S.ZCOM, SP.ZCOM
(2) The ZCOM instruction does not perform the following processing.
(a) Communication processing between CPU module and programming tool
(b) Monitor processing of other station
(c) Read processing of buffer memory of other intelligent function module by serial communication module.
(d) Low-speed cyclic data transmission of MELSECNET/H
(3) CC-Link IE Controller Network and MELSECNET/H (PLC to PLC network)
(a) When the scan time for the sequence program of host station is longer than the scan time for the other station, the
ZCOM instruction is used to ensure the data reception from the other station.
(1) Example of data communications when the ZCOM instruction is not used
(2) Example of data communications when the ZCOM instruction is used
For details on the transmission delay time on CC-Link IE Controller Network and MELSECNET/H (PLC to PLC
network), refer to the manuals below:
• CC-Link IE Controller Network Reference Manual
• Q Corresponding MELSECNET/H Network System Reference Manual (PLC to PLC network)
(b) When the link scan time is longer than the sequence program scan time, data communications will not be faster
even if the ZCOM instruction is used.
