2.6 Communications with a Mitsubishi PLC (A-compatible 1E Frame protocol)Message Functions2-111 Ethernet CommunicationsMessage FunctionsThe message functions are used in user communications applications for the A-compatible 1E Frame pro-tocol. You can send and receive message data by setting the necessary input items and parameters for themessage functions. Message communications using the A-compatible 1E Frame protocol can be carriedout with the same settings used for MEMOBUS messages.Inputs and Outputs for the MSG-SNDE Function ExecuteSpecify the bit to use to execute the message transmission.When the Execute Bit turns ON, the message will be sent.FunctionName MSG-SNDEFunction Sends a message to a remote station on the specified circuit of the communications device type.This function can be used with various protocols.FunctionDefinitionI/O Definitions No. Name I/ODesignation DescriptionInput Items1 Execute B-VAL Executes the transmission.2 Abort B-VAL Forces the transmission to end.3 Dev-Typ I-REG Communications device type218IFD = 164 Pro-Typ I-REGCommunications ProtocolMEMOBUS = 1, No-protocol communications 1 = 2,No-protocol communications 2 = 35 Cir-No I-REG Circuit number218IFD = 1 to 86 Ch-No I-REG Communications buffer channel number218IFD = 1 to 107 Param Address input First address of parameter list(MA or DA)Output Items1 Busy B-VAL Processing.2 Complete B-VAL Process completed.3 Error B-VAL Error occurred.Keep the Execute Bit ON until the Complete or Error Bit turns ON.
