Parameters of Commands and Responses

66

Expansion line error

The communication could not be

established due to a problem with an

expansion line.

Check if the separate display unit is

connected. Correctly connect it by

referring to "Connecting the Unit to

Sensor Amplifiers" (page 3). Check that

the connected sensor amplifier is

compatible with the DL-RS1A (refer to

page 4).

67

Write control error

DL-RS1A is not in a writable state.

Change the read/write setting switch to

the R/W position to enable writing to DL-

RS1A. For information on the read/write

setting switch, refer to "Part Names and

Functions" (page 2).

Error No.

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 consecutively 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.
