MEWTOCOL-COM slave function
The slave can be a PLC or any external device which supports the MEWTOCOL-COM
protocol. The slave automatically receives a command, processes it and sends back a
response. To use the built-in slave functionality of the PLC, select "MEWTOCOL-COM
Master/Slave" in the system registers. For 1:N communication in a C-NET, the station number
must be specified in the system registers of the slave. No program is necessary on the slaves.
The program for the master side must send and receive commands according to the
MEWTOCOL-COM protocol. MEWTOCOL-COM contains the commands used to control and
monitor the slave operation.
