G.1.7 Function Setting and Parameter Details for Non-procedural Protocol
This section explains the MSG-SND function setting and its parameter list details when non-procedure is used as a pro-
tocol. 
Note: Non-procedure communication protocol transmits the M register content intact without a protocol conver-
sion. You can create any protocol in accordance with the remote equipment. 
( 1 ) Message Transmit Function Setting
( a ) 218IFA Setting Example
An example of a function setting when 218IFA is used as a communication device is as follows:
When non-procedure 2 (per byte) is used, set the Pro-Typ field to “00003” (non-procedure 1 (per word)). 
Set the circuit number in accordance with the circuit number allocated to the target 218IFA. 
Set a unique communication buffer channel number for the same circuit. 
For information on the register number, refer to 
G.1.2 ( 1 ) Input Item
 and 
G.1.2 ( 2 ) Output Item
. 
( b ) 218IF Setting Example
An example of a function setting when 218IF is used as a communication device follows:
When non-procedure 2 (per byte) is used, set the Pro-Typ field to “00003” (non-procedure 1 (per word)).
Set the circuit number in accordance with the circuit number allocated to the target 218IF. 
Set a unique communication buffer channel number for the same circuit. 
For information on the register number, refer to 
G.1.2 ( 1 ) Input Item
 and 
G.1.2 ( 2 ) Output Item
.
