FINS Commands and Responses
Section 5-1
The MRES codes are shown in the following table along with the results they
indicate. Refer to
Communications Commands Reference Manual (W342)
for
details on response codes including the SRES.
5-1-4 Sending FINS using CMND
The CMND instruction can be executed from the user program in a CS/CJ-
series PLC. CMND sends “n” bytes of command data beginning with S (the
beginning send word for storing command data at the source node) to desti-
nation node N. In return, “m” bytes of response data are stored at the source
node beginning with D (the beginning receive word for storing response data).

Destination node N
00 to 20 (Hex): 0 to 32
The same data can be broadcast to all nodes
on the network by setting the destination node address
to FF (Hex).
The range of node addresses will vary for networks
other than Controller Link Networks.

If the baud rate is slow, then setting a
small value may generate an error. The
standard is approximately 4 seconds at
1 Mbps or 8 seconds at 500 Kbps.
