Introduction
CJ2 Family PLCs support Structure data types which can be used to access the data areas in SIO units like the Profibus-DP Master PRM21
Using the structure
To use this structure in a program:
- Open the attachment. When using Notepad, turn off "Word Wrap"
- Copy the whole structure to the clipboard
- Paste into CX-Programmer's Data Type window (Note this is only available for CJ2 PLCs)
- Open the IO Table and add the PRM21 unit with the correct Unit address
- Note the SIOU address in the square brackets (e.g. [1500])
- Create a new Global Symbol, of type STRUCT PRM21COMMON and set the physical address (e.g. to 1500)
- The member variables of your new symbol can now be used in your programs to access the SIOU setup area
