Memory Communication Module
Chapter 4
4-2
As shown in Table 4.A, you can control operation of memory
communication modules by using:
LIST functions (see page 4-3).
message (MSG) instructions (see page 4-16).
Typically, you use LIST functions during the development of your
application. This approach lets you select and deselect options manually.
In addition to providing additional selections, you can use message
instructions to automate memory communication module setup once you
are sure of the application. By inserting message instructions into the
ladder program, the memory communication module can be configured
automatically when powering up in the run mode or whenever the system
changes from program mode to run mode.
