7-4 VS Series PLC Communication Protocol
A. The relevant communication parameters
Bits-per-character: 8 bits
Parity check: None
Stop bit: 1 bit
Baud rate: 300/600/1200/2400/4800/9600/19200/34800/57600/115200 bps. selectable (default: 19200 bps.)
Syntax of a communication character
This communication protocol adopted the mixed method of ASCII and the HEX code to transmit data. This protocol
adopts a few ASCII codes, the conversion table below shows those characters and the corresponding ASCII codes.
Character Character Character
Communication station number:
The available station number is between 0~254 (default: 0). If the communication command uses the station
number 255, that is a broadcast command.
Error code: When data string is feedback from a PLC, will include with an error code. The table lists the meaning of
every error code.
