SERIAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL 
5.2.5  Serial communication timeout setting 
If  the  signal  to  the  input  operation  port  of  the  STP  pump  is  interrupted  for  a  certain  period  during 
acceleration or normal operation, the STP pump detects a failure and stops. The time setting of the 
failure detection is user definable. When setting the value to 0, the function is disabled. This value will 
be common to all serial ports, and the factory setting is 1 minute. 
The  setting  value  can  be  changed  via  serial  communication  (see  5.4.17),  the  STP-Link  (optional 
accessory) or the display unit iDT-001 (optional accessory).   
Design  the  user  application  so  that  the  PC  can  communicate  with  the  STP  pump  at  fixed  regular 
intervals within the setting time, except when the function is disabled (the value is 0). 
  Default  Setting Range  Remark

The function is disabled when the 
value is set to 0. 
Table 19 - Serial communication time out setting 
Note:  When the communication time out is disabled, the STP pump may not stop when the serial 
communication does not function normally due to a breakage of the communication cable. In 
this case, interrupt the power supply for 2 seconds or more to stop the STP pump by power 
failure  detection.  Supply  the  power  to  the  STP  pump  immediately  after  power  failure 
detection.
