Serial Communications Section 6-3
6-3-2 No-protocol Communications
The following table lists the no-protocol communication functions available in
CS/CJ PLCs.
Note A transmission delay or “no-protocol mode delay” can be specified in the PLC
Setup (address 162). This setting causes a delay of up to 30 seconds
between execution of TXD(236) and the transmission of data from the speci-
fied port.
Procedure
Message Frame Formats
Data can be placed between a start code and end code for transmission by
TXD(236) and frames with that same format can be received by RXD(235).
When transmitting with TXD(236), just the data from I/O memory is transmit-
ted, and when receiving with RXD(235), just the data itself is stored in I/O

Set the PLC Setup from a Pro-
gramming Device.
(Settings such as the communica-
tions mode and parameters.)
Programming Console
Set addresses 160 to 163. In particular, set
the communications mode to no-protocol
mode, set the start code, end code, amount of
data, and no-protocol mode delay.
(Refer to CX-Programmer User Manual for
CX-Programmer procedures.)
Power OFF
Connect the CPU Unit and external
device through the RS-232C port
Set the DIP switch on the front of
the CPU Unit.
Turn pin 5 OFF.
