(b) Communication speed/transmission setting (Switch 2: CH1 side, Switch 4: CH2 
side)
Set a speed of communication with the target device, and transmission details. 
1) Transmission setting
 * 1   Set the MODBUS  device assignment parameters before sending request messages to the 
QJ71MB91.
If a request message is sent before the setting, the QJ71MB91 will send a response message 
(error completion). (The slave function does not operate.)
 * 2  Set it to OFF (8 bits) in RTU mode.

The MODBUS  device assignment parameter starting method 
must be set only for Switch 2 regardless of the channel used.
When "Start with the default parameters" is set, the module is 
started with the parameters assigned by default.(  Section 
7.3.1 (3))
When "Start with the user-set parameters" is set, the module is 
started with the MODBUS  device assignment parameters set on 
the sequence program or GX Configurator-MB.(  Section 
7.3.1 (2))
When setting parameters using the GX Configurator-MB, turn the 
MODBUS  device assignment parameter start method ON.

8 7 Set data bits.
b2 Parity bit presence Present Not present
Specify whether parity bit is present or not.
In the case of "Present", vertical parity check is performed.
b3 Even/odd parity Even Odd
Set even or odd parity.
This setting is valid only when "Parity bit presence" is set to 
"Present".
b4 Stop bit 1 2 Set the stop bit.
b5 Frame mode RTU mode ASCII mode
Set the frame mode.(  Section 4.2.1)
b6 Online change Disable Enable
Set whether to enable or disable data writing to the RUN-status 
programmable controller CPU by a request message from the 
master.
If this is set to "Disable", when a message requesting the device 
write is received from the master, the QJ71MB91 returns an error 
response.
This setting is valid only when the slave function is set for the 
channel.
