3.2.1 Extended MEMOBUS Protocol
The Extended MEMOBUS protocol is used between Controllers with the 218IF Module. It
can also be used between 215IF Modules.
From a functional point of view, Extended MEMOBUS provides extended functions over the
MEMOBUS protocol using conventional RS-232C communications. A wider range of func-
tions and more efficient communications are provided than with the MEMOBUS protocol.
The MEMOBUS mode and the general-purpose message mode are available with the
Extended MEMOBUS protocol. These are specified in the parameters of the send message
and receive message functions (MSG-SND and MSG-RCV).
„ Extended MEMOBUS Protocol Functions
The functions provided by the Extended MEMOBUS protocol are shown in the following
table.
