3.5 Precautions for communication
3.5.1 Precautions after wiring and before communication
○Check or set the each communication setting by the operation display
panel.
・The communication specification shall be the customer’s communication
standard.
・The communication mode shall be the SERIAL mode. (When serial mode is
activated, this mode is selected. Refer to Chapter 3.13.11)
Other modes can perform reading, but only SERIAL mode can perform
writing.
○Check or set the communication parameters using the operation display
panel.
Check or set the communication speed so that the product synchronizes with
the host computer (master) prepared by the customer.
○Check the slave address by the operation display panel.
No response is returned when a request message is sent from a slave
address other than those set in the product.
3.5.2 Precautions for communicating
○Allow a suitable interval between requests.
To send request messages in series, wait for 100 msec. or longer after
receiving a response message from the product before sending the next
message.
○Retry (resend request message)
.
The response may not be returned due to noise. If no message is returned
1sec. after sending a request message, resend the request message.
○If necessary send a read request message to check if it was written
correctly.
