1.1 Outline
E5AN/EN/CN/GN
1--3
When the host computer transmits a command frame, the E5AN/EN/CN/
GN transmits a response frame that corresponds to the command frame.
A single response frame is returned for each command frame. The follow-
ing diagram shows the operation of the command and response frames.

Host computer
E5AN/EN/CN/GN
Allow a wait time of at least 2 ms until the next command is sent after the
host computer receives a response from the E5AN/EN/CN/GN.
Communications with the host computer are carried out through a stan-
dard RS-485, RS-232C (RS-232C is only available with the E5AN/EN)
interface.
RS-485
·
RS-485 connections can be 1 : 1 or 1 : N. A maximum of 32 Units (including
the host computer) can be connected in one-to-N systems.
·
The total cable length is 500 m max.
·
Use a shielded, twisted-pair cable AWG28 or larger for wiring the E5AN/
EN/CN, and AWG24 to AWG14 for wiring the E5GN.
