COMMUNICATION INSTRUCTION MANUAL
This manual contains instructions for communication functions of the ACS-13A.
Serial communication and Console communication cannot be used together.
When performing Serial communication, remove the exclusive cable (CMA) from the USB port of the PC and
loader connector of the ACS-13A.
When performing Console communication, it is not required to remove the Serial communication cables.
However, do not send a command from the master side.

Shield wire
Connect only one end of the shield to the FG to avoid a ground loop. If both ends of the shield wire are
connected to the FG, the circuit will be closed, resulting in a ground loop. This may cause noise.
Be sure to ground the FG.
Recommended cable: OTSC-VB 2PX0.5SQ (made by Onamba Co., Ltd.) or equivalent (use a twisted pair
Terminator (Terminal resistor)
Communication converter IF-400 (sold separately) has a built-in terminator.
The terminator is mounted at the end of the wire when connecting multiple peripheral devices to a personal
computer. The terminator prevents signal reflection and disturbance.
Do not connect the terminator to the communication line because each ACS-13A has built-in pull-up and
pull-down resistors.

Summary of Contents for Shinko ACS-13A

  • Page 1 The terminator is mounted at the end of the wire when connecting multiple peripheral devices to a personal computer. The terminator prevents signal reflection and disturbance. Do not connect the terminator to the communication line because each ACS-13A has built-in pull-up and pull-down resistors.
  • Page 2 : 1 bit (Factory default) : 2 bits 4. Communication Procedure Communication starts with command transmission from the host computer (hereafter Master) and ends with the response of the ACS-13A (hereafter Slave). • Response with data Master Slave When the master sends the reading command, the slave Command responds with the corresponding set value or current status.
  • Page 3 5. Shinko Protocol 5.1 Transmission Mode Shinko protocol is composed of ASCII codes. Hexadecimal (0 to 9, A to F), which is divided into high order (4-bit) and low order (4-bit) out of 8-bit binary data in command is transmitted as ASCII characters.
  • Page 4 Instrument number (Address): Numbers by which the master discerns each slave. Instrument numbers 0 to 94 and Global address 95. ASCII codes (20H to 7FH) are used by adding 20H to instrument numbers 0 to 95(00H to 5FH). 95 (7FH) is called Global address, which is used when the same command is sent to all the slaves connected.

  • Page 6 To transmit continuously, an interval between characters which consist of one message, must be within 3.5-character transmission times. If an interval lasts longer than 3.5-character transmission times, the ACS-13A assumes that transmission from the master is finished, which results in a communication error, and will not return a response.
  • Page 7 How to calculate LRC Create a message in RTU mode. Add all the values from the slave address to the end of data. This is assumed as X. Make a complement for X (bit reverse). This is assumed as X. Add a value of 1 to X.

  • Page 9 • When connecting multiple slaves, the address (instrument number) must not be duplicated. • MODBUS protocol uses Holding Register addresses. The Holding Register addresses are created as follows. A Shinko command data item is converted to decimal number, and the offset of 40001 is added. The result is the Holding Register address.

  • Page 13 How to speed up the scan time When monitoring multiple units of ACS-13A, set the program so that requisite minimum pieces of data such as Data item 0080H (PV), Data item 0081H (OUT1 MV), Data item 0085H (Status flag), can be read. For other data, set the program so that they can be read only when their set value has changed.
  • Page 14 For SV digital transmission, connect YA(-) to YA(-), YB(+) to YB(+), SG to SG terminals respectively in the same way as the Serial communication (RS-485). Up to 31 units of the ACS-13A can be connected. The following shows a connection example of PCB1 and ACS-13A units.
