Page 49: Checking The As311 Operation Status
It means that the AS311 is operating normally when R0100 is ON. If R050E (Error) is ON, the AS311 is in error state. In that case, the error code is stored in the lower 8 bits of RW050. For the error code, refer to section 6.2.1. -
Page 50: Resetting The As311 By Software
AS311 can be reset by T3 program. Two types of resetting are available, cold reset and hot reset. The cold reset is used to reset the AS311 error state. When the cold reset is executed, the AS311 will be initialized. The trailing code and the time-out check time are also reset to the default settings. -
Page 51: Setting The Trailing Code
In this sample program, the trailing code changing routine will be executed once when the AS311 status is changed to ready (R0100 comes ON - refer to section 5.4), and the channel 1 trailing code will be changed to H03. -

T3 program. The valid setting range is 0.1 to 60.0 seconds in 0.1 second units. Refer to section 4.2.3. To change the time-out check time, write desired value into the AS311’s buffer memory address 25 (CH1 time-out check) and/or address 89 (CH2 time-out check), and execute the hot reset (refer to section 5.5). -
