23 RS-422/485 INTERFACE ECHO BACK ENABLE/
PROHIBIT SPECIFICATION
This chapter explains the echo back enable/prohibit specification.
This function can be used for the both interfaces on RJ71C24(-R4).
The echo back function is a function that transmitted data is also sent to RDA or RDB on the host station when data
communication is performed through RS-458 (2-wire type) from RS-422/485 interface.
Whether to receive the returned data or not (discard) can be specified.
Application
• Disabling the echo back will eliminate the processing to ignore unnecessary data, which has been programmed for
nonprocedural protocol communication.
• When the same message format is used for a request (command) and a response of the target device protocol during data
communication using the predefined protocol, disabling the echo back function can enable data communication with the
target device.
Setting method
• Setting by engineering tool
Set "Echo back enable/prohibit specification" to "Echo back enable" or "Echo back prohibit".

• Setting by a program
In the 'RS-422/485 interface echo back enable/prohibit specification' (Un\G290/450), store either of the following values.
(Default: 0)
The setting for the echo back enable/prohibit specification must be configured before sending data. Any setting changed
during transmission does not take effect.
Setting value Description
0: Echo back enable When C24 transmits data, it also receives the transmitted data with its own RDA or RDB.
1: Echo back prohibit When C24 transmits data, it does not receive the transmitted data with its own RDA or RDB. (The data is discarded.)
