7.5.2 Programming Example of General-purpose Serial Communication

The F159(MTRN) instruction is used to send and receive data via the specified communication port.
F159 (MTRN) instruction
Data is sent and received via the specified COM port .
Devices that can be specified for S:
Devices that can be specified for n:
Devices that can be specified for D:
Sending data
The amount of data specified by n is sent to the external device from among the data stored in the data
table, starting with the area specified by S, through the communication port specified by D. Data can be
sent with the header and terminator automatically attached. A maximum of 2048 bytes can be sent.
When the above program is run, the eight bytes of data contained in DT101 to DT104 and stored in the
send buffer starting from DT100 are sent from the communication port.
Receiving data
Data can be received when the "reception done" flag is off. The received data is stored in the receive
buffer specified by the system register. When the reception of the data is completed (the terminator is
received), the "reception done" flag turns on, and subsequently, receiving data is prohibited. To receive
the next data, execute the F159 (MTRN) instruction and turn the "reception done" flag off to clear the
number of received bytes to 0. To receive data continuously without sending data, clear the number of
transmitted bytes to 0 (set "n" to "K0"), and then execute the F159 (MTRN) instruction.
Binary communication
Selecting "STX not exist" for the header and "None" for the terminator in the general-purpose serial
communication enables the binary communication.
Sending data: Sends the data of bytes to be specified.
Receiving data: Check the No. of bytes received before the process. At that time, the reception done flag
does not work.
Only data registers (DT) can be specified as the send buffer.
WX, WY, WR, WL, SV, EV, DT, LD, I (I0 to ID), K, H
Only the K constants (K0 and K1 only)
