2.3 Reading the data
After an undetermined time the Rx-data is received and can be accessed by reading the
Communication Window. Since the data is received asynchronously to the PLC-cycles the
Communication Window has to be read again and again until the data was received (polling). By
comparing the values of the PLC-loop counter you can determine, whether the data received is the
correct data from the read command.
A read access returns the following bytes:
