(1)Confirmation using the sequence program

1)The following device and input signals turn ON.

INPUT instruction complete device + 1

Reception abnormal detection signal (X4/XB)

ERR LED ON signal (XE/XF)

2)The reception error code can be checked using the INPUT instruction control data ((S1) + 1).

Or, it can be checked by reading the data reception result storage area in the buffer memory (addresses 258H/268H).

For details on how to check the error code contents and take corrective actions, see Chapter 10.

(b)How to turn off the ERR LED and clear the error code (see Section 10.1.2.)

1)To turn off only the ERR LED, write "1" to the LED OFF request area (addresses 0H/1H) in the buffer memory.

2)To turn off the ERR LED and clear the error code, turn ON the ERR LED

OFF request output signal (YE/YF).
