Use optical-electric coupler for isolation
between analog circuit and digital circuit. Use
DC/DC converter for isolation between the
basic module’s power supply and external
power supply. No isolation between analog
channels
2.3 Buffer Memory (BFM)
MC200-4AM exchanges data with the basic module through BFM. The basic
module uses TO command to write data into the BFM of MC200-4AM to
configure the status of MC200-4AM. It also uses TO command to write in DA
conversion input data. It uses FROM command to read AD conversion result
and other data from the BFM of MC200-4AM.
Table 2-3 describes the contents of the BFM of MC200-4AM.

Explanation:
1. The basic module can use TO command to write data in BFMs marked “*”
only, but it can use FROM command to read data from any BFM. When
reading from reserved BFMs, the obtained value is 0.
2. BFM#0: channel mode selection. It adopts 4 hexadecimal digits H×

Table 2-4 shows its bit status information.

Input range: -5V~5V, -20~20mA
Input range: -100mV~100mV
Input range: -5V~5V, -20~20mA
Input range: -100mV~100mV
For example: Writing H0123 into BFM#0 makes the following settings:
Input channel 1: closed;
Input channel 2 mode: -100mV~100mV;
Output channel 1 mode: 0~20mA (note that the wiring for voltage output is
different from that for current input, see section 1.3);
Output channel 2 mode: -10V~10V;
3. BFM#1~BFM#2: average sampling times setting; setting range: 1~4096.
Default: 8, corresponding to normal speed; choose 1 if high speed is needed.
4. BFM#7: AD conversion speed setting. 0: 15ms/channel (normal speed); 1:
8ms/channel (high speed). Setting BFM#7 will restore BFM#1-#2 to the
default values, which should be noted in programming. If necessary, you can
re-set BFM#1-#2 after changing the conversion speed.
5. BFM#10: output channel reset command. When the PLC is in STOP mode,
the latest output values in RUN mode will be maintained. To reset these
values to make them become deviation values, write hexadecimal value
