Cause: after execution of an output

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

command, other output instructions are

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sent before the output was not completed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Action: let the computer to read the PNC-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

900 output by the output instruction

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and then send another output instruction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

11

Cause: an error occurs in a device

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

control instruction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Action: correct your program.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12

Cause: incorrect parameter are set to a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

device control instruction (the default

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

value is set to the erroneous parameter)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Action: correct your program.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

13

Cause: parameters are overflowing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Action: correct your program.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

14

Cause: the number of the parameters set

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

is more than specified or a colon ':' was

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

not used to terminate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Action: correct your program.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

15

Cause: framing error, parity error or over-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

run error at the time of data receipt .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Action: match the communication

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

protocols of both computer and PNC-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

900 (baud rate, data bit length, stop bit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

length).

 

 

 

 

 

 

16

Cause: the I/O buffer overflows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Action: This error does not occur when

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hardware handshake is performed, but

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

may occur when software handshake is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

performed. If this error occurs, check the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

remaining buffer capacity of the PNC-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

900 and send less data than the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

remaining buffer capacity.
