FINS commands can be sent to or received from other PLCs or computers on
the same Ethernet network by executing SEND(090), RECV(098), or
CMND(490) instructions in the ladder diagram program. This enables various
control operations such as the reading and writing of I/O memory between
PLCs, mode changes, and file memory operations.
