1.

A Communications Request begins when there is power flow to a COMMREQ function in
the client PLC. At this time, the Command Block data is sent from the PLC CPU to the
Ethernet Interface.

2.

For the Establish Read Channel command, the COMMREQ Status word (CRS word) is
returned immediately if the Command Block is invalid. If the syntax is correct, then the CRS
word is returned after the first significant event: upon failure to establish a channel correctly
and in a timely manner or upon the first successful transfer of data.

Once the channel is successfully set up to the server PLC, the Ethernet Interface performs the
periodic reads as specified in the Command Block.
