Batch Read of Word Device (WR command)
1 ) Command specification
Protocol format 1 is shown.
Batch read command (words)
Computer
Programmable
controller
Notes
• Specify the range and number of devices (16 bit words) so as to satisfy the following
conditions.
≤
- 1
- Head device No. + number of devices (number of devices
devices) -1
- When reading 32-bit devices (C200 to C255), the returned data is a double word.
Hence, the maximum number of devices is 32.
• The station number, PC (PLC) number, number of devices, and sum check code are
expressed in hexadecimal.
2 ) Command examples
a ) Example 1
