MEWTOCOL master function (32k type only)
• This function is to carry out the communication on the master side (side 0that issues commands) of the
computer link. It is executed with the PLC's instruction F145(SEND) or F146(RECV). It is not necessary
to write the response process as a ladder, so the program is easier than the general-purpose
communication function.
The 1:1 or 1:N communication is available between our devices equipped with the computer link function
and the MEWTOCOL-COM.
[Our devices (e.g.)] : PLC, IPD, temperature control unit, message runner, eco-power meter
For the MEWTOCOL master function, communication is possible with COM1 port and CCOM2 port of
the 32k type only. Do not execute the F145 (SEND) nor F146 (RECV) instructions when the unti is used
as a slave unit.
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.
