Setting Communication Specifications (Parallel Interface)

Set the communication specifications of controller. Use the same communication specification settings for the controller as the external device.
Note
  1. On the Main screen, tap [System] - [Communication] - [Parallel].
    The Parallel window is displayed.
  2. Tap [Setting] to set communication specifications.

    Item
    Set Value
    [Factory defaults]
    Description
    Output polarity
    • [On at NG]
    • On at OK
    When the judgement result is either OK or NG, choose whether to activate OR and DO0 to 15.
    Output control
    [None]
    Method to output measurement results asynchronous with peripherals.
    When "Output control" Is Set to "None"
    Handshaking
    Method to output measurement results synchronous with peripherals.
    When "Output Control" Is Set to "Handshaking"
    Synchronization output
    Method to output measurement results synchronous with processing time. STEP signal set in "Number of delay" is neglected, and measurement results are output when next STEP signal is ON.
    When "Output Control" Is Set to "Synchronization output"
    Output period
    2.0 to 5,000.0ms
    [10.0ms]
    Valid only When "Output control" is set to "No".
    Set the output circle of measurement results. Please set it as a value bigger than "Start time + output time" and smaller than the value of measurement interval.
    If it's bigger than measurement interval, output time will be delayed during re-measurement.
    Gate ON delay
    1.0 to 1,000.0ms
    [1.0ms]
    Sets the time from when results are output to parallel interface to GATE signal ON. Waiting time prior to stable data output.
    Please set it as a value bigger than delay time of peripherals.
    Output time
    1.0 to 1,000.0ms
    [5.0ms]
    Valid only when "Output Control" is set to "No" or "synchronous output".
    Set the time when GATE signal is ON. Please set the time required for peripherals to acquire measurement results.
    Timeout
    0.5 to 120.0s
    [10.0s]
    Valid only when "Output control" is set to "Handshaking".
    Timeout Error is deemed when no response from peripherals is received during the setting time.
    Number of delay
    1 to 15
    [1]
    Valid only when "output control" is set as "Synchronization output".
    ON of STEP signal is neglected several times from setting STEP signal as ON to output measurement results.
    One-shot OR signal
    • ON
    • [OFF]
    Selects whether to always maintain the outputs of the OR signal.
    Output time
    1.0 to 1,000.0ms
    [5.0ms]
    Specifies the time needed to output an OR signal.
    Only effective when "Output OR signal as one-shot" is set up. Sets smaller value than the value for the measurement time.
  3. Tap [OK] to confirm the settings.
    The settings are determined and the Parallel window closes.
