  • Page 18: Data Carrier Motion And Command Conditions

    Data Carrier Motion and Command Conditions 3-1-1 Communications Control Procedure OMRON’s unique host communications control procedure enables the ID Con- troller to communicate with a general-purpose PC via the PC’s I/O Unit. • The ID Controller has access to the PC via a total of 32 points (i.e., 21 input and 11 output points of the ID Controller are used).
  • Page 19: Data Carrier Motion And Command Conditions

    Data Carrier Motion and Command Conditions Section 3-1-2 Read and Write Functions Command Processing The read/write functions are used for communications when the DC is station- ary. Thus, before using these commands, it is necessary to check that the DC is at a specific position.
  • Page 20: Automatic Read/Write Function

    Data Carrier Motion and Command Conditions Section 3-1-3 Automatic Read/Write Function Command Processing Under the automatic commands, the ID Controller does not return a response until the DC comes close to the specified R/W Head. This means that the com- munications path to the PC remains in the busy condition until the response is returned, and the IBM PC/AT or compatible cannot send commands specifying the other R/W Head of the same ID Controller.
  • Page 21: Simultaneous Processing Of Commands

    Data Carrier Motion and Command Conditions Section 3-1-4 Simultaneous Processing of Commands The ID Controller can have two R/W Heads connected to it, and communications can be conducted with them independently. (DC) (ID Controller) (DC) Busy Auto read Not close condition (Head 1) (Head 1)
  • Page 22: Data Carrier Memory Map

    Data Carrier Memory Map Section 3-1-5 Command Processing in Busy Condition The ID Controller accepts commands from the PC and remains in the busy condition from that time until a DC approaches (until it can execute a command). If a new command is sent to the ID Controller for the same Head while the ID Controller is in the busy condition, the new command replaces the old command which becomes invalid.

    Communications Methods Section 3-2-5 EEPROM Batteryless Data Carrier Check Unlike the V600-CA1A-Vj or V600-CA2A-Vj Serial Interface ID Controller, the MDL command (which manages the number of overwriting operations) cannot be used with the DC that incorporates EEPROM (batteryless-type DC). To keep a record of the number of overwriting operations on the Parallel Interface ID Controller, the user should use the write or auto write command to increase the number of overwriting operations.

    Command/Response Format Section 3. When a communications error is recognized, communications are turned off. Note 1. A page that the ID Controller has access to must be set with DIP switch 1 of the ID Controller. The setting will be effective when the power is turned on. Any setting altered with DIP switch 1 after the power is turned on will not be effective.
