Communications Method

	RS232C
	Full-duplex, asynchronous communication method
Communications baud rate	2400, 4800, 9600bps
Data	8 bit
Parity	No
Start bit	1 bit
Stop bit	1 bit

Set RS232C communications baud rate with Pr0C. Any change to these parameters will be valid when you power on the control power supply. For detailed information, refer to list of parameters related to the following communications:

List of User Parameters Related to Communications

	PrNo.	Parameter Name	Range of Setting		Functional Description
	00	Shaft name	1 - 15	Refer to descriptions on parameters on pages 88 and 116.

		Setting of baud rate for	0 - 2	Set the communications speed of RS232C communications.
	0C			0 : 2400[bps]	1 : 4800[bps]	2 : 9600[bps]
		RS232C communications
				A change will be valid when you power on the control power supply.

Time for data transmission is calculated with the following expression, for instance, in the case of 9600 [bps]: (1000/9600) x (1 + 8 + 1) = 1.04 [ms/byte]

Stop bit

Data

When the baud rates of 2400 bps and 4800 [bps] are used, data transmission time will be 4.17 [ms/byte] and

2.08[ms/byte], respectively. Note, however, actual communication time will be added time necessary for processing received command, and necessary for switching between a line and transmission/reception control.

Handshaking Code

For line control, the following codes are used.

Name	Code	Functions
ENQ	05h	Transmission request
EOT	04h	Ready for receiving
ACK	06h	Acknowledgement
NAK	15h	Negative acknowledgement

ENQ …When the module has a block to transmit, it sends ENQ.

EOT … When the module is ready to receive a block, it sends EOT. The line enters transmission mode when sending ENQ and receiving EOT. It enters reception mode when receiving ENQ and sending EOT.

ACK … When a received block is judged normal, ACK is returned.

NAK … When a received block is judged as abnormal, NAK is returned. A judgment is made based on checksum and timeout.
