1. COMMUNICATION FUNCTIONS 1.1 General VT26/30 series provides a communication function by RS-485 interface, by which it can transmit and receive data to and from host computer, programmable controller, graphic display panel, etc. The communication system consists of master station and slave stations. Up to 255slave station can be connected per master station.
3. CONNECTION △ WARNING For avoiding electric shock and malfunctions, don’t turn on the power supply until all wiring has been completed. 3.1 Terminal Allocation VT-9626 / VT-9630 Terminal number Signal name VT-9426 Terminal number Signal name VT-4926 / VT-4930 Terminal number Signal name VT-7226 / VT-7230...
4. SETTING OF COMMUNICATION CONDITION In order that the master station and VT26/30 series can correctly communicate, following settings are required. All communication condition settings of the master station are the same as those of VT26/30 series. All VT26/30 series connected on a line are set to address (ADDR), which are different from each other.

MODBUS COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL 5.1 General The communication system by the MODBUS protocol is that the communication is always started from the master station and a slave station responds to the received...
response, it places its own address in this address field of the response to let the master know which slave is responding. Address 0 is used for the broadcast address, which all slave stations recognize. When the broadcast address (address 0) is applied on the command message, no any response message will be sent from the slave stations.
Illegal data value A value contained in the data field is not an allowable value for the slave. 5.4 Function Code The listing below shows the function codes supported by VT20 series controllers. Function code Code Function Object Read-out Holding Register Read-out Input Register Write-in...

For ensuring the safety, make a confirmation of the response message and make an arrangement so as to provide 3 or more retries in case of no response, error occurrence, etc. Note: The above definition is for most unfavorable value. For ensuring the safety, it’s recommended the program of the master to work with safety factors of 2 to 3.
