Functions (1) The COM instruction is used to make faster data communication with a remote
I/O station or to receive data positively when the scan time of the master station
sequence program is longer than that of the local station sequence program.
(2) On execution of the COM instruction, the PC CPU temporarily stops the
sequence program processing and performs general data processing (END
processing) and link refresh processing.
(3) The COM instruction may be used any number of times in the sequence
program. In this case, note that the sequence program scan time increases the
period of general data processing and link refresh times.
REMARK
By general data processing, the following processings are performed.
• Communication between the PC and peripheral devices.
• Monitoring of other stations.
• Read of buffer memory of other special function modules using a computer link module.
