Overview
Section 7-1
• General I/O area allocation is performed using [PORT_* Number of trans-
ferred words], [PORT_* Area type], [PORT_* Direction], and [PORT_*
First address].
• The destination of allocations in the MC Unit is as follows:
When [PORT_* Direction] is 0 (MC Unit to CPU): Output variables
When [PORT_*Direction] is 1 (CPU to MC Unit): Input variables
• The above data is valid only during PC21 bus initialization. It will be
ignored if it is changed after the power is already ON.
Custom I/O Variable Areas (P00004 Bit 8 = 1) (Unit Ver. 2.1 or Later)
As shown in the following table, general I/O areas A to H can be allocated to
any variables in the MC Unit.
For general I/O area A, the number of transferred words is specified with
[PORT_A No. of transferred words (bits 00 to 07 of m+4)] of [General I/O area
range setting] in the allocated DM area, just as when P00004 bit 8 is set to 0.
The area type in the CPU Unit is specified with [PORT_A Area type (bits 08 to
14 of m+4)]. In addition, the transfer direction is specified with [PORT_A
Direction]. The first address in the CPU Unit is specified with [PORT_A First
address (m+5)].
Area Variables
General I/O A Variable areas and custom addresses can be set for the following
variables.
• System variables
• Global general variables
• Input variables
• Output variables
• Position data
• Task variables
