Page 144: Communication Function 1: Computer Link
7.3 Communication Function 1: Computer Link 7.3.1 Computer Link Overview Computer link • The computer link function is to communicate between a computer and PLCs or between PLC and external devices connected. A proprietary MEWNET protocol called MEWTOCOL-COM is used for communicating with the computer link.
Page 145 MEWTOCOL master function (Transistor type, relay type Ver 1.21 or later version) • 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.
Page 146 Outline of operation when using computer link (MEWTOCOL slave) Command and response • Instructions issued by the computer to the PLC are called commands. Messages sent back to the computer from the PLC are called responses. When the PLC receives a command, it processes the command regardless of the sequence program, and sends a response back to the computer.
Page 147 Format of command and response Command message All command-related items should be noted in the text segment. The unit number must be specified before sending the command. 1. Header (start code) Commands must always have a “%” (ASCII code: H25) or a “<” (ASCII code: H3C) at the beginning of a message.
Page 148 Note: When writing • The method for writing text segments in the message varies depending on the type of command. • If there is a large number of characters to be written, they may be divided and sent as several commands.
Page 149 4. Check code BCC (block check code) for error detection using horizontal parity. The BCC starts from the header and checks each character in sequence, using the exclusive OR operation, and replaces the final result with character text. 5. Terminator (end code) There is always a “...

Page 188 Partial use of link areas In the link areas available for PC(PLC) link, link relays with a total of 1024 points (64 words) and link registers with a total of 128 words can be used. This does not mean, however, that it is necessary to reserve the entire area.
Page 189 Note: Precautions When Allocating Link Areas If a mistake is made when allocating a link area, be aware that an error will result, and communication will be disabled. Avoid overlapping send areas When sending data from a send area to the receive area of another PLC, there must be a link relay and link register with the same number in the receive area on the receiving side.

Page 195 7.5.5 PC(PLC) Link Response Time The maximum value for the transmission time (T) of one cycle can be calculated using the following formula. The various items in the formula are calculated as described below. ← Ts (transmission time per station) Ts = scan time + Tpc (PC(PLC) link sending time) Tpc = Ttx (sending time per byte) x Pcm (PLC link sending size) Ttx = 1/(baud rate x 1000) x 11 ms ….
Page 196 Calculation example 3 When all but one station have been added to a 16-unit link, the largest station number is 16, relays and registers have been allocated evenly, and the scan time for each PLC is 5 ms. Ttx = 0.096 Each Ts = 5 + 6.82 = 11.82 ms Tlt = 0.096 x (13 + 2 x 15) ≒...
Page 197 Reducing the transmission cycle time when there are stations that have not been added If there are stations that have not been added to the link, the Tlk time (link addition processing time) and with this the transmission cycle time will be longer. With the SYS1 instruction, the link addition waiting time Twt in the above formula can be reduced.
Page 198 Error detection time for transmission assurance relays The power supply of any given PLC fails or is turned off, it takes (as a default value) 6.4 seconds for the transmission assurance relay of the PLC to be turned off at the other stations. This time period can be shortened using the SYS1 instruction.
