(Word 7) EGD Command Number: Word 7 a write PLC memory operation. If the command is processed
successfully, it will result in PLC reference memory data being sent from the server to the client.
(Word 8) Command Retry Time: Word 8 specifies the time (in milliseconds) the Ethernet Interface will wait
between retries when transferring the command. A total of four tries will be made to send the command. If no
response is received after the four tries (i.e. after four times the retry time value), an error status will be returned
in the COMMREQ status word. If the command retry is specified as zero, the default value of one second is used.
(Word 9) Local PLC - Memory Type: Words 9-11 specify the location in the local PLC where the Ethernet
Interface will get the data to be written to the remote PLC. Valid values for Word 9 are listed in the description
of Read PLC Memory Command. The amount of data to be transferred is specified by the number of memory
units of the data written to the remote PLC (Word 15).
(Words 10 - 11) Local PLC - Memory Starting Address: Words 10 and 11 determine the starting address in the
local PLC from which the data is to be written to the remote PLC. The value entered is the 32-bit offset (1-based)
