Simultaneous responses
If data is sent simultaneously by several devices, communication disturbance (interference) occurs.
No unaddressed query commands may be sent in network mode, as otherwise all units will answer
simultaneously and the message frames will mix.
Asynchronous (sporadic) responses may not be sent simultaneously by several devices.
Switch off command acknowledgement if using unaddressed send commands.
Use the ANSW command to set the response behaviour:
Command Function
Description
ANSW
Answer Mode
0: No asynchronous responses
1: Allow asynchronous responses
2: All commands with confirmation and asynchro-
nous responses
3: Debug mode, sent commands are returned (cannot
be used if configuring with Motion Manager!)
4-7: analogous to 0-3, but responses resulting from
a command in the sequence program are not sent
(cannot be set via Motion Manager)
Example:
Switch off asynchronous responses and command confirmation:
ANSW0
Debug mode example:
Activate debug mode:
ANW3
Transmit:
V100
Receive:
v,100: OK
