2 Methods for Connecting and Communicating with External Devices
2-6-4
Communications Specifications Settings
Set the communications specifications, such as the data output method and data signal operation.
If communications cannot be performed even after setting these communications settings, check the
settings and the communications status.
For details, refer to 2-6-7 Testing Communications on page 2 - 378.
Precautions for Correct Use
• Before you set the communication specifications, select the Communication Module to use
with the Sensor Controller in the startup settings.
For details, refer to 2-6-3 Communications Module Settings (Startup Settings) on page
2 - 357.
• After you selected the Communication Module, save the settings to the Sensor Controller and
restart it.
If you do not restart the Sensor Controller, the selected Communication Module will not be
enabled.
Additional Information
Input signals cannot be handled during setting of communications specifications. However, the
input status can be checked with Confirmation.
For details, refer to 2-6-7 Testing Communications on page 2 - 378.
Selecting the Output Control Type
You can select how to control the data output timing to synchronize the timing of output with the exter-
nal device.
l Types of Output Control
• None
After measurement was completed, the Sensor Controller outputs the measurement results with-
out synchronizing with the external device.
Since the GATE signal is also output with it, adjust the reading timing for the output results in the
external device based on the GATE signal.
External device
*1 : Overall judgment (OR) output is output when the measurement is completed, regardless of when
the Output Unit was executed.
*2 : You can change the settings for time to be turned ON the GATE signal after the measurement
data was output and the duration that the GATE signal remains ON.
For details, refer to Communications Specifications Settings on page 2 - 363.
