(1) Confirmation of RS-232 control signal status

MELSEC-Q

The control signal status of DTR, DSR, RS, and CD can be confirmed during data communication by the RS-232 control signal status storage area (address 254H, 264H) of the GX Configurator-SC or Q series C24 buffer memory.

(2) Designation of RS and DTR signal status

When the Q series it turned on or off, the on and off states of the RS and DTR signals can be designated when the buffer memory of the RS and DTR signal

status designation area (address: 92H, 132H) for the corresponding bit is turned on or off by the RS signal or DTR signal. 1 2 3

DTR

1 The RS signal is controlled by the Q series C24 in the following cases. (Ignore setting contents.)

When data is communicated with half-duplex communication

When communication time and the RS and CS signals are controlled by the modem function 2 The DTR signal is controlled by the Q series C24 in the following cases. (Ignore setting

contents.)

When the DTR and DSR signals are controlled

When data is communicated by the modem function

3 After writing in the buffer memory, a lag of 0 to 20 ms occurs until it is reflected in the signal.

POINT

Be sure to control the RS and DTR signals with the Q series C24. Control of the RS and DTR signals by the user is a prime factor for data communication errors.
