The Automatic 
communication error 
status (X7/XF) turned on.
Check if the timer settings in the automatic 
communication parameters are 
appropriate.
• Check the processing time of the target 
device.
• Check if, because of a small request 
interval timer value, another request is 
transmitted before receiving a response 
from the target device.
• Check if, because of a small response 
monitoring timer value, the timer has 
timed out with an error before the target 
device returns a response.
For the error, set a larger response 
monitoring timer value.
• Check if the next request was sent 
before completion of the processing of 
the target device because of a small 
broadcast delay value. 
For the error, set a larger broadcast 
delay value.
Section 7.2.1
Were the automatic communication 
function and the MBRW or MBREQ 
instruction used on the same channel?
Set automatic communication parameters 
and create a sequence program 
appropriately so that each of the MBRW 
and MBREQ instructions can be executed 
in the right timing.

Is the MODBUS  device assignment 
parameter setting completed?
Set the MODBUS  device assignment 
parameters by GX Configurator-MB.
Or, set the MODBUS  device 
assignment parameters by a sequence 
program.
