(a)Detecting a transmission error

1)The following device and input signal turn ON.

OUTPUT instruction complete device + 1

ERR LED ON signal (XE/XF)

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

Or, it can be checked by reading the data transmission result storage area in the buffer memory (addresses 257H/267H).

For details on how to check the error code contents and 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 a "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).
