PLC-5/VME Processor
Communications Commands
6-3
All PCCCs supported by the PLC-5 processor are supported by the
PLC-5/VME processor. Since only a subset are useful to driver programs,
only the useful subset and the PCCCs compatible with the “selective
commands” of the 6008-LTV processor are described here.

Status codes returned in the reply packet are not defined for each PCCC,
but they are listed together in a subsequent section.
Some PCCCs require the specification of a system address as part of the
data. PCCCs support different formats of system addresses, but the only
form described in this manual is a binary memory address of something in
the file storage of the processor. The form recommended is compatible
with the form used in the 6008-LTV processor. Thus, the term “system
address” in the context of the following command descriptions is the
following seven-byte value.
06 FF file number FF element number
For instance, the 7-byte system address 06 FF 01 00 FF 02 01 specifies
element 258 (0102h) in file 1 (0001h).
