6. COMMUNICATION DATA 6.1 Request Command and Data Transfer Data transfer between PLC and SR Mini HG SYSTEM are executed by request command. Request command “0: Monitor (PLC ← SR Mini HG SYSTEM)” Command which requests the SR Mini HG SYSTEM to write data such as temperature measured values, etc.
Page 18
6. COMMUNICATION DATA Data transfer procedures Change each set value of SR Mini HG SYSTEM from the PLC after the initial settings are made. If each set value of SR Mini HG SYSTEM is changed from the PLC without setting the initial values, it is re-written to 0 with each set value of the PLC at that time set to 0.
Page 19
6. COMMUNICATION DATA Data setting (When transmit data of temperature setting values from PLC to SR Mini HG SYSTEM) Start Set temperature set value (SV) and other setting data to each register (memory) in the PLC. [Data setting] Set “1” to the request When 1 (Setting) is set to request command, the command starts reading the temperature set...
Page 20
6. COMMUNICATION DATA Continued from the previous page. [Confirmation of setting data] Set “2” to the request When 2 (Set value monitor) is set to request command, command starts writing the temperature SR Mini HG SYSTEM set value data set to the PLC side. PCP communication If 3 (Writing on setting data) is set to PCP state = 3 ?
6. COMMUNICATION DATA 6.2 Data Processing Precautions With PLC communication, the maximum number of channels per unit address is 20. Read data of unused channel and undefined address is 0. The data type is treated as binary data with a sign and without a decimal point. For this reason, carefully express and set the data.
Page 22
6. COMMUNICATION DATA Some communication data may become invalid depending on the module selection or the configuration of the SR Mini HG System control unit. If any one of the conditions listed below occurs and data items written are within the setting range, read data becomes 0.
