Serial Communications Section 6-3
6-3-2 No-protocol Communications
No-protocol communications enable sending and receiving data using the
TRANSMIT (TXD(236)) and RECEIVE (RXD(235)) instructions without using
a protocol and without data conversion (e.g., no retry processing, data type
conversion, or process branching based on received data). The communica-
tions mode for the serial port must be set for no-protocol communications in
the PLC Setup.
No-protocol communications are used to send data in one direction to or from
standard devices that have an RS-232C or RS-422A/485 port using TXD(236)
or RXD(235).
