Packet Status Codes (STS, EXT STS).”
Protecting data files from write access
Using a PLC-5/11, -5/20, 5/30, -5/40, -5/60, or -5/80 processor,
you can also specify privileges to protect data files from write
access on a DH+ link. Using an SLC 5/02, 5/03, or 5/04 processor,
you can specify static file protection to protect data files from write
access from any of the communication channels.
Important: In some cases, switch settings on an interface module
can disable a command at a PLC/SLC node.
For additional information on your module’s switch
settings, refer to that module’s user documentation.
(For a list of related publications and products, refer to
the preface of this manual.)
In addition to the commands listed in this chapter, we’ve also
included examples:
