8.3 Operation of Control Line
4. When the control line is in the interlink mode
*1. On the external equipment side, set the DR (DSR) signal to ON when the external equipment is ready
to receive.
The FX
3U/FX3UC PLC sends the send data when both the DR (DSR) signal and the sending request
turn ON.
*2. In the interlink mode, the PLC sets the ER (DTR) signal to OFF 30 characters before reaching the
specified amount of received data, and asks the external equipment to stop sending. After that, the
PLC can only receive up to 30 characters. In this case, temporarily stop sending, and then send the
remaining data after the ER (DTR) signal turns ON again.
When sending is stopped, the PLC finishes receiving after the time-out time setting is reached.
When sending is not stopped, the PLC finishes receiving after it has received the final send data or 30
characters. Accordingly, make sure that the number of receive characters are "30 + α".
