7.2.2 Functions
(1) SEL Program Communication
It is a communication mode to send and receive data of the indicated SIO channels using SEL
commands for communication (OPEN, READ, WRIT, CLOS, TMRW and SCHA). OPEN Command
enables sending and receiving the indicated SIO channels, and READ Command receives the data
up to the last character (indicated by SCHA Command) and WRIT Command sends the data in the
indicated column number. (Refer to SEL programing manual for detail)
(2) IAI Protocol Communication
It is a communication mode that enables the host system to refer to data inside the controller or
command to be executed using the serial communication protocol dedicated for IAI. (Refer to other
documents for details for such as transfer format)
It is available exclusively in the teaching port and EtherNet channel as a default, but it is necessary
to set permission to use in multiple channels for IAI protocol communication in I/O parameter in
order to use it in the extension SIO channels.
The extension SIO channel available for IAI protocol communication is only User Released Channel
2 for both TTA and MSEL.
