MELSEC Commands Supported by the 218IF
The following table shows the common MELSEC ACPU commands supported by the
MP900-Series 218IF Module, and the MEMOBUS command codes corresponding to these
commands.
Note: Special AnACPU commands are not supported. Use the common
ACPU commands for AnACPU access. AnACPU expansion registers
cannot be accessed.
Communications Programs
MELSEC protocol communications can be performed by user programs using the MSG-
SND and MSG-RCV functions.
Refer to Appendix A System Functions for information on using the MSG-SND and MSG-
RCV functions.
The MELSEC protocol functions supported by the 217IF and the 218IF differ.
