This section describes the function of the memory link. For outline of the function of
memory link, refer to 1-4 "Communication by Using Memory Link".
With memory link, allocation of element bit or word is performed for PT memory.
The PT memory is a virtual PC area within the NT31/NT31C. The NT31/NT31C
read/write to the internal PT memory and a host controls/monitors the
NT31/NT31C by reading/writing PT memory.
With PT memory, there is no classification of the area as there is with real PC
areas: it consists of a memory link area of just 10000 words from 0000 to 9999.
Memory link can be treated in exactly the same way as direct connections such as
host link and NT link, except that the channels to be allocated differ. The specifica-
tion of bits is also the same.
