Parameters of Commands and Responses

*3 You can read data number "033" to check the error status of the sensor amplifiers.

Convert the five digit number (ASCII characters) read from the sensor amplifiers to a binary number and check the ON/OFF state of each bit to check the error.

For information on each error, refer to "IG Series User's Manual".

•

When the data read from a sensor amplifier is "00033": "33" converted to binary number is "0000 0000 0010 0001".

Therefore, this data indicates that a "receiver error" and an "overcurrent error" have occurred at the sensor amplifier from which it was read.

•

If no error has occurred at the sensor amplifier, the data "00000" is returned.

*4 You can read data number "036" to check the judgment output status.

Convert the two digit number (ASCII characters) read from the sensor amplifiers to a binary number and check the ON/OFF state of each bit to check the judgment output status.

•

When the data read from a sensor amplifier is "12": "12" converted to binary number is "1100".

Parameters of Commands and Responses

*5 When the data read from the sensor amplifiers is one of the following values, it is not a

comparator value but has a specific meaning.

*6 When reading data from the main unit on which the 2 heads mode is set for the calculation

function, the reading range is changed to -999.99 to +999.99

*7 When the sensor amplifier is in the error state, the analog voltage output is +5.500 and analog

current output is +03.00. *8 If the number of edges is 100 or more, 99 is read. *9 When writing is performed to set the prohibited combination of functions, the value becomes 1.

For details of each function, refer to the User's Manual.

(Example) When the measurement mode is set to "Pin interval judgment mode" or "Pin diameter

judgment mode", and the setting is changed to use the calculation function,

*10 The execution result for the item last requested, either the zero shift execution request or zero

shift reset execution request, is read. *11 This item includes the results for the initial reset execution or system parameter set request. *12 When the measurement mode is set to the "Pin interval judgment mode" or "Pin diameter

judgment mode", if the calibration is performed, the value becomes 4 (Abnormal termination of

Span value/Offset value). *13 You can read data number "121" to check the system parameter of the sensor amplifier. The

system parameter means the polarity of judgment output and edge check output, and the

setting for analog output. Convert the two digit number (ASCII characters) read from the sensor

amplifiers to a binary number and check the ON/OFF state of each bit to check the system

parameter.

•

When the data read from a sensor amplifier is "006": "6" converted to binary number is "0110".

Therefore, the setting of the amplifier from which the data is read is "NPN output" and "Analog output 1 to 5 V".

*14 When the measurement mode is set to "Pin interval judgment mode", the pin interval is read.

When it is set to "Pin diameter judgment mode", the pin diameter is read.

The pin diameter (interval) 1 means the first pin diameter (interval) counting from the top side.

When the measurement mode is set to modes other than "Pin interval judgment mode" or "Pin

diameter judgment mode", if this data is read, a communication error (error number: 22) occurs.

setting for analog output. *5 Only w hen data 0 is written and the external output is OFF for wiring, it operates as OFF *6 If the sensor amp lifier is in the key locked state, writing is not possible. Writing results in a

communication error (error number: 22). *7 When reading data from the main unit on which the 2 heads mode is set for the calculation

function, the reading range is changed to -999.99 to +999.99. When the calculation function is

changed from modes other than the 2 heads mode to the 2 heads mode, these setting values

change ten-fold. *8 -100 means the "Bottom" setting. +100 means the "Top" setting. *9 When reading data from the main unit on which the 2 heads mode is set for the calculation

function, the reading range is changed to 000.00 to 099.99. *10 Specify the system parameter set when data number 06 (Initial reset request) is written. Convert

the two digit number (ASCII characters) to a binary number and check the ON/OFF state of

each bit to specify the system parameter.

•

When the specified data is "06": "6" converted to binary number is "0110".

Therefore, the setting of the amplifier to which the data is written is "NPN output" and "Analog output 1 to 5 V".

*11 When the calculation function is changed from 3 (2 heads mode) to modes other than 3, or

changed from modes other than 3 to 3 (2 heads mode), the communication response time T4

becomes max. 1 second for 1 second after the setting is changed. Also, the same result is

yielded when the setting is changed using the button operation of the sensor amplifier. When

the calculation function is changed, T6 becomes max. 100 ms. For T4 and T6, refer to

"Communication Response Time" (page 17). *12 When the measurement mode is set to the "Pin interval judgment mode" or "Pin diameter

judgment mode", the data 0 and 10 to 13 cannot be written. If 0 is written, data 1 is written. If 10

to 13 is written, data 9 is written.

Do not perform writing to the expansion unit 1 when the calculation function is used. If the

average number of times of the main unit is changed using the calculation function, the average

number of times of the expansion unit 1 is automatically changed. *13 To reflect the setting written for the data number 144 to 147 to the sensor amplifier, write 1 (user

setting) for the data number 143 or set the external input setting to "User setting" with the button

operation on the sensor amplifier. *14 Writing is possible only for the main unit with the IG Series expansion unit additionally installed

next to the main unit. Writing onto other sensor amplifiers results in a communication error (error

number: 22).

Parameters of Commands and Responses

● Relation between the data number 001 to 013 (data requesting the sensor amplifier operation)

and the data number 051 to 056 (data presenting the result of request/execution)

When writing the data number 001 to 013 (data requesting the sensor amplifier operation), read the data number 051 to 056 (data presenting the result of request/execution) and check that the request is correctly reflected (1: Normal termination is read.). If the request is not correctly reflected and abnormal termination occurs, data other than 1: Normal termination may be read by reading the data number 051 to 056. Thus, the request may not be reflected to the sensor amplifier.

When 0 o 1 is written for the data number 001 to 013, the previous state of the data number 051 to 056 is cleared and the condition is updated. The data number 051 to 056 keeps the result until 0 o 1 is written for the data number 001 to 013 next.

(Example) Relation between the data number 003 (Standard waveform registration request) and the

data number 052 (Standard waveform registration request result)

When the target object is present within the measurement range and the optical axis alignment indicator is off, if the standard waveform registration is performed, the results are as follows. (1) When the power is turned on, the default condition for the data number 003 becomes

1: Normal termination.

(2) If 0 is written for the data number 003, the data number 052 keeps 1: Normal

termination.

(3) If 1 is written for the data number 003, the data number 052 is changed to 0: Executing

request.

(4) Although the standard waveform registration was performed, the standard waveform

registration error 1 occurs due to the insufficient light-receiving amount. Then, the data number 052 is changed to 2: Standard waveform registration error 1.

(5) The data number 052 keeps 2: Standard waveform registration error 1 until the

standard waveform registration is requested again or the power is turned on again.

• The data number 051 (Zero shift/zero shift reset execution result) keeps the result of writing which either the data number 001 (Zero shift execution request) or data number 002 (Zero shift reset execution request) performed last.

• The data number 055 (Tolerance tuning/Two-point tuning execution result) keeps the result of writing which any of the data number 007 (Tolerance calibration request), data number 009 (Two-point calibration, HIGH side 2nd point confirmation) or data number 011 (Twopoint calibration, LOW side 2nd point confirmation) performed last.

• The data number 054 (EEPROM writing result) keeps "0: Writing" approx. for 2 seconds after the contents written onto the nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) using the writing commands (SW, AW) are sent last. If writing starts after 2 seconds and finishes normally, 1: Normal termination results. (Example) If the writing commands (SW, AW) are continuously sent every second, 0:

Writing results always. After the last writing commands (SW, AW) are sent, 0: Writing is kept for 2 seconds, writing is performed after 2 seconds and 1:

Normal termination results. However, the initial reset is performed for the data number 005 (Initial reset request), writing starts immediately. If the all parameters can be saved on the nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) after approx. 3 seconds, 1: Normal termination results.

Parameters of Commands and Responses

■ Control outputs (Judgment outputs)

This parameter is used with communication command "MS" and DRQ input. For the IG Series, specify the ON/OFF state of the judgment output (HIGH/LOW/GO judgment output) and edge check output using two digits (ASCII character). Convert the two digit number (ASCII characters) read from the sensor amplifiers to a binary number and check the ON/OFF state of each bit to check the judgment output status.

When the data read from a sensor amplifier is "12": "12" converted to binary number is "1100".

Bit Judgment output

0 0: HIGH judgment output OFF, 1: HIGH judgment output ON 1 0: LOW judgment output OFF, 1: LOW judgment output ON 2 0: GO judgment output OFF, 1: GO judgment output ON 3 0: Edge check output OFF, 1: Edge check output ON

Reference

Bit 3: Edge check output ON Bit 0: HIGH judgment output OFF

Bit 2: GO judgment output ON Bit 1: LOW judgment output OFF

67 Write control error DL-RS1A is not writable.

Change the read/write setting switch to the R/W position to enable writing to DLRS1A. For information on the read/write setting switch, refer to "Part Names and Functions" (page 2).

Point

Communication Response Time

This section describes the communication response time for each communication command and various time frames.

Communication Response Time and Time Chart

This section describes the concept of communication response time and the time chart for the communication commands.

When sending communication commands consec utively from the external device, wait to send the next command after reception of the response for the previous command from DL-RS1A completes.

■ SR command

The SR command directly reads data from a sensor amplifier during T4 (DL-RS1A command processing time).

Time chart

■ M0 command and MS command

The M0 and MS commands read the buffered data that DL-RS1A periodically retrieves from the sensor amplifiers. Therefore, the latest data detected by the sensors can only be read after T2 (DL-RS1A data processing time) where DL-RS1A retrieves data from the sensor amplifiers.

Communication Response Time

■ T5 (Response send time from DL-RS1A)

The time required to send a response varies depending on the communication speed, data bit length, and number of bytes. For information on the communication settings, refer to page 2. The response time can be calculated using the following formula:

T5 = (number of bytes) x (data bit length + 4) / (communication speed)

● Number of bytes for different commands

SR command : (number of bytes in the read data) + 12 M0 command : {(number of bytes in the read data) + 1} u number of connected sensor amplifiers + 4 MS command : {(number of bytes in the read data) + 3} u number of connected sensor amplifiers + 4 DRQ input : {(number of bytes in the read data) + 3} u number of connected sensor amplifiers + 4 SW command : 11 AW command : 8 * For information on the number of bytes in the write data and the number of bytes in the read data,

refer to "Parameters of Commands and Responses" (page 10).

Sample calculation

■ T6 (Sensor amplifier settings change time)

For information on the calculation function, refer to the manual supplied with the sensor amplifiers.

● When calculation function of sensor amplifiers is OFF

T6 = 0 ms for SW and AW commands; the sensor amplifiers complete modifying their settings during the T4 period. * This table also applies to the sensor amplifiers that do not have the calculation function.

● When calculation function of sensor amplifiers is ON

The SW/AW command also becomes T6 = 0 ms.
