Establish Read Channel (2003)
The Establish Read Channel command requests that a channel be associated with a remote PLC and that data
from the remote PLC be transferred (periodically) to the local PLC. The Command Block specifies the period, the
number of reads from the server (remote PLC) to perform, and the timeout allowed in waiting for each transfer
to complete. The first read is performed immediately, regardless of the period specified.
Example Command Block
Establish a channel (Channel 5) to a remote PLC at IP address 10.0.0.1. Return the COMMREQ Status word to
%R10. Read remote PLC registers %R50–%R57 to local PLC registers %R100–%R107. Repeat the read ten
times, once every 7 seconds, with a timeout of 500ms for each read.

(Word 7) Channel Command Number:
Word 7 requests that a read channel be set up. If the command is
processed successfully, it will result in attempting the specified number of transfers from the server to the
client.
(Word 8) Channel Number
:
Word 8 specifies the channel to be used for the read. This value must be in the
range of 1–32. If the channel number is out of range, a command error indication will be placed in the
COMMREQ Status word. If the channel number is the same as a channel already in use, the channel will be re-
tasked to perform this new command.
