Unsolicited Messages

For detailed information about the Unsolicited Message format, see the TCP/IP Ethernet Communications for the Series 90-70 Programmable Controller (GFK-1004).

The following is an example of a COMREQ Function Block and a COMREQ Command Block that will:

Establish a channel (channel 7 in this example) to a remote Host application server at IP address 3.0.0.1.

Return the Communication Request Status (CRS) word to %R10.

Send local PLC registers %R50-%R57 to the remote Host.

Repeat the send ten (10) times once every 7 seconds with a time-out of 500 ms. for each read.

The COMREQ function block for this example is:
