5-15. RS-232C Control Method

Signals are connected to the RS-232C connector in a straight format as shown in Table 5-15-1 RS-232C connection signals. This is because a crossing connec- tion is provided inside the unit. Communication condi- tions are set to meet the conditions given in Table 5-15-2.

Table 5-15-3 shows the command list of RS-232C.

When transmitting the command, be always sure to keep 100 ms interval between each command. Moreover, the process time is required for a while when turning the power ON/OFF and/or selecting the input mode. So in such cases, also be always sure to keep enough intervals between the commands.
