Page 86 5: U OMMUNICATION NSTRUCTIONS RXD (Receive) When input is on, data from an RS232C/RS485 remote terminal received by port 1 through port 3 is converted and stored in data registers according to the receive ***** ***** ***** format assigned by S1. Valid Devices Device Function...
Page 87 5: U OMMUNICATION NSTRUCTIONS Receive Format Receive format, designated by source device S1, specifies data registers to store received data, data digits for storing data, data conversion type, and repeat cycles. A start delimiter and an end delimiter can be included in the receive format to discriminate valid incoming communication.
Page 88 5: U OMMUNICATION NSTRUCTIONS Receive Digits The received data is divided into blocks of specified receive digits before conversion as described below: Example: Received data of 6 bytes are divided in different receive digits. (Repeat is also designated.) (1) Receive digits = 2 (2) Receive digits = 3 “1”...
Page 89 5: U OMMUNICATION NSTRUCTIONS Delimiter A delimiter for the data register in the receive format can be assigned. Using a delimiter, incoming data of variable length can be received and stored to data registers. Delimiter How the incoming data is stored to data registers The incoming data is stored to data registers until all the data specified with receive digits, conversion type, and repeat Designated is processed or the specified delimiter is received.
Page 90 5: U OMMUNICATION NSTRUCTIONS Multi-byte Start Delimiter A start delimiter can be programmed at the first bytes in the receive format of a RXD instruction; the FC6A Series MicroSmart will recognize the beginning of valid communication, although a RXD instruction without a start delimiter can also be executed. A maximum of 5 consecutive constants that are either character or hexadecimal from the first byte of the receive format are considered a multi-byte start delimiter.
Page 91 5: U OMMUNICATION NSTRUCTIONS Note: If you execute two or more RXD instructions with multi-byte start delimiters simultaneously, the start delimiters of those RXD instructions must be unique from the others. When the length of the multi-byte start delimiters of the RXD instructions is different, the length of the shortest one is applied to check the duplicated start delimiters.
Page 92 5: U OMMUNICATION NSTRUCTIONS Multi-byte start delimiter • First two bytes can be configured as a multi-byte start delimiter. The incoming data is processed according to the receive format only when the first two bytes of the incoming data match the start delimiter. Therefore, only the incoming data sent to slave station 1 is processed.

Page 95 5: U OMMUNICATION NSTRUCTIONS BCC (Block Check Character) The FC6A Series MicroSmart has an automatic BCC calculation function to detect a communication error in incoming data. If a BCC code is designated in the receive format of a RXD instruction, the FC6A Series MicroSmart calculates a BCC value for a specified starting position through the position immediately preceding the BBC.
Page 96 5: U OMMUNICATION NSTRUCTIONS Conversion Type The BCC calculation result can be converted or not according to the assigned conversion type as described below: Example: BCC calculation result is 0041h. (1) Binary to ASCII conversion “4” “1” Note: On WindLDR, Modbus ASCII defaults to binary 0041h D0010: (34h)
Page 97 5: U OMMUNICATION NSTRUCTIONS D1 (Destination 1) Set an internal relay or an output for the receive completion output. When the start input for a RXD instruction is turned on, preparation for receiving data is initiated, followed by data conversion and storage.
Page 98 5: U OMMUNICATION NSTRUCTIONS User Communication Receive Instruction Cancel Flag If user communication receive instruction cancel is turned on when the receive pre-processing for the user communication receive instruction has already been completed and data is being received (status code 32), all receive instructions for the corresponding port will be canceled.

Page 161 7: D OMMUNICATION Data Register Allocation for Transmit/Receive Data The master station has 12 data registers assigned for data communication with each slave station. Each slave station has 12 data registers assigned for data communication with the master station. When data is set in data registers at the master station assigned for data link communication, the data is sent to the corresponding data registers at a slave station.
Page 162 7: D OMMUNICATION Special Data Registers for Data Link Communication Error In addition to data registers assigned for data communication, the master station has 31 special data registers and each slave station has one special data register to store data link communication error codes. If any communication error occurs in the data link system, communication error codes are set to a corresponding data register for link communication error at the master station and to data register D8069 at the slave station.
