CALL PLCINIT Statement

Purpose:

This command is used to initialize communication with a given PLC of a

given type. CALL PLCINIT must be issued prior to any other
communication (reading or writing) to the specified PLC. CALL PLCINIT

does auto-baud rate detect for some PLC’s and sets up specific
communications parameters for others. See the section specific to your
Interface Option for information regarding the initialization parameters for

that particular system. If the CALL PLCINIT command fails, the T-60 Series
unit will break your program and generate the error message “PLC link not

established.” If this occurs, refer to the individual section for your option to
make sure that the connections and communications configurations are
correct. If they are OK, check to make sure that you do not have a password

in your PLC that is not allowing access to the programming port.

Syntax:

CALL PLCINIT(id,cmd)

Comments:

id

specifies the address of the PLC that you wish to initialize. Some PLC’s

allow addressing of multiple PLC’s, others do not. Refer to your PLC
Operator’s manuals for information regarding capability and implementation.
