21-30 Communications Instructions
Example 1 - Local Read from a 500CPU
Message Instruction Setup
In this example, the controller reads 10 elements from the target’s (Local
Node 2) N7 file, starting at word N7:50. The 10 words are placed in the
controller’s integer file starting at word N7:0. If five seconds elapse before
the message completes, error bit MG11:0/ER is set, indicating that the
message timed out.
