Usage of Receive Data Area before execution of ExecPMCR instruction
When the ExecPMCR instruction is executed, the reception buffer is cleared to 0 immediately
before the communications sequence is executed.
Accordingly, a user program that routinely reads present value data, such as the one shown
below, would clear the present value data to 0 if data could not be retried due to a reception
error, etc.
This means that data corresponding to the first m words in the Receive Area has a function to
read from the memory used for CJ-series Unit of the CPU Unit immediately before the communi-
cations sequence is executed and set again, so that the last receive data will be retained even if
a reception error occurs.
This ensures that the present value data will not be cleared to 0 and that the previous receive
data will be maintained when receptions fail.
Specify m representing the number of data words to be retained. (If 0 or 1 is specified, the last
receive data will not be retained and all data will be cleared to 0.)
Example: Protocol that executes communications sequence once and ExecPMCR instruction to
take in receive data continuously or periodically in the user program.
