Output Format (Serial Data Output)

In the item tab area, tap [Output format].
In the "Output setting" area, select the communication method.
Setting value
[Factory default]
Description
[RS-232C/RS-422]
Communication is performed via a RS-232C/RS-422 connection.
Ethernet
Communication is performed via the Ethernet.

Setting value [Factory default]	Description
[RS-232C/RS-422]	Communication is performed via a RS-232C/RS-422 connection.
Ethernet	Communication is performed via the Ethernet.

In "Format setting", select the output format.

Setting value [Factory default]	Description
[ASCII]	Outputs in the ASCII format. "User's Manual", "Character Code Table"
Binary	Outputs as binary data. Measurement values are multiplied by 1,000 and output is continuous with 4 bytes per each data item.

When the "ASCII" output format is selected:

When "ASCII" is set as the output format, set the following items among the format settings.
When "Binary" is set as the Decimal output form, no setting is needed.

Setting item	Setting value [Factory default]	Description
Digits of integer	1 to [10]	Specify the digits of the integer part including the sign. For positive numbers, the plus sign is not output. Example Setting: 4 digits, Data: -5619 -999 is output.
Digits of decimal	0 to [4]	Specify the number of output digits in the decimal part. When 0 is selected, the decimal digits will be rounded off.
Minus	[-] 8	Select what is displayed in the sign column for a negative number.
0 suppress	ON [OFF]	Select the method for adjusting when there is a blank to the left of the output data. ON: Insert 0 into the blank digit space. OFF: Insert a space in the location with no character. Example Digits of integer: 5 places, Digits of decimal: 3 places. When data is 100.000 ON: 00100.000 OFF: _100.000 (_ represents a space)
Field separator	OFF [Comma] Tab Space Delimiter	Select the separator for output data. *The delimiter is obtained from the system.
Record separator	OFF Comma Tab Space [Delimiter]	Select the separator each time data is output. *The delimiter is obtained from the system.

If you have selected "Ethernet" for "Communication method", perform Ethernet settings.

Important

About output when Ethernet is set as the output destination

Output format: ASCII
1 packet is output for each 1 unit of serial data output.
When multiple units of serial data are output, that many packets are output.
Output format: binary
1 packet is output for each 1 data item of serial data output.
Set an appropriate offset value according to the maximum value of write address for the PLC. If a value exceeding the maximum value permitted by the PLC is set, an error occurs. (FZ3-9/H9 only)
