Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1200 Reference Manual

Publication 1762-RM001C-EN-P
Communications Instructions 21-31
Example 2 - Local Read from a 485CIF
Message Instruction Setup
In this example, the controller reads five elements (words) from the target
device’s (Local Node 2) CIF file, starting at word 20 (or byte 20 for
non-SLC 500 devices). The five elements are placed in the controller’s
integer file starting at word N7:0. If 15 seconds elapse before the message
completes, error bit MG11:0/ER is set, indicating that the message timed
out.
