
If a data error is detected and a retry must be made, execute retry operation with the user program. The drive unit comes to trip if the number of consecutive
retries exceeds the parameter setting.

On receipt of a data error occurrence, the drive unit returns retry data 3) to the computer again. The drive unit comes to trip if the number of consecutive data
errors reaches or exceeds the parameter setting.

 Data communication between the computer and
drive unit is made in the following procedure.
1) Request data is sent from the computer to
the drive unit. (The drive unit will not send
Time
data unless requested.)
2) After waiting for the waiting time
3) The drive unit sends reply data to the
computer in response to the computer
request.
4) After
processing time
5) Answer from the computer in response to
reply data 3) of the drive unit is transmitted.
(Even
communication is made properly.)
