2.1.1.8.2.2 Setup
If bit 5 in the control byte is set, the mailbox is unmasked. It begins with byte
3 of the process image after the control/status byte and the internal byte. It
covers, depending on the set size, 6, 12 or 18 bytes of the process data (see
page 32, Figure 9). In this area, the data is interpreted as mailbox data, so that
commands (opcodes) can be sent here.
The setup of the data in the mailbox is always identical:
Byte 0 Control/status byte
Byte 1 Internal
byte
Byte 2 Opcode The opcode identifies the command and determines
the interpretation of the parameters.
Byte 3 Toggle
byte
Byte 3 contains the toggle bit (bit 7) and the return
value in the response.
Set up
of the
mailbox
Bytes 4…19 Parameters The interpretation of the parameters depends on the
opcode. The number of parameters is dependent on
opcode and mailbox size.
Figure 16: Setup of the mailbox
This basic form applies for query and response alike. The query is entered in
the output process image of the module, the response is extracted from the in-
put process image.
Note
The content of the mailbox is only interpreted by the module if the opcode is
changed or the toggle bit inverted. A change in the parameters does not lead
to any processing of mailbox content.
If bit 2
5
of the control byte is set, there is a mailbox query (see Table 17). Un-
used bytes of the query are not utilized.
