Sending/Receiving communication frames at communication intervals

The following is the example of a communication system and frame composition between a master CIMON-PLC and a slave CIMON-PLC by using CIMON-PLC exclusive protocol.

 

A master PLC requests 5-word data of Memory Device ‘D0000’ at every 100ms.

Enter parameters as follows.

  • Master PLC : User Protocol

  • Slave PLC : HMI Protocol

Response frame of master side

This is used to define the response frame received from a slave CIMON-PLC.

Sending frames are sent from a master PLC and expected receiving frames are registered.

Request frame of master side

This is used to define the request frames sent to a slave CIMON-PLC.

Sending frame is sent from a master PLC at every 100ms and the above-defined receiving frame is registered to the receiving frame for sending.

If a sending frame is sent and a registered frame is received, the bit corresponding to the frame number of communication result memory device(If frame number is 1, communication result bit is M0001) will be on for one scan.
