● A SEND/RECV instruction cannot be executed for a port where slave communication is in
progress.
● If there is no response, the "master communication sending flags" (YC to YF) remain ON
during the time-out period set in the CPU configuration.
● Up to 16 SEND/RECV instructions can be executed simultaneously for differing COM. ports.
■
Sample program (in the case of CPU with built-in ET-LAN)
● This program sends the MODBUS command (16) from the LAN port of the CPU unit, and
then writes the content of PLC's data registers DT100 to DT101 into the data areas 400001
to 400002 of the external device (MODBUS addresses 0000H to 0001H).
● After it is confirmed that connection 1 is established in master mode (X90) and no
transmissions are currently being executed for the same port (Y90), the SEND instruction is
started.
● The UNITSEL instruction is used to specify a slot number (LAN port: U100) and the
connection number (U1).
● In the SEND instruction, specify and execute PLC's starting address (DT100) and data
amount (U2), MODBUS command (16 = H10), and partner station number (H01) and starting
address (H0). Check addresses of connected devices in the instruction manuals of devices.
