Special Data Registers for Data Link Communication Error
In addition to data registers assigned for data communication, the master station has 31 special data registers and each
slave station has one special data register to store data link communication error codes. If any communication error occurs
in the data link system, communication error codes are set to a corresponding data register for link communication error at
the master station and to data register D8069 at the slave station. For details of link communication error codes, see below.
If a communication error occurs in the data link communication system, the data is resent two times. If the error still exists
after three attempts, then the error code is set to the data registers for data link communication error. Since the error code
is not communicated between the master and slave stations, error codes must be cleared individually.
Master Station
If any slave stations are not connected, master station data registers which are assigned to the vacant slave stations can be
used as ordinary data registers.
Slave Station
Note: Slave station data registers D8070 through D8099 can be used as ordinar y data registers.
Data Link Communication Error Code
The data link error code is stored in the special data register allocated to indicate a communication error in the data link
system. When this error occurs, special internal relay M8005 (data link communication error) is also turned on at both
master and slave stations. The detailed information of general errors can be viewed using
WindLDR . Select Online > Mon-
itor , then select Online > PLC Status > Error Status: Details . See page 29-2.
When more than one error is detected in the data link system, the total of error codes is indicated. For example, when
framing error (error code 2h) and BCC error (error code 10h) are found, error code 12h (18) is stored.
