îš‹ Using MEMOBUS Communications
Serial communications with a Programmable Logic Controls (PLCs) or similar devices can be performed
using the MEMOBUS protocol.
îš„MEMOBUS Communications Configuration
MEMOBUS communications are configured using 1 master (PLC) and a maximum of 31 slaves. Serial com-
munications between master and slave are normally started by the master and the slaves respond.
The master performs serial communications with only one slave at a time. Consequently, you must set the
address of each slave before, so that the master can perform serial communications using that address. A slave
that receives a command from the master performs the specified function and sends a response to the master.
