before WRITE DATA to enable identifying whether the data that was written
has been transferred correctly.
The PCU's Common Parameters and Axis Parameters are read to the CPU
Unit using the READ DATA Bit in the Common Operating Memory Area. The
data to be transferred is set by specifying the number of transfer words, trans-
fer source, and transfer destination in the Common Operating Memory Area.
Multiple parameters can also be transferred all at once.
(1) Read data from the PCU when the Data Transferring Flag is OFF. READ
DATA cannot be executed from the PCU while the Unit Busy Flag is ON
(PCU initializing or reading/writing Memory Card backup data).
(2) If READ DATA is executed while data is being transferred, a Multistart Er-
ror (Unit error code: 0021) will occur and data will not be read from the
PCU.
Data reading starts when the READ DATA Bit in the Common Operating Mem-
ory Area turns ON. When reading data from the PCU, make sure that the
READ DATA Bit remains ON until the Data Transferring Flag turns ON.
Up to 600 words can be transferred during a single data reading operation.
The maximum amount of data that can be transferred during a single CPU
Unit cycle, however, is 20 words. When reading more than 20 words of data,
the data is divided and read over multiple cycles. When reading data from the
PCU is completed, the Data Transferring Flag turns OFF.
