Setting CMND(490) Operands
S Operand
• Set the FINS command code (2803/2804/2805 hex) in S.
• Set the data without spaces (see note) following the FINS command code
in S+1 onwards.
Note Frames are set in the same order as in I/O memory from leftmost to rightmost
byte (without blank bytes (00 hex)).
C Operand
C+2 bits 00 to 07 (Send destination network address)
• With routing tables that treat serial communications path as a network:
Network address corresponding to serial port in the routing tables.
• Without routing tables that treat serial communications path as a network:
• CompoWay/F, Modbus: Depends on the system configuration.
• Host Link FINS: Always set the unit address of the serial port.
C+3 bits 08 to 15 (Remote destination node address)
• CompoWay/F, Modbus
• With routing tables that treat serial communications path as a network:
00 hex (indicates local PLC communications)
• Without routing tables that treat serial communications path as a net-
work: Node address for specifying the actual remote PLC
• Host Link FINS
• Host Link unit number incremented by one (1 to 32)
C+3 bits 00 to 07 (Send destination unit address)
• CompoWay/F, Modbus
Always set the unit address of the serial port
