9.1.1. Outline of Processing
The following figure shows the data flow from when PLC (SCU) issues command data to
Destination Device using serial communications (Modbus-RTU communication) until PLC
receives response data from Destination Device.
(1)The ladder program executes the deliver command instruction (CMND instruction) for
which Modbus-RTU communication is specified.
(2)The PLC sends the command data for reading "Direct I/O and electromagnetic brake
status" to Driver using Modbus-RTU communication.
(3)The Driver executes the command by receiving the command data from PLC and returns
response data to PLC.
(4)The PLC receives the response data from Driver and stores at the specified address in the
memory.
