Operation Command (Offset: +1)
Refer to the componentās Operation Manual for details on the command
codes for the various CompoWay/F communications functions.
Note 1. SVs cannot be written in a scan in which āstart auto-tuningā has been spec-
ified.
2. Execute commands to select the RAM write mode and backup mode in
only one scan. Some devices will write to non-volatile memory each time
the modes are selected, and the life of the non-volatile memory will be ex-
hausted much more quickly if selections are made every scan.
Write Data (Offset: +2, +4, ... , +22, and +24)
The write data is contained in two words starting at offset 2
Ć n (n = variable
number.)
If a communications error occurs, the write operation that is in progress will be
stopped and the next process will be performed for the general-purpose com-
munications device.
The following example shows the results of the write operation when a com-
munications error occurred while writing variable 2.
⢠Response Monitor Area: Contains the error code.
⢠Operation Command: The operation command wonāt be executed.
⢠Variable 1 write data: The SV will be written normally.
⢠Variable 2 write data: The SV wonāt be written.
⢠Remaining write items: SVs wonāt be written.
Note 1. The decimal point position has to be managed by the user since the com-
ponentās decimal point position is not transferred in CompoWay/F commu-
nications.
2. BCD format is used with Digital Panel Meters (K3N@). For details, refer to
the manual for the model used.
