Memory Map Protocol - KEP MMI-1500 Installation & Operation Manual

16.25 Memory Map Protocol

Memory Map protocol is similar to IBM 3764R communication protocol. The HMI reserves 512 words of Data memory for use
with this protocol. The Host must update the values in these words. The HMI uses the words to display data and control
parts status on its screen. When touch actions are taken, data is sent to the Host and the Host must then update the memory
in the MMI. The Host is always responsible for updating the HMI memory.
Select one of the following from the Driver list in the System Parameters settings:
MemoryMap_Master: The HMI commands take precedence whenever there is a "collision" on the communications lines.
The Host must wait for all clear and then send commands.
MemoryMap_Slave: The Host commands take precedence whenever there is a "collision" on the communications lines. The
HMI must wait for all clear and then send commands.
16.25.1 HMI Setting
Communication parameters must be set the same as those of the PLC. The following settings are recommended.
