Transmission/Reception via the RS232C

Control the transmission/reception via the RS232C interface using

ow control or

by using acknowledge messages. Transmission/reception may not work correctly
through unilateral transmission.

RS232C

ow control

By using Xon/Xoff, the transmission/reception on the PLZ-4W can be controlled.
DC (device control) codes are used to carry out control.

Acknowledge message

An acknowledge message is information sent from the PLZ-4W to the controller. It
noti

es that the processing of the program message has been completed.

The acknowledge message is an ASCII code string consisting of only the header.
The following two types are available.

• OK:

Normal completion

• ERROR: Syntax error or other errors

To use acknowledge messages, select “1. Con

guration” | “3. Interface” | “RS232C”

from the menu and turn Ack ON.
On the controller, the RS232C con

guration must be set to full-duplex operation.
