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.

Communication Response Time
■ DRQ input
The data read in response to a DRQ input is 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.
Time chart
■ SW command and AW command
The SW and AW commands are write commands.
Time chart
When reading the data applied by settings written to the sensor amplifier with the SW
command or AW command, using the commands (M0, MS) or DRQ inputs, perform reading
after the above "T2 (DL-RS1A data processing time)" elapses.
