5. Communication Setting in FX Programmable Controller
This chapter explains the communication setting method types and setting methods for computer link.
5.1 Communication Setting Methods
This section explains the communication setting methods and setting procedures in FX PLCs.
1. Setting method types
1) Specifying the setting using parameters in the sequence programming software:
Register the setting as parameters by executing communication setting on the personal computer screen
using the sequence programming software, and transfer them to a PLC.
(This method using parameters is not available for FX
2) Specifying the setting by writing data to special data registers:
Create a sequence program specifying the communication format, station number settings and time-out
time setting, and then transfer the sequence program to a PLC.
Caution
A PLC operates in the same way regardless of the selected method shown above. If both methods are
selected, priority is given to the method using parameters.
