Loop Control Unit data specification
method
Function blocks, analog signals and contact signals (including parameters)
that are designated as the source by the Send to Computer blocks (Block
Models 401 to 404) are appended a tag number by the CX-Process Tool.
Specify this tag number to specify the Loop Control Unit data.
When reading from the Loop Control Unit:
Use the terminal to computer send area in the Data Memory for the node
terminals on the CPU Unit.
When performing operations on the Loop Control Unit:
Write to the function blocks that are specified as the source designation in the
Send to Computer block without using the terminal to computer send area.
Note: Microsoft Windows NT4.0 is required for preparing tag data to be used
by the CX-Process Monitor. This data cannot be prepared on Windows
95/98.
