Serial Communications Instructions Section 3-23
If ER signal control is specified in C, bit 15 of S will be used as the ER signal.
If RS and ER signal control is specified in C, bit 15 of S will be used as the RS
signal and bit 14 of S will be used as the ER signal.
If 1, 2, or 3 hex is specified for RS and ER signal control in C, TXD(236) will be
executed regardless of the status of the Send Ready Flag.
An error will occur and the Error Flag will turn ON in the following cases.
• No-protocol mode is not set for the port in the PLC Setup.
• The value of C is not within range.
• The value for N is not between 0000 and 0100 hex.
• A send was attempted when the Send Ready Flag was OFF.
