10.3.8 Troubleshooting when communication error "PRO." generates
Symptom Cause Corrective action MC
Bidirectional
Non
procedure
โข Communications were
performed with a control
procedure different from
the Q series C24
communication protocol
setting.
โข Some of the data are
different from the control
procedure.
โข Designated command
does not exist.
โข The device No.
designation is not the
character count
corresponding to the
command.
โข Check the Q series C24 communication
protocol setting and the message from the
external device and match the settings, or
correct the message and restart data
communications.
โข The characters in the
message include a data
other than the "A to Z",
"0 to 9", "
", and
control data.
โข Check and correct the external device message
and restart data communications.
Note
โข Only the data "0 to 9" and "A to F" can be
handled as character area data during
communications using an MC protocol (ASCII
mode). Therefore, when transmitting a
character string as data, convert the ASCII code
of each character string to 2-byte binary code.
Examples)
โข Transmitting the character "G"
The ASCII code for the character "G" is 47
H
and is transmitted as the two bytes 34
H
, 37
H
.
โข Transmitting the character "A"
The ASCII code for "A" is 41
H
and is
transmitted as the two bytes 34
H
, 31
H
.
If the ASCII code 41
H
for the character "A" is
transmitted unchanged, the Q series C24
ASCII-BIN conversion will convert it to A
H
(10) and pass it to the PLC CPU.
โข A device No. outside the
designated range was
designated.
โข When designating a device, check "Device
setting" of the parameters written to the CPU
and correct it to a device No. within the
designated range and restart data
communications.
โข Communication error
signal "PRO" turned on.
โข A remote RUN/STOP
request was issued
while remote STOP was
applied from another
module.
โข Check if remote STOP is applied from another
module and restart data communications.
