Message Packet Formats

Chapter 5

5-38

The above are privileged commands. This means that only a computer
can execute them. Their primary purpose is for uploading and
downloading PLC-4 memory.

PLC-4 stations cannot initiate any type of command message.

In addition to the message packet fields already described for the basic
command set (see “Message Packets”), PLC-4 messages may also contain
a byte called PLC-4 SEL. This field specifies which controller in the
PLC-4 Microtrol loop is the ultimate destination of the command
message. The allowed values for this field are:

Allocate

This command causes the 1773-KA module to allocate PLC-4 access
privileges to the computer station that originated the allocate commands.
Once the computer has this access privilege, it can send any of the other
privileged commands to the selected PLC-4 controller. No other
computer can gain access privileges to the same PLC-4 controller until the
privileges of the first computer have been deallocated.

If the 1773-KA module loses power, all access privileges are deallocated.
