7.2.2 Data communication with intelligent function modules
Data is transmitted or received in 16-bit or 32-bit units. Intelligent function modules
have a buffer memory to store those data.

Figure 7.5 Buffer memory
(1) QCPUs can read and write data to and from the buffer memory. Also note that
some modules can write data to buffer memory from peripheral device via an
interface.
(2) In a buffer memory, space of one word (16 bits) is reserved for each intelligent
function module's unique address.
The smallest address is 0, and these addresses are used to specify a target
module to read or write. The minimum unit is one word. Data of 17 bits to 32
bits is treated as 2-word (32-bit) data.

Figure 7.6 Example image of buffer memory content (D/A converter module)
Figure 7.6 shows 16 bits of the buffer memory of a D/A converter module where
a digital quantities have been written. The number is obtained from digital
quantity that a QCPU wrote to the buffer memory within the range from -4096 to
+4095 in signed binary (16 bits long).
(3) A buffer memory is a RAM.
