Sending Commands From a PC Section 5-3
Using SEND(090), RECV(098), and CMND(490)
Make the settings shown below when using the SEND(090), RECV(098), and
CMND(490) instructions in the user’s ladder-diagram program in the PC.
SEND(090) The SEND(090) instruction sends the data in n number of words, starting from
the beginning word S at the local node, to the words starting from the begin-
ning word D at the remote destination node (node number N).
Note The message service does not guarantee that a message will reach the desti-
nation node. A message may be lost during transmission due to factors such
as noise. To prevent this from occurring when using message services, it is
common to set up retry processing at the node from which instructions are
issued. With the SEND(090), RECV(098), and CMND(490) instructions, retry
processing is executed automatically by specifying the number of retries, so
specify a number other than 0.
S: Local node beginning word
D: Destination beginning word
C: First word of control data (below)
