DOC1003626 Chapter 4 Communication alarm function Communication alarm function Monitors whether the serial communication is sent/received properly between this product and the customer’s equipment. This feature is only valid when the operation mode is set to SERIAL mode. Abnormal signals or disconnection of the communication cable can be notified immediately by setting the alarm function to match the interval at which messages are sent from the customer's equipment.
DOC1003626 Chapter 4 Communication alarm function 4.2 Communication alarm reset When AL34 communication error has been generated, the alarm is automatically reset when the disconnection of the communication cable is fixed, and the message from the customer is received. If operation is set to stop when a communication alarm occurs, restart the operation if necessary.
