3.1 How the SEND/RECEIVE Interface Works on the CPU
Functions (FCs)
The following functions (FCs) are available for handling communication on
connections:
S
AG_SEND/AG_LSEND
This block takes the user data from the specified user data area and transfers it
to the Ethernet CP.
S
AG_RECV/AG_LRECV
This block transfers received user data to the user data area specified in the
call.
The diagram below illustrates the situation. Using the FCs AG_SEND/AG_LSEND
and AG_RECV/AG_LRECV, the user program instructs the Ethernet CP to send or
receive data on the configured connection.
