MEWTOCOL slave function
• This function is to receive commands from the computer link, execute the process and send back the
results. Any special ladder program is not necessary to use this function. (Set the communication
conditions in the system registers.) It enables the 1:1 or 1:N communication with a master computer or
PLC.
• The program for the computer side must be written in BASIC or C language according to the
MEWTOCOL-COM. MEWTOCOL-COM contains the commands used to monitor and control PLC
operation.
General-purpose serial communication
• With general-purpose serial communication, data can be sent back and forth between an image
processing device connected to the COM. port and an external device such as a bar code reader.
• Reading and writing of data is done using a ladder program in the FPΣ, while reading and writing of
data from an external device connected to the COM. port is handled through the FPΣ data registers.
