The START bit is controlled by the program. This allows a command to
be initiated only when necessary. (Programming methods for START bit
control are given in chapter 7.)
Command Code
The second element in a command rung, the command code, identifies the
following:
Remote station number
Priority status of the command (priority or normal)
Type of command
NOTE: The command code uses the address of an EXAMINE ON
instruction, but does not examine or control any bit in the data table of the
local station processor.
Figure 5.5 shows the coding for this rung element.
Word Command Format
When the command code specifies a protected write, read, or unprotected
write command, use the format shown in Figure 5.6.
