9.1.4 Character area transmission data
This section explains how to transmit the bit device data and word device data
handled in the character areas, as well as the order of transmission when
communicating data between an external device and the PLC by each command.
The transmission data shown in the examples is contained in character area B when
reading, and in character area C when writing, testing.
(1) Data communication using ASCII code
(a) When reading to or writing from a bit device memory
The bit device memory can be read and written in bit units (one device point)
or word units (16 device points).
How data is transmitted in each case is explained below.
1) Bit units (one point)
In case of bit units, the bit device memory is handled from the designated
head device for the number of designated device points sequentially from
the left. They are expressed as "1" (31
H
) if the device is on or "0" (30
H
) if
the device is off.
(Example)
Indicating the ON/OFF status of five points from M10
2) Word units (16 points)
When the bit device memory is handled as word units, each word is
expressed in hexadecimal values in 4-bit units sequentially from the
higher bit.
(Example)
Indicating the ON/OFF status of 32 points from M16
Indicates that M14 is ON
Indicates that M13 is OFF
Indicates that M12 is ON
Indicates that M11 is OFF
Indicates that M10 is ON
