8.3 Checking Communication Status Based on LED Indication
Check the status of the "RXD (RD)" and "TXD (SD)" indicator LEDs provided in the optional equipment
When the power is turned ON, the FX PLC transfers the AT command to the connected modem. At this time,
the "RXD (RD)" and "TXD (SD)" indicator LEDs in the communication equipment light instantaneously.
If modem initialization is not set in parameters in the FX PLC, however, these LEDs do not light.
If the wiring and/or modem specifications are different, these LEDs flash several times, but the FX PLC does
not transfer the AT command.
8.4 Checking Installation
1. Mounting status
If the communication equipment is not securely connected to the PLC, communication is not possible.
→ For the mounting method, refer to the respective communication equipment manual.
