A.2.3 Parameter Details

„ Data Address (PARAM05)

PARAM05 outputs the data address requested by the sender.

„ Data Size (PARAM06)

PARAM06 outputs the data size (number of bits or words) specified in the read or write
request. For no-protocol 2, the number of bytes is output.

„ Remote CPU Number (PARAM07)

PARAM07 outputs the remote CPU number.

„ Coil Offset (PARAM08)

Set the offset word address of the coils.

This parameter is valid when the function code is 01H, 05H, or 0FH.

„ Input Relay Offset (PARAM09)

Set the offset word address of the input relays.

This parameter is valid when the function code is 02H.

„ Input Register Offset (PARAM10)

Set the offset word address of the input registers.

This parameter is valid when the function code is 04H or 0AH.

„ Holding Register Offset (PARAM11)

Set the offset word address of the holding registers.

This parameter is valid when the function code is 03H, 06H, 09H, 0BH, 0DH, 0EH, or 10H.

„ Write Range LO (PARAM12), Write Range HI (PARAM13)

Set the write-enable range for write requests. Any request outside this range will result in an
error.

This parameter is valid when the function code is 0BH, 0EH, 0FH, or 10H.

0 ≤ write range LO ≤ write range HI ≤ maximum value of MW address

„ For System Use (PARAM14)

This parameter retains the channel number currently being used. Make sure that this param-
eter is set to 0000H by the user program on the first scan after the power is turned ON. The
parameter value must not be changed by the user program at any other time because the
parameter is used by the system.

A.2.4 Inputs

„ EXECUTE (RECEIVE MESSAGE EXECUTION Command)

When EXECUTE turns ON, the message is received. This command must be remained ON
until COMPLETE (Processing Completed) or ERROR (Error Occurred) turns ON.

„ ABORT (RECEIVE MESSAGE ABORT Command)

The ABORT command aborts message reception. This takes precedence over EXECUTE
A
(RECEIVE MESSAGE EXECUTION command).

„ DEV-TYP (Communications Device Type)

DEV-TYP specifies the communications device type.

Device Type Code

215IF 1
217IF 5
218IF 6
Serial 8
SVB-01 11

„ PRO-TYP (Communications Protocol)

PRO-TYP specifies the communications protocol.

When transmitting messages with the MELSEC or OMRON protocol, specify MEMOBUS
protocol (=1). Protocol is converted by the communications device (217IF or 218IF).

• MEMOBUS: Setting = 1
• No-protocol 1: Setting = 2 (Data is sent or received in word units without using a proto-
col.)
• No-protocol 2: Setting = 3 (Data is sent or received in byte units without using a proto-
col.)
Note: For no-protocol transmissions, no response is received from the
sender.

„ CIR-NO (Line No.)

CIR-NO specifies the line number.

Device Line No.

215IF 1 to 8
217IF 1 to 24
218IF 1 to 8
Serial 1 or 2

„ CH-NO (Channel No.)

CH-NO specifies the channel number of the communications unit. Only one channel number
can be set for the same line.

Device Channel No.

215IF 1 to 13
217IF 1
218IF 1 to 10
Serial 1

„ PARAM (Parameter List Leading Address)

PARAM specifies the leading address of the parameter list. For details on settings, refer to
A.2.3 Parameter Details.

Applicable Leading Address Examples

Registers
MW MA00000, MA00100, …
DW DA00000, DA00200, …
#W #A00000, #A00300, …

A.2.5 Outputs

„ BUSY (Processing in Progress)

BUSY indicates that the processing is being executed. Keep EXECUTE set to ON.

„ COMPLETE (Processing Completed)

COMPLETE is turned ON for only 1 scan upon normal termination.

„ ERROR (Error Occurred)

ERROR is turned ON for only 1 scan when an error occurs.

For error causes, refer to PARAM00 and PARAM01 described in A.2.3 Parameter Details.
