Response message
Request data length and response data length
For the request data length, specify the data length from the monitoring timer to the request data.
For the response data length, the data length from an end code to a response data (at normal completion) or an error
information (at abnormal completion) is stored.
Setting method
Specify the data length in hexadecimal. (Unit: byte)
■Data communication in ASCII code
Convert the numerical value to 4-digit ASCII code (hexadecimal), and send it from the upper digits.
■Data communication in binary code
Send 2-byte numerical value from the lower byte (L: bits 0 to 7).
The data length is 24 bytes
Monitoring timer
Set the wait time up to the completion of reading and writing processing.
Set the wait time from when E71 on the connection station requests processing to the access target to when the response is
returned.
• 0000H (0): Wait infinitely (Waits until a processing is completed.)
• 0001H to FFFFH (1 to 65535): Waiting time (unit: 250 ms)
To perform normal data communication, using the timer within the setting range in the table below is recommended depending
on the communication destination.
