12-2 12. KEYENCE PLC
Communication Setting
The recommended communication parameter settings of the PLC and the V7 series are as follows:
KZ Series Link
Set the port with the port setting switch, the terminating resistance with terminator, and the baud
rate/data bit/parity/stop bit with SET B DIP switches.
KZ-A500 CPU (CPU Modular Port)
*1 For signal level RS-422, baud rate is fixed to 9600 bps.
MITSUBISHI A Series Link (Link Unit KZ-L10)
Set the port with the port setting switch, the terminating resistance with terminator, and the baud rate/
data bit/parity/stop bit with SET B DIP switches.
For more information, refer to the instruction manual for KZ-L10.
KZ/KV Series CPU
Communication parameters for the V7 series are automatically set.
