot be set to “00.” Set
a number other than “00” as the local network address in the routing tables,
and then specify that number.
2. With the message service, there is no guarantee that a message to a des-
tination node will reach its destination. It is always possible that the mes-
sage may be lost in transit due to noise or some other condition. When using
the message service, it is advisable to prevent this situation from occurring
by performing resend processing at the node where instructions are issued.
With the SEND, RECV, and CMND(194) instructions, resend processing is
performed automatically once the number of retries has been set, so be sure
to specify a number other than “0” for the number of retries.
