Baud rate setting for COM2 port 2400 to 115200 bps
The communication format and baud rate (communication speed) should be set to match the connected
computer.
Note) They are set in different bit positions of the same system register no., so the different settings are
possible for port 1 and port 2.
The baud rates of 300, 600 and 1200 bps can be specified by the SYS1 instruction. However, the
setting value of the system register cannot be changed.
Programming
• For a computer link, a program should be created that allows command messages to be sent and
response messages to be received on the computer side. No communication program is required on
the PLC side. (Specify the communication format only by the system register.)
• Create the program on the PC side using Basic language or C language according to the
MEWTOCOL-COM. Commands to monitor and control the operation of the PLC are provided in the
MEWTOCOL-COM.
