RS-232C Units
The RS-232C Unit is a Special I/O Unit that uses the DeviceNet Network to exchange I/O between the Master Unit and an RS-232C port. Explicit messages are used to set the Unit and perform I/O. There are two RS-232C ports which can be used separately with the RS-232C Unit.

Note

1. Always turn OFF the Slaves power supply (including the communications power supply) before changing the baud rate setting. 2. Set the same baud rate on all of the nodes (Master and Slaves) in the Network. Any Slaves with baud rates different from the Masters rate wont be able to participate in communications, and may cause communications errors to occur between nodes with correct baud rate settings.

Using the RS-232C Unit

The RS-232C Unit is set and controlled using explicit DeviceNet messages or the DeviceNet Configurator. When the default communications settings for the RS-232C port are not used, the settings must be changed using explicit messages or the DeviceNet Configurator.

Making Settings with Explicit Messages 1,2,3...

The general operating procedure for the RS-232C Unit is as follows: 1. Turn ON the power to the Master Unit and all Slaves, including the RS232C Unit. 2. When necessary, explicit messages can be sent from the Master to set the parameters of the RS-232C ports 1 and 2 on the RS-232C Unit. Note a) Communications setting do not become effective even after the explicit message has been completed normally. For the settings to be effective, the RS-232C port must be reset using the PORT RESET command, or by restarting the RS-232C Unit. The previous settings will be in effect until the new settings are enabled. b) The communications settings are held internally by the RS-232C Unit, so once they have been set, they will not change when the Unit is turned OFF or reset, and once set, it is not necessary to set the parameters again, unless there are changes to be made. 3. Register the RS-232C Unit in the Masters scan list. There are two methods of registering on the scan list. Turn ON the Enable Scan List software switch on the Master Unit. Create a scan list and registering the Unit using a DeviceNet Configurator. For further details on Master Unit operations, refer to the DeviceNet Master Unit Operation Manual or the DeviceNet Configurator Operation Manual. 4. When necessary, explicit messages can be sent from the Master to control the flow of data through the RS-232C ports 1 and 2 on the RS-232C Unit. Note a) When sending or receiving data through ports 1 and 2, it is necessary to check the status word allocated to the RS-232C Unit for communications status in the Masters IN Area. b) Ports 1 and 2 can send and receive data independently but because the RS-232C Unit itself can only process one explicit message at a time, even if the SEND/RECV commands to be sent are for another port, always make sure that the previous explicit message has been processed before sending the next message.

Making Settings with the DeviceNet Configurator

The communications settings can be made using the OMRON DeviceNet Configurator (version 2.@ or later). When using a version earlier than 2.@, contact your local sales office before use. (Version information can be confirmed from the Help Menu.) 1. Connect a DeviceNet Configurator to the DeviceNet Network and go online. 2. Turn ON the power to the RS-232C Unit.

7. Click the Reset Button to enable the edited parameters. A reset confirmation message will be displayed. Click the Yes button to confirm. Note 1. When exchanging data through ports 1 and 2, it is necessary to confirm the status of the data transfer (communications status) in the words allocated to the RS-232C Unit in the Master Units Input Area. 2. It is possible to operate ports 1 and 2 independently, but the RS-232C Unit can process only one explicit message at a time. Even if you are going execute a send command or receive command for the other port, confirm that the previous explicit message processing has been completed before executing the next explicit message.

Explicit DeviceNet Messages

Explicit DeviceNet messages sent from the Master Unit can be used to control the parameters of the RS-232C Units ports 1 and 2 and to control the flow of data. The RS-232C Unit processes the commands received from the Master Unit and returns responses.

Source node address

Parameters Instance ID (Command) Specifies the port that reads the reception buffer data in hexadecimal as follows: 02 Hex: Port 1 03 Hex: Port 2 Receive Data (Response) Stores the data read from the specified ports reception buffer. The data is stored in words from the leftmost byte to the rightmost byte as shown in the following diagram.
Bit First word First word +1 First word +2 (1) (3) (5) (2) (4) (6)

Note

1. RS-232C ports 1 and 2 of the RS-232C Unit each have a reception buffer of 1,024 bytes, and up to a maximum of 1,024 bytes of data can be read from the Master at any given time. From an OMRON DeviceNet Master however, the maximum amount of data that can be read at one time is 152 bytes. Be sure to configure the data so that the 152-byte read data limit is not exceeded. 2. When data is read from an OMRON DeviceNet Master, the number of read bytes is stored as a CMND instruction (CV-series PLCs) or IOWR instruction (C200HX/HG/HE PLCs) parameter, so it will be requested. 3. When an odd number of bytes of data are sent, the last data will be set in the leftmost bits of the last word. 4. Before using this command, be sure that the communications status Received Flag (Port 1: bit 3, Port 2: bit 11) allocated in the Masters IN Area is ON (data in the reception buffer). If the command is executed while the Flag is OFF (no data in the reception buffer), and error will occur (error code 1800 Hex).

1. When transmitting explicit messages from an OMRON Master Unit, specify 2 bytes each for the Class ID and the Instance ID. Set 1 byte as the Attribute ID for the parameter setting command. 2. The parameters that are set are held internally. 3. To enable the parameters that have been set, the RS-232C PORT RESET command has been used in the program examples. The parameters can also be enabled, however, by turning OFF the power to the RS-232C Unit and then turning it ON again.

6-2-13 Reading RS-232C Unit Parameters

With the following example, the port parameters that are set for the RS-232C Unit are all read for the port when IR 00004 (port 1) or IR 00005 (port 2) turns ON in the CPU Unit of the Master Unit. When the RS-232C Units PARAMETER READ command is used, the parameters that are valid at that time will be read. After setting the parameters, the RS-232C Unit must be turned OFF and then ON again, or the ports must be reset for the new parameters to be enabled.

When IR 00004 turns ON, the ALL PARAMETER READ command for port 1 and Attribute ID (64 Hex) are written as command data. IR 00006 is turned ON for one cycle (as a differentiated bit). When IR 00005 turns ON, the ALL PARAMETER READ command for port 2 and Attribute ID (6B Hex) are written as command data.

IR 00007 is turned ON for one cycle (as a differentiated bit). When IR 00006 or IR 00007 turns ON, the sequential processing control bit IR 03100 turns ON.

6-2-14 Reading Data Received by RS-232C Unit Ports

In the following example, the data received by the Bar Code Reader is stored in the receive buffer of the RS-232C Unit and read to the Master Unit. If there is data already in the receive buffer of the RS-232C Unit, it will be read to the Master Unit. Response data from port 1 is stored in DM 0300 onwards, and response data from port 2 is stored in DM 0350 onwards. In the following program example, however, the data received is no more than 50 words (100 bytes).
