It is an [[ASCII]]-based protocol generally used for communication over [[RS-232]] or [[RS-422]]. The protocol enables communication between various pieces of equipment in an industrial environment for programming or controlling those pieces of equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
The maximum allowed message size is 30 [[Word (computer architecture)|words]] per message. Larger messages can be sent by &amp;#039;[[IP fragmentation|fragmentation]]&amp;#039; process, where the same slave returns a series of messages to build up the entire response. PLC host computers can transfer procedures, and monitor PLC data area, and control the PLC using the HostLink protocol.&lt;br /&gt;
