Note 1: For details of the function mode, refer to “3-2 System configuration.”
Note 2: For the self-diagnosis, refer to “3-4 Self-diagnosis.”
Note 3: “Programming loader” is the mode for connecting to D300win. Communication specifications are fixed to” 38400

bps” for transmission speed, “8 bits” for data length, “1 bit” for stop bits, and “even” for parity.

Note 4: “Modem-loader" is the mode that is basically used to connect to D300win loader via a modem. In general, for

modems, “none” is specified for parity. Therefore, in this mode, communication specifications become “8 bits” for
data length, “1 bit” for stop bits, and “none” for parity.

Note 5: Either channel is selected and used.

3-4 Self-diagnosis

3-4-1 Self-diagnosis mode 1

Setting the mode selection switch of the module to “7” activates Self-diagnosis Mode “1.”
This mode is used to check the internal memory and the lighting condition of LEDs.

<Diagnosis flow>

Start Set the mode selection switch to “7.”

Check the internal
memory of general
purpose communication
module.

Self-diagnosis

Normal?

Yes
Repeat Self-diagnosis
Mode operations when
there is no change in the
status of the mode
selection switch.

1) Internal memory check

After the completion of LED lighting check, automatically returns to the diagnosis of the internal memory of general
purpose communication module.
If an internal memory error is detected, “TS1” blinks.

2) LED lighting check

Of the external LEDs of the module, the lighting condition of those operated by the general purpose communication
module are checked. When the mode selection switch is set to “7,” “TS1,” “TS2,” “RS-485 ALM” and “RS-232C ALM” LEDs
light up in this order.

<Normal lighting condition of LEDs>

TS1

TS2

Self-diagnosis

3-4 Self-diagnosis

3-4-2 Self-diagnosis mode 2

This mode is used to check the completeness of communications by looping back sent data and control signals via the
communication port.

(1) RS to CS signal check

In this check, the general purpose communication module turns RS signal ON to check whether CS signal is looped back
and turns ON, and then checks that this signal turns OFF.
When normal, “TS2” lights up; proceeds to step (2).
If abnormal, “TS2” blinks (at 0.5-second intervals) after 5 seconds; proceeds to step (2).

(2) ER to DR signal check

In this check, the general purpose communication module turns ER signal ON to check whether DR signal is looped back
and turns ON, and then checks that this signal turns OFF.
When normal, “TS1” lights up; proceeds to step (3).
If abnormal, “TS1” blinks (at 0.5-second intervals) after 5 seconds; proceeds to step (3).

(3) RS-232C/RS-485 data check

The general purpose communication modules sends 16 bytes of data once and checks the looped back data received.
If both ports are normal, “RS-232C ALM” and “RS-485 ALM” light up; proceeds to step (4).
If RS-485 is abnormal, “RS-232C ALM” lights up after 10 seconds and “RS-485 ALM” blinks (at 0.5-second intervals);
proceeds to step (4).
If RS-232C is abnormal, “RS-232C ALM” blinks (at 0.5-second intervals) after 10 seconds and “RS-485 ALM” lights up (at

0.5-second intervals); proceeds to step (4).
If both ports are abnormal, “RS-232C ALM” and “RS-485 ALM” blinks (at 0.5-second intervals); proceeds to step (4).

(4) Preservation of the result of the check

After 10 seconds of displaying the results from (3) above, the module returns to step (1). Here, if the setting of the mode
selection switch has been changed, Self-diagnosis Mode 2 is ended to enter the designated mode.

Note 1: When an RS-232C dedicated module (NP1L-RS2) is used, “RS-485 ALM” is kept turned off. When an RS-485

dedicated module (NP1L-RS4) is used, “RS-232C ALM,” “TS1” and “TS2” are kept turned off.

Note 2: When judged as “normal,” the next operation is started without any waiting time. Therefore, after all LEDs have

turned off at the start of diagnosis, the corresponding LED lights up instantaneously.

4-1 General

The non-procedural FB supplied with the D300wind is used for communication between the NP1L-RS1/2/4 and external
devices. The non-procedural FB performs data communication between the CPU module and external devices based on
the start-stop synchronous transmission protocol.
The following seven types of non-procedural FBs are offered.

System configuration:

One FB is necessary for each external device which is connected by RS-232C or RS-485 to one general purpose
communication module. However, when RS-232C/RS-485 signal conversion is enabled (the mode selection switch is set
to 4) for the general purpose communication module, each FB is used by two channels.

4-3-2 Initialization procedure

When the OPEN terminal of FB is turned ON, communication parameters are transferred to the general purpose
communication module, which executes processing for initialization. If initialization is impossible due to a communication
parameter setting error or hardware error, FB outputs the corresponding error code (word type) to the OPEN Status
(O_STS).

extended communication FB. It is not necessary to call it on the code worksheet and use it.
(4) FBs in the project registered in the library can be selected from the [Function/Function Block] dialog box. In this case,

child FBs (FBs which start with “C” like _CBCCII, etc.) used inside _C_free or other extended communication FBs are
also displayed. However, use only parent FBs (_C_free, etc.) on the code worksheet.

5-5

5-4 Pasting Non-procedural FB

The following procedure pastes non-procedural FB “_C_free” on the LADDER code worksheet.

<Pasting procedure>

1) Open the code work sheet on which you want to paste “_C_free.”

Code work sheet

Double-click this
item with the left
button.

2) Select non-procedural FB “_C_free”.

Left-click the desired point on the
code work sheet to determine the
pasting position.

Left-click this button.

Set the necessary items
in the dialog box.

5-6

Communication Parameters

5-5 Communication Parameters Setting

Setting

Parameter values are assigned to the variables (INT type array data) which are connected to the communication
parameter terminal “PARA” of non-procedural FB. In this paragraph, how to do this using ST language is described.

<Sample variable declaration>

Because it is used by the POU on which an expansion FB is pasted, communication parameter variable "PARA" must be

global. Therefore, it is necessary to make a variable

Local variable declaration

VAR_EXTERNAL
PARA : _C_PAR_TYP11 ;
PSET : BOOL ;
END_VAR

Global variable declaration

VAR_GLOBAL
PARA : _C_PAR_TYP11 ;
PSET : BOOL := TRUE ;
SDAT : _C_SND_TYP11 ;
SSET : BOOL := TRUE ;
END_VAR

declaration in 2 locations, as below:

Data type "_C_PAR_TYP11" is
automatically declared when non-procedural
FB is pasted.

Setting operation flag

Used by the POU for writing send data

<Sample setting program>

This sample program assigns necessary communication parameter values to INT type array data "PARA."
When no setting changes are required, setting is made during the first scan. It is not necessary for each scan.

IF PSET THEN
PARA[0] := INT#1 ; (*SX station No.*)
PARA[1] := INT#0 ; (*SX station No.*)
PARA[2] := INT#50 ; (*Message port No.*)
PARA[4] := INT#3 ; (*Transmission speed: 9600 bps*)
PARA[5] := INT#1 ; (*8 bits*)
PARA[6] := INT#1 ; (*Even parity*)
PARA[7] := INT#1 ; (*Stop bit: 1*)
PARA[8] := INT#0 ; (*DTE designation*)
PARA[9] := INT#1 ; (*Signal control*)
PARA[10] := INT#0 ; (*Signal flow control: None*)
PARA[11] := INT#1 ; (*XON/XOFF control: None*)
PARA[16] := INT#0 ; (*Code conversion: None*)
PARA[17] := INT#1 ; (*Frame detection variable length*)
PARA[18] := INT#0 ; (*Received bytes: Variable length*)
PARA[19] := INT#1 ; (*Number of starting code bytes: 1*)
PARA[20] := INT#2 ; (*Starting code: STX*)
PARA[25] := INT#1 ; (*Number of end code bytes: 1*)
PARA[26] := INT#2 ; (*End code: ETX*)
PARA[31] := INT#1 ; (*BCC: none*)
PARA[34] := INT#1 ; (*Code type: ASCII*)
PARA[35] := INT#1000 ;(*Send timer: 10 s*)
PSET := FALSE ;
END_IF

Starting and end codes are also set by INT type.
For example, when you want to set ":" for starting
code, it is described by "INT 16#003A" or
"INT #58" because the code for ":" is "3A."

After all necessary parameters are set, the processing for
the above setting will not be executed from the next scan
when the flag is set to "FALSE."

5-7

5-6 Writing the Send Data

Send data is written in the variables (WORD type array data) which are connected to send data terminal “S_DAT.” When
the volume of send data is small, the send data writing program is created on the same work sheet as that for expansion
FB; when the volume is large, it is better to create the program on separate work sheet or POU. This paragraph describes
how to create a send data writing program on a POU other than that including the non-procedural FB.

<Sample variable declaration>

Because it is used by the POU on which an expansion FB is pasted, the send data variable "SDAT" must be global.
Therefore, it is necessary to make variable declaration at 2 locations, as below:

Local variable declaration

Writing the Send Data

VAR_EXTERNAL
SDAT : _C_SND_TYP11;
SSET : BOOL ;
END_VAR

Global variable declaration

VAR_GLOBAL
PARA : _C_PAR_TYP11;
PSET : BOOL := TRUE ;
SDAT : _C_SND_TYP11 ;
SSET : BOOL := TRUE ;
END_VAR

<Sample setting program>

To set a desired value for WORD type array data "SDAT"

IF SSET THEN
SDAT[0] := WORD#16#0000 ;
SDAT[1] := WORD#16#0001 ;
SDAT[2] := WORD#16#0002 ;
SDAT[3] := WORD#16#0003 ;
SDAT[4] := WORD#16#0004 ;
SDAT[5] := WORD#16#0005 ;
SDAT[6] := WORD#16#0006 ;
SDAT[7] := WORD#16#0007 ;
SDAT[8] := WORD#16#0008 ;
SSET := FALSE ;
END_IF

Data type "_C_SND_TYP11" is
automatically declared when non-procedural
FB is pasted.

Setting operation flag

Used by the POU for setting parameter values

After all necessary values are set, the processing for
the above setting will not be executed from the next
scan when the flag is set to "FALSE."

5-7-1 Connecting variable to “PARA” terminal

The variable which was assigned data in “5-5 Communication Parameter Setting” is connected to communication
parameter terminal “PARA.”

PARA

Because data was assigned to array data type variable “PARA” in “5-5 Communication Parameter
Setting”, connection is made only by writing variable name “PARA” at the terminal.

PARA

5-7-2 Operation for starting FB

After all necessary communication parameters are set, initialization will start when the input terminal “OPEN” is turned ON.
When initialization ends, the output terminal “OK” turns ON, and communication becomes possible.

FB starting conditions

PSET

PSET is a flag which is programmed to turn
OFF when parameter setting ends. Refer to
“<Sample setting program>” in 5-5.

Note: When data sending is completed, send end flag “S_END” turns ON only for one scan. In case of sending error,

send error flag “S_ERR” turns ON only for one scan.
As the content of sending error is stored in send status “S_STS,” judge the occurred error according to the S_STS
data stored when S_ERR has turned ON.

5-7-4 Data receiving operation

When communication ready terminal “OK” is turned ON, non-procedural FB continuously checks whether there is any data
to be received and, when it exists, executes operations for data receiving. When the delimiter between received data
frames is detected, R_END (receive end) turns ON for one scan, and receive data and receive status are stored in R_DAT
and R_STS, respectively.
In case of receiveing error, R_ERR (receive error) also turns ON for one scan.

Appendix 3-4 Self-diagnosis

(Related page: p3-10 to p3-11)

Appendix 3-4-1 Self-diagnosis mode 1

Function of self-diagnosis is same as NP1L-RS1/2/4. However, LED name is different.

(1) LED lighting check

Of the external LEDs of the module, the lighting condition of those operated by general purpose communication module
are checked. When the mode selection switch is set to “7,” “TS1,” “TS2,” “CH2 ALM” and “CH1 ALM” LEDs light up in this
order.

Appendix 3-4-2 Self-diagnosis mode 2

(1) RS to CS signal check

In this check, the general purpose communication module turns RS signal ON to check whether CS signal is looped back
and turns ON, and then checks that this signal turns OFF.

When both CH1 and CH2 are normal, “TS2” lights up; proceeds to step (2).
IF CH1 and/or CH2 is abnormal, “TS2” blinks (at 0.5-second intervals) after 5 seconds ; proceeds to step (2).

If CH1 is abnormal, “ERR” lights up while “TS2” blinks.
If CH2 is abnormal, “CH2 ALM” lights up while “TS2” blinks.

(2) ER to DR signal check

In this check, the general purpose communication module turns ER signal ON to check whether DR signal is looped back
and turns ON, and then checks that this signal turns OFF.

When both CH1 and CH2 are normal, “TS1” lights up; proceeds to step (3).
IF CH1 and/or CH2 is abnormal, “TS1” blinks (at 0.5-second intervals) after 5 seconds ; proceeds to step (3).

If CH1 is abnormal, “ERR” lights up while “TS1” blinks.
If CH2 is abnormal, “CH2 ALM” lights up while “TS1” blinks.

(3) RS-232C data check

The general purpose communication modules sends 16 bytes of data once and checks the looped back data received.

When both CH1 and CH2 are normal, “CH1 ALM” lights up; proceeds to step (4).
IF CH1 and/or CH2 is abnormal, “CH1 ALM” blinks (at 0.5-second intervals) after 10 seconds ; proceeds to step (4).

If CH1 is abnormal, “ERR” lights up while “CH1 ALM” blinks.
If CH2 is abnormal, “CH2 ALM” lights up while “CH1 ALM” blinks.

(4) Preservation of the result of the check

After 10 seconds of displaying the results from (3) above, the module returns to step (1). Here, if the setting of the mode
selection switch has been changed, Self-diagnosis Mode 2 is ended to enter the designated mode.

However, in case of 2-wire, short SDA and RDA (+), SDB and RDB (-) and connect to other device.
In case of RS5, no need to connect zener diode as it is already included in module.

Appendix 4-4-1 Self-diagnosis mode 1

Function of self-diagnosis is same as NP1L-RS1/2/4. However, LED name is different.

(1) LED lighting check

Of the external LEDs of the module, the lighting condition of those operated by general purpose communication module
are checked. When the mode selection switch is set to “7,” “TS1,” “TS2,” “CH2 ALM” and “CH1 ALM” LEDs light up in this
order.

Appendix 4-4-2 Self-diagnosis mode 2

(1) RS-485 data check

The general purpose communication modules sends 16 bytes of data once and checks the looped back data received.

When both CH1 and CH2 are normal, “CH1 ALM” lights up; proceeds to step (2).
If CH1 is abnormal, “CH1 ALM” blinks (at 0.5-second intervals) and “ERR” turns ON after 10 seconds; proceeds to step 2.
If CH2 is abnormal, “CH2 ALM” blinks (at 0.5-second intervals) and “ERR” turns ON after 10 seconds; proceeds to step 2.

(2) Preservation of the result of the check

After 10 seconds of displaying the results from (1) above, the module returns to step (1). Here, if the setting of the mode
selection switch has been changed, Self-diagnosis Mode 2 is ended to enter the designated mode.
