4.7 Transferring the Instantaneous V alues
The instantaneous values of the data measured on the DR (current measured data) are transmitted to
the PC that is connected through port No. 34151.
Note
• Up to four PCs can connect to port No. 34151 of one DR.
• The commands described here do not affect the status byte.
• EF, EL, and EB command do not support sub-delimiters.
The measured data are transmitted using the following command.
EF Outputs the measured/computed data in binary format.
Mode Operation mode
Syntax EFp1, p2, p3<terminator>
p1 Data to be output
0 Output only the measured/computed data.
1 Output the measured/computed data and alarm data
p2 First channel to output (001 to 560, or A01 to A60)
p3 Last channel to output (001 to 560, or A01 to A60)
Description • A01 to A60 in p2 and p3 correspond to computation channels (A01 to A30 for the
stand-alone type).
• The data of expansion type channels that are not connected are not output.
• The data are output in the byte order specified by the EB command.
• Measured data and computed data are output simultaneously.
• If a parameter is omitted, the parameter specified previously is used.
• If a specified channel cannot output data, 2-byte data with a data length of zero
are output.
• The output format is as follows.
