Type Communication command
Syntax HLM_COMMAND(command, port [ , node [ , mc_area/mode [ , mc_offset
]]])
Description The HLM_COMMAND command performs a specific Host link command
operation to one or to all Host Link Slaves on the selected port.
Program execution will be paused until the response string has been received
or the timeout time has elapsed. The timeout time is specified by using the
HLM_TIMEOUT parameter. The status of the transfer can be monitored with
the HLM_STATUS parameter.
Notes:
• When using the HLM_READ, be sure to set-up the Host Link Master pro-
tocol by using the SETCOM command.
• The Host Link Master commands are required to be executed from one
program task only to avoid any multi-task timing problems.
Arguments • command
The selection of the Host Link operation to perform. See the first table
below.
• port
The specified serial port. 1 = RS-232C serial port 1; 2 = RS-422A serial
port 2.
• node (for HLM_MREAD, HLM_TEST, HLM_ABORT and HLM_STWR)
The Slave node number to send the Host link command to. Range: [0,
31].
• mode (for HLM_STWR)
The specified CPU Unit operating mode. 0 = PROGRAM mode; 2 =
MONITOR mode; 3 = RUN mode.
• mc_area (for HLM_MREAD)
The memory selection of the TJ1-MC__ to read the send data from. See
the second table below.
• mc_offset (for
HLM_MREAD)
The address of the specified TJ1-MC__ memory area to read from.
Range for VR variables: [0, 1023]. Range for TABLE variables: [0,
