11-2-2 PC Memory Areas
The memory areas of the PC that can be specified for results storage when
executing commands from the PC are listed in the table below. The Variable
type is set in the first byte of the results storage area. The remaining three
bytes contain the address for communications.
Addresses in the Addresses for communications column are not the same as
the actual memory addresses.
Note The variable types (area designations) given in parentheses can also be
used, allowing CV-series or CVM1 programs to be more easily corrected for
use with CS/CJ-series PCs.
Word and Bit Addresses Three bytes of data are used to express data memory addresses of PCs. The
most significant two bytes give the word address and the least significant byte
gives the bit number between 00 and 15. The word address combined with
the bit number expresses the bit address. The bit number is always 00
because Ethernet Units can handle only word data, i.e., individual bits cannot
be addressed.
Word addresses for specific memory area words can be calculated by con-
verting the normal decimal word address to hexadecimal and adding it to the
first word in the Addresses for communications column in the above table. For
example, the address for communications for D00200 would be 0000 (from
above table) plus C8 (decimal 200 converted to hexadecimal), or 00C8.
