8.4 Communication with GOLDSEC MJUC24
With user defined mode in this module, communication with different model of device is available through function to
define other company’s protocol via Frame Editor in user defined mode. Next is how to communicate via GOLDSEC
MJ71C24 computer link communication module of GOLDSEC PLC in GLOFA-PLC. [Figure 8.12] shows system
configuration for communication with GOLDSEC PLC via RS-422 channel. 12-word data is read from D0100 of
GOLDSEC PLC to save in starting %MW50 of GLOFA PLC in order, while GOLDSEC PLC is set to station 1.

8.4.1 Exercising program
As shown in [Figure 8.12], Cnet I/F module operates as a master station in user defined mode. If total Read
command of memory word unit is applied among dedicated protocols of GOLDSEC PLC, continuous reading of D
area in GOLDSEC PLC is available. Set mode and basic setting items of Cnet I/F module and then prepare frame
and GMWIN program for this service
1) Setting items
As in communication via RS-422 channel of Cnet I/F module, set operation mode and basic parameters for RS-422
channel. [Table 8.7] describes setting items of Cnet I/F module.
