The Protocol Macro Function
This section explains how to use the Protocol Macro function.
8-6-1 Introduction
The Protocol Macro function is a communications protocol that controls data
transfers with various communications devices and general-purpose compo-
nents equipped with RS-232C or RS-422/485 ports. The user can easily modify
the data transfer procedures (communications sequences) with OMRON’s Pro-
tocol Support Software and execute the communications sequences from the
ladder program with PMCR(––).
The Communications Boards come equipped with seven communications pro-
cedures. These standard sequences can be used as is or modified to meet the
requirements of a particular application.
Note Refer to the Communications Board Operation Manual for details on Commu-
nications Boards and the Protocol Support Software Operation Manual for de-
tails on the Protocol Support Software.
Only one device can be connected with an RS-232C connection. The RS-232C
cable can be up to 15 m long.
