3. Instruction Set 
3-267 
Special 
register 
Function 
the data will be stored in D1256~D1295. Users can check the sent data in 
these registers. 
Supported communication instruction: MO
DRW 
D1296~D1311 
For COM2 RS-485 MODRW instruction. D1296~D1311 store the 
converted hex data from D1070 ~ D1085 (ASCII). PLC automatically 
converts the received ASCII data in D1070 ~ D1085 into hex data.   
Supported communication instruction: MO

3.  PLC COM3 RS-485: Associated flags (Auxiliary relays) and special registers (Special D) for 
communication instructions RS / MODRW and FWD / REV / STOP / RDST / RSTEF when 
M1177 = ON. 
Flag  Function    Action 
M1136 
COM3 retain communication settings. Communication settings will 
be reset (changed) according to the content in D1109 after every 
scan cycle. Users can set ON M1136 if the communication protocol 
requires to be retained. When M1136 = ON, communication settings 
will not be reset (changed) when communication instructions are 
being processed, even if the content in D1109 is changed

M1320 
COM3 ASCII / RTU mode selection. ON : RTU mode, OFF: ASCII 
mode.   
M1316 
COM3 sending request. Before executing communication 
instructions, users need to set M1316 to ON by trigger pulse, so that 
the data sending and receiving will be started. When the 
communication is completed, PLC will reset M1316 automatically.
