C.7 Communications Timing
To prevent overrun in the slave drive, the master should wait a certain time between sending messages to the same drive. In
the same way, the slave drive must wait before sending response messages to prevent an overrun in the master. This section
explains the message timing.

Command Messages from Master to Drive

In order to prevent overrun and data loss, the master must wait between receiving a response and sending the same type of
command as before to the same slave drive. The minimum wait time depends on the command as shown in the table below.
Command Type
1
2
3
<1> If the drive receives command type 1 data during the minimum wait time, it will perform the command and then respond. However, if it receives
a command type 2 or 3 during that time, either a communication error will result or the command will be ignored.
A timer should be set in the master to check how long it takes for the slave drive(s) to respond to the master. If no response
is received within a certain amount of time, the master should try resending the message.

Response Messages from Drive to Master

If the drive receives a command from the master, it will process the data received and wait for the time set in H5-06 until it
responds. Increase H5-06 if the drive response causes overrun in the master.
