7.4 List of Commands and Functions for The MC protocol
7.4 List of Commands and Functions for The MC protocol
The following table lists the commands and functions when an external device accesses the PLC.
*1. Make sure to set a multiple of 16 as the head device number of bit devices.
*2. Read or write 32 bits at a time when reading or writing double-word data in a user program, etc.
*3. It is not possible to specify C199 or lower (16 bits) and C200 or higher (32 bits) at the same time.
