6-2 Sending Acyclic Messages Using
SendCmd Instructions
The SendCmd (send command) instruction can be used in the CPU Unit user program of the CJ-series
PROFIBUS Unit to send acyclic messages.
In a program that issues acyclic messages, the following execution conditions are generally used
based on the AND gate:
• Network Enabled Flag on the CPU Unit side
• *_MstrOperateSta; the PROFIBUS Master Unit is in Operate mode and commencing I/O data
exchange.
Below is an example of reading alarm information using the EXPLICIT MESSAGE SEND command
(2801) from the PROFIBUS Communication Unit with the following system configuration:
• PROFIBUS Master Unit’s station address: 05
• Unit number: 0
• Unit address: 11 Hex
• GRT1-PRT Communication Unit’s station address: 65
