The use of PC link communication enables UT150L to communicate with a device such as a PC,
easily. In this communication, you can use such device to read/write data from/into D registers or read
data from I relays, both of which are internal registers of the UT150L.
Hereafter, PCs, are generally called “host devices.”
See Also
Chapters 5 and 6 for information on the D registers and I relays.
In the PC link communication, a host device identifies each UT150L with a communication address of
1 to 99. Some of commands to use let you to specify broadcast that requires no address numbers. For
more information on broadcast specification, see subsection 3.2.2.

(1)STX (Start of Text)
This control code indicates the start of a command. The character code is CHR$(2).
(2)Address Number (01 to 99)
Address numbers are used by the host device to identify UT150L at the communication destination.
(They are identification numbers specific to the UT150L.)
(3)CPU Number
This number is fixed to 01.
(4)Time to Wait for Response
This is fixed to 0.
(5)Command (See subsection 3.2.1, List of Commands)
Specify a command to be issued from the host device.
(6)Data Corresponding to Command
Specify an internal register (D register or I relay), number of data pieces, UT150L parameter value,
and others.
(7)Checksum
This converts the ASCII codes of texts between the character next to STX and the character immediately before the checksum into hexadecimal values and adds them byte by byte. It then fetches the
single lowermost byte of the added results as the checksum.
This column is only required for PC link communication with checksum. PC link communication
without checksum does not require this 2-byte space of ASCII code.
(8)ETX (End of Text)
This control code indicates the end of a command string. The character code is CHR$(3).
(9)CR (Carriage Return)
This control code indicates the end of a command. The character code is CHR$(13).
NOTE
The control codes STX, ETX, and CR are essential for commands when you create a communication
program for PC link communication. Omission of any of them or incorrect order of them results in
communication failure.

● Command Format for Communication
Example: When setting a target setpoint “50.0” to a UT150L, the host device sends the value “500” as
command data without the decimal point (this is true for both setting 5.00 or 500).
Data to be send from the host device: hexadecimal value of 500 (01F4)
Command data: 01F4Response data from UT150L: 01F4
UT150L side
The position of the decimal point for “500” is determined by the DP (position of decimal point) parameter of the UT150L.

Maximum overall cable length of 1200 m for a maximum of 31 substations
Figure 3-2 Specifying Broadcast
The broadcast function enables all of the connected UT150L or other devices to receive a command.
Specifying an address number in Table 3-3 for the address number column in a command enables the
host device to write data from/into the internal registers of all UT150L or other devices.
For UT150L, internal registers (D registers and I relays) are assigned with numbers for management.
(See chapters 5 and 6 for details.) For the internal registers of other models, see the documentation of
the relevant model.

This section shows an example of a command sending and response receiving program created with
Microsoft Quick BASIC*2 for PC/AT*1 (or compatible machines).
The communication conditions of the UT150L and those of the PC (e.g., communication rate) must
agree with each other. Set the communication rate (baud rate) of the PC using the SWITCH command
of MS-DOS*3. For how to use the SWITCH command, refer to the User’s Reference Manual of MSDOS. Moreover, set the parity, character bit length, stop bit length, and so on using the OPEN
statement.

Use of the MODBUS communication enables UT150L to communicate with a wide variety of devices
such as PCs. In this communication, you use such device to read/write data from/into D registers,
(internal registers) of the UT150L.
Hereafter, PCs are generally called “host devices.”
See Also
Chapter 5 for information on the D registers.
For the MODBUS communication of the UT150L, we provide the ASCII mode (ASCII system) and
RTU mode (binary system) for the communication mode.

● Message format for communication
Example: When setting the target setpoint “50.0” to a UT150L, the higher-level device sends message
data (01F4) into a value of “500” converted into hexadecimals not including the decimal point (thus,
this is true for sending both 5.00 or 500).
Message data in the higher-level device: hexadecimal value of 500 (01F4)
Message data: 01F4
UT150L side
Target setpoint: 50.0
The position of the decimal point for “500” is determined by the DP (position of decimal point) parameter of the UT150L.

IM 05C01E22-10E
4.2Communication with Host Device
The specification of D registers for a message using commercially available SCADA or the like and
specification of D registers for a message in customer-created communication programs are different
from simple specification of D register numbers. Thus, care should be taken.
(1) When using commercially available SCADA or the like, specify the D register numbers by
changing them into reference numbers. D register numbers whose “D” leading character is replaced
with “4,” are treated as reference numbers. (When using a DDE server or others, specify these
reference numbers.)
(2) For communication programs created by the customer, specify registers using the hexadecimal
numbers of values that are obtained by subtracting “40001” from the reference numbers. (Thus,
hexadecimal numbers are those to be specified.)
Example: To specify target setpoint “D0120”:
(1) For a message using commercially available SCADA or the like, specify reference number
“40120.”
(2) For a message in a customer-created communication program, specify the hexadecimal number, or
0077, of a value (0119) obtained by subtracting 40001 from the reference number.

Chapter 5 Functions and Usage of D Registers
5.Functions and Usage of D Registers
5.1Overview of D Registers
This section explains the functions and usage of D registers.
The D registers store the parameter data, flag data and process data that are handled by UT150L
controller. By connecting UT150L controller to host devices capable of PC link communication, or
MODBUS communication, you can readily use these internal data items by reading from or writing to
the D registers.
Using the D registers, you can perform:
• Centralized control using host devices
• Data exchange by reading/writing using host devices
5.2Interpretation of Lists of D Registers
(D Register Map Tables)
This section explains how to read the “D Register Map” tables in this chapter. In the example shown
below, the number in the leftmost column denotes (1) D-register number. The five-digit number in the
column on the immediate right of the leftmost column represents (2) Reference number for MODBUS
communication. The number in the column third from left is (3) Register number (hexadecimal) for
the MODBUS communication program. Each register code name in the D Register Map tables
represents register name of specific process data item, operating parameter, setup parameter or other
data items. For details on the operating and setup parameters, see Model UT150L Limit Controller
instruction manual (IM 05C01E22-01E).

Note 1: Data for process values, operating parameters and setup parameters are stored as the types (EU, EUS, % and ABS without
the decimal point) indicated in the "Operating Parameters" and the "Setup Parameters" of the UT150L Limit Controller instruction manual. The OFF and ON states are represented by 0 and 1, respectively. The D registers D0401 to 0420 are
read-only.
Note 2: The user area (register numbers D0401 to 0420) is reserved for 16-bit register data used in other software programs.
When working with host devices, do not write to or read from this area as usually done.

5.4.1D Register Contents
D registers are designed to indicate two or more events, such as errors and parameter data, using
combinations of bits within them. If any of the events shown in the following tables occurs, the
corresponding bit is set to 1. The bit remains set to 0 if the event has not occurred yet. Note that bits
in blank fields are not in use.
● D0001 Register - Bit Configuration of STATUS (Input Error)

● D0101 and D0102 Registers - A1 and A2 (Alarm or Timer Setpoints)
If either “23” or “24” is set in the AL1 and AL2 registers, the value is used as the setpoint for the
timer in units of seconds. If a value other than “23” and “24” is set, it is used as the alarm setpoint.
● D120 Register-CSP1 (Target Setpoint for writing via Communication Only)
The CSP1 parameter is a target setpoint for use via communication only and is effective only if the
SP1 parameter is selected. Use this register when you want to change the target setpoint by means
of communication. Once you write a value into this register, the D0114 (SP1) register contains the
same value. Note that data in the D0120 register is not recorded when the power is turned off.
When the power is turned back on, the D0120 register contains the value previously written into the
D0114 (SP1) register.

Chapter 6 Functions and Usage of I Relays
6.Functions and Usage of I Relays
This chapter explains the functions and usage of the I relays.
The I relays contain information on errors in UT150L controller, as well as the controller’s alarm
statuses. By connecting the UT150L controller to host devices (via PC communication link), you can
read these internal data items from the I relays to use for your own particular purpose. (Note that
most of the I relays have the same functions as the D registers.)
6.1Status I Relays
The following table summarizes how the on-off status I relays are classified.

Description
Error information (same as data in the D0001
register)
User area (Data can be written to or read from
the range of I relays)
Remarks
Information stored in each group of these
I relays is represented by the four sets of
binary codes, from 0000 (0 in the
decimal system) to 1000 (8 in the
decimal system), which are formed by
each combination of four I relays. The
lowest-numbered I relay in each set
signifies the LSB of the four bits.
NOTE
The on-off status I relays numbered 1 to 16 store on-off status information. In normal operation, this
area can be accessed to read the on-off status.
When specifying an I relay number via communication, begin the number with an upper-case letter I.
For example, type I0014 to specify the RJCERR.st relay (I relay numbered 14).
No data may be written to or read from data storage areas with blank fields in the tables that follow.
If you attempt to do so, UT150L controller may fail to operate correctly.
