Codes
If the Communications Port Enabled Flag is OFF for the port number specified
in C+3, the instruction will be treated as NOP(000) and will not be executed.
The Error Flag will be turned ON in this case.
When an address in the current bank of the EM Area is specified for D, the
transmitted data will be written to the current EM bank of the destination node.
When data will be transmitted outside of the local network, the user must reg-
ister routing tables in the PLCs (CPU Units) in each network. (Routing tables
indicate the routes to other networks in which destination nodes are con-
nected.)
Refer to the FINS command response codes in the CS/CJ/CP Series Com-
munications Commands Reference Manual (W342) for details on the comple-
tion codes for network communications.
Only one network instruction may be executed for a communications port at
one time. To ensure that RECV(098) is not executed while a port is busy, pro-
gram the port's Communications Port Enabled Flag (A202.00 to A202.07) as
a normally open condition.
Communications port numbers 00 to 07 are shared by the network instruc-
tions and PMCR(260), so RECV(098) cannot be executed simultaneously
with PMCR(260) if the instructions are using the same port number.
Noise and other factors can cause the transmission or response to be cor-
rupted or lost, so we recommend setting the number of retries to a non-zero
value which will cause RECV(098) to be executed again if the response is not
received within the response monitoring time.
Operation
ON if the serial port number specified in C+1 is not within
the range of 00 to 04.
ON if the Communications Port Enabled Flag is OFF for
the communications port number specified in C+3.
OFF in all other cases.
These flags are turned ON to indicate that net-
work instructions, including PMCR(260) may be
executed for the corresponding ports (00 to 07).
A flag is turned OFF when a network instruction
is being executed for the corresponding port and
turned ON again when the instruction is com-
pleted.
These flags are turned ON to indicate that an
error has occurred at the corresponding ports (00
to 07) during execution of a network instruction.
The flag status is retained until the next network
instruction is executed. The flag will be turned
OFF when the next instruction is executed even if
an error occurred previously.
These words contain the completion codes for
the corresponding ports (00 to 07) following exe-
cution of a network instruction.
The corresponding word will contain 0000 while
the network instruction is being executed and the
completion code will be written when the instruc-
tion is completed. These words are cleared when
program execution begins.
