10.3 Send Monitoring Time (timer 2) Setting
The send monitoring time (timer 2) is a monitoring time for clearing the wait state of C24 when C24, which is to transmit a
message or response message (result), is placed into the data transmit wait state due to any trouble of the target device side
When C24 transmits a message, it monitors the wait time up to the end of transmission of the message.
When C24 received a message from a target device, it monitors the wait time up to the end of transmission of the response
message.
The following explains the send monitoring time (timer 2) operation.
If on-demand data is transmitted before a response message during data communications using the MC protocol, each time is
monitored.
C24 operation by send monitoring time (timer 2)
When send monitoring time (timer 2) is set to 0 ms
• The time until transmission of a message or response message has been completed is not monitored.
• If C24 cannot transmit, it waits infinitely.
When send monitoring time (timer 2) is set to 100 ms or longer
• C24 monitors the time from completion of message or response message transmission preparations to the end of
transmission, and returns the elapsed time to 0 at the end of transmission.
At time-out, C24 performs the following processing.
■Data communications using MC protocol
• While waiting for the end of transmission of the response message, C24 stores the error code to the 'Data transmission
result' (Un\G599/615) for the target interface.
C24 enters the state in which it waits to receive the next command message without sending a response message (NAK
message) to the target device.
• During on-demand data transmission, C24 stores the error code to the 'On-demand execution results' (Un\G598/614) for
the target interface.
• If transmission was terminated midway in either of the cases above, C24 does not transmit the remaining data.
