Shield wire
Connect only one side of the shield wire to the FG or GND terminal so that current cannot flow to
the shield wire.
(If both sides of the shield wire are connected to the FG or GND terminal, the circuit will be closed
between the shield wire and the ground. As a result, current will run through the shield wire and this
may cause noise.)
Never fail to ground FG and GND terminals.
Terminator (Terminal resistor)
Communication converter IF-300-C5 (sold separately) has a built-in terminator.
The terminator is mounted at the end of the wire when connecting a personal computer with multiple
peripheral devices. The terminator prevents signal reflection and disturbance.
Do not connect a terminator with the communication line because the JCL-33A has built-in pull-up
and pull-down resistors instead of a terminator.

 Setting value digital transmission
With the wiring of the Setting value digital transmission, connect YA (-) with YA (-), YB (+) with YB (+)
and COM with COM respectively.
A maximum of 31 units of the JCL-33A can be connected.
The following shows an example of connection when using setting value digital transmission function
between the PCD-33A and JCL-33A

PCD-33A JCL-33A JCL-33A JCL-33A

(Fig. 2-3)

3. Setup of the JCL-33A

• Serial communication (option C5)
It is necessary to set an instrument number to each of the JCL-33A units individually when communicating
by connecting plural units.
Select a communication speed for the JCL-33A according to that of the host computer.

• Setting value digital transmission

When Setting value digital transmission and Setting value digital reception are used, select a
communication protocol as follows.

Procedure for Setting value digital transmission between PCD-33A and JCL-33A
(1) Setting to PCD-33A
If the option SVTC is applied, it is not necessary to set any item.
Check if Setting value digital transmission [ ] is selected during Communication
protocol selection [ ] in Auxiliary function setting mode 1.
(2) Setting to JCL-33A
Check if the communication speed in Auxiliary function setting mode 1 of the JCL-33A is
identical with that of PCD-33A.
(3) Setting value digital transmission starts.
Input program setting value to the PCD-33A.
If the program is initiated by pressing the RUN key, PCD-33A setting values are
transmitted to the JCL-33A.
During program standby mode, “0” is sent to the JCL-33A.

• For the Communication protocol and Communication speed selection, refer to the Instruction manual
for the JCL-33A.

3
4. Communication procedure
Communication starts with command transmission from the host computer (hereafter Master) and
ends with the response of the JCL-33A (hereafter Slave).

• Response with data

Master Slave
When the master sends the reading command, the slave
Command
responds with the corresponding setting value or current
Data status.
• Acknowledgement
Command When the master sends the setting command, the slave
Acknowledgement responds by sending a acknowledgement after the
processing is terminated.
• Negative acknowledgement
Command When the master sends non-existent command or a value
Negative outside the setting range, the slave returns a negative
acknowledgement acknowledgement.
• No response
Command The slave will not respond to the master when global address
is set, or when there is a framing error or checksum error (for
No response Shinko protocol), or when LRC discrepancy (for Modbus protocol
ASCII mode) or CRC discrepancy (for Modbus protocol RTU
mode) is detected.
(Fig.4-1)

Communication timing of the RS-485 (option C5)

Slave side
When the slave starts transmission to RS-485 communication line, the slave is arranged so as to
provide an idle status (mark status) transmission period of 1 or more characters before sending
the response to ensure the synchronization on the receiving side.
The slave is arranged so as to disconnect the transmitter from the communication line within a
1 character transmission period after sending the response.
Master side (Notice on programming)
Set the program so that the master can disconnect the transmitter from the communication line
within a 1 character transmission period after sending the command in preparation for reception
of the response from the slave.
To avoid the collision of transmissions between the master and the slave, send the next command
after carefully checking that the master received the response.
Note:
When the master communicates with the slave through the communication converter (IF-300-C5),
it is not required to manage the transmission timing described above, because the converter
automatically sets the transmission timing interpreting the protocol.

5. Shinko protocol
5.1 Transmission mode
Shinko protocol is composed of ASCII codes.
Hexadecimal (0 to 9, A to F), which is divided into high order (4-bit) and low order (4-bit) out of
8-bit binary data in command is transmitted as ASCII characters.
Data format Start bit : 1 bit
Data bit : 7 bits
Parity : Even
Stop bit : 1 bit
Error detection : Checksum
5.2 Command configuration
All commands are composed of ASCII. The data (setting value, decimal number) is represented by
hexadecimal figures, and ASCII code is used.
The negative numbers are represented by 2's complement.

Instrument number 0 to 94 (00H to 5EH) and Global address 95 (5FH)
The numbers (20H to 7EH) are used by giving 20H of bias.
95 (7FH) is called Global address, which is used when the same command
is sent to all the slaves connected. However, a response is not returned.
Sub address : (20H) fixed
Command type : Code to discern Setting command (50H) and Reading command (20H)
Data item : Data classification of the command object

Error code : Represents an error type. Composed of hexadecimal 1 digit.
1 (31H)-----Non-existent command
2 (32H)-----Not used
3 (33H)-----Setting value outside the setting range
4 (34H)-----Unsettable status (e.g. AT is performing)
5 (35H)-----During setting mode by keypad
5.3 Checksum calculation
Checksum is used to detect receiving errors in the command or data.
Set the program for the master side as well to calculate the checksum of the response
data from the slaves so that the communication errors can be checked.
The ASCII code (hexadecimal) corresponding to the characters which range from the address
to that before the checksum is converted to binary notation, and the total value is calculated.
The lower 2-digits of the total value are converted to 2’s complements and then to hexadecimal
figures, that is, ASCII code for the checksum.
Checksum calculation example
Step 1, step SV: 600 (0258H)
Address (instrument number): 0 (20H)
• 1’s complement: Reverse each binary bit. 0 will become 1 and vice versa.
• 2’s complement: Add 1 to 1’s complement.

Notes on the setting command and reading command
• It is possible to set the setting value by setting command of the communication function
even if the setting value is locked.
• Although the options are not applied, setting the optional items is possible by the setting
command. However, they will not function.
• The memory can store up to 1,000,000 (one million) entries.
If the number of setting times exceeds the limit, it cannot memorize the data. So frequent
transmission via communication is not recommended.
• When connecting plural slaves, the address (instrument number) must not be duplicated.
• When sending a command by Global address [95 (7FH)], the same command is sent to all the
slaves connected. However, the response is not returned.
• The instrument number and communication speed of the slave cannot be set by communication.
Setting command
• The settable range is the same as the one by keypad.
For communication command, refer to the communication command table of this manual.
• All commands are composed of ASCII.
• The data (setting value, decimal) is converted to hexadecimal figures, and ASCII is used.
Negative numbers are represented by 2's complement. When the data (setting value) has
a decimal point, the whole number without a decimal point is used.
Reading command
• All commands are composed of ASCII.
• The data (setting value, decimal) is converted to hexadecimal figures, and ASCII is used.
Negative numbers are represented by 2's complement. When the data (setting value) has
a decimal point, the response is returned as a whole number without a decimal point.

6. Modbus protocol
6.1 Transmission mode
There are 2 transmission modes (ASCII and RTU) in Modbus protocol.
6.2 ASCII mode
Hexadecimal (0 to 9，A to F), which is divided into high order (4-bit) and low order (4-bit) out of
8-bit binary data in the command is transmitted as ASCII characters.
Data format Start bit : 1 bit
Data bit : 7 bits
Parity : Even
Stop bit : 1 bit
Error detection : LRC (Longitudinal Redundancy Check)
Data interval : 1 second or less
(1) Message configuration
ASCII mode message is configured to start by [: (colon)(3AH)] and end by [CR (carriage return)
(0DH) + LF (Line feed)(0AH)]. (See Fig. 6.2-1)

(Fig. 6.2-1)

Slave address
Slave address is an individual instrument number on the slave side and is set within the range
00H to 5FH (0 to 95).
The master identifies slaves by the slave address of the requested message.
The slave informs the master which slave is responding to the master by placing its own address
in the response message.
[Slave address 00H (broadcast address) can identify all the slaves. However slaves do not respond.]

 Function code
The function code is the command code that makes the slave to undertake the following action types (Table
6.2-1).
(Table 6.2-1)
Function code Contents
03 (03H) Reading the setting value and information from slaves
06 (06H) Setting to slaves
A function code is used to discern whether the response is normal (acknowledgement) or if any error
(negative acknowledgement) has occurred when the slave returns the response message to the master.
When acknowledgement is returned, the slave simply returns the original function code.
When negative acknowledgement is returned, the MSB of the original function code is set as 1
for the response.
(For example, when the master sends a request message setting 10H to function code by mistake,
slave returns 90H by setting the MSB to 1, because the former is an illegal function.)
For negative acknowledgement, abnormal code (Table 6.2-2) below is set to the data of response
message and returned to the master in order to inform it that what kind of error has occurred.

(Table 6.2-2)
Abnormal code Contents
1 (01H) Illegal function (Non-existent function)
2 (02H) Illegal data address (Non-existent data address)
3 (03H) Illegal data value (Value outside the setting range)
17 (11H) Illegal setting (Unsettable status)
18 (12H) Illegal setting (During setting mode by keypad, etc)
Data
Data differs depending on the function code.
A request message from the master is composed of data item, number of data and setting data.
A response message from the slave is composed of number of bytes, data and abnormal code
in negative acknowledgement. Only one piece of data can be dealt with per message.
Therefore the number of data for ASCII mode is fixed as (30H 30H 30H 31H).
Effective range of data is –32768 to 32767 (8000H to 7FFFH).
(2) ASCII mode error check
After calculating LRC (Longitudinal Redundancy Check) from the slave address to the end of data,
the calculated 8-bit data is converted to two ASCII characters and are appended to the end of the
message.
How LRC is calculated
1 Create a message in RTU mode.
2 Add all the values from the slave address to the end of data. This is assumed as X.
3 Make a complement for X (bit reverse). This is assumed as X.
4 Add a value of 1 to X. This is assumed as X.
5 Set X as an LRC to the end of the message.
6 Convert the whole message to ASCII characters.

Slave address
Slave address is an individual instrument number on the slave side and is set within the range
00H to 5FH (0 to 95).
The master identifies slaves by the slave address of the requested message.
The slave informs the master which slave is responding to the master by placing its own address
in the response message.
[Slave address 00H (broadcast address) can identify all the slaves. However slaves do not respond.]
Function code
The function code is the command code that makes the slave to undertake the following action types (Table
6.3-1).
(Table 6.3-1)
Function code Contents
03 (03H) Reading the setting value and information from slaves
06 (06H) Setting to slaves
A function code is used to discern whether the response is normal (acknowledgement) or if any error
(negative acknowledgement) has occurred when the slave returns the response message to the master.
When acknowledgement is returned, the slave simply returns the original function code.
When negative acknowledgement is returned, the MSB of the original function code is set as 1
for the response.
(For example, when the master sends request message setting 10H to function code by mistake,
slave returns 90H by setting the MSB to 1, because the former is an illegal function.)
For negative acknowledgement, abnormal code (Table 6.3-2) below is set to the data of response
message and returned to the master in order to inform it that what kind of error has occurred.
(Table 6.3-2)
Abnormal code Contents
1 (01H) Illegal function (Non-existent function)
2 (02H) Illegal data address (Non-existent data address)
3 (03H) Illegal data value (Value out of the setting range)
17 (11H) Illegal setting (Unsettable status)
18 (12H) Illegal setting (During setting mode by keypad, etc)
Data
Data differs depending on the function code.
A request message from the master side is composed of data item, number of data and setting data.
A response message from the slave side is composed of number of bytes, data and abnormal code
in negative acknowledgement.
Only one piece of data can be dealt with per message. Therefore the number of data for RTU mode
is fixed as (0001H). The number of response bytes is (02H).
Data item and data are the same as those defined in Chapter 7. Communication command table.
Effective range of data is –32768 to 32767 (8000H to 7FFFH).
(2) RTU mode error check
After calculating CRC-16 (Cyclic Redundancy Check) from the slave address to the end of data, the
calculated 16-bit data is appended to the end of message in sequence from low order to high order.
10
 How CRC is calculated
In the CRC system, the information is divided by the polynomial. The remainder is added to the
end of the information and transmitted. The generation of polynomial is as follows.
(Generation of polynomial: X16 + X 15 + X 2 + 1)
1 Initialize the CRC-16 data (assumed as X) (FFFFH).
2 Calculate exclusive OR (XOR) with the 1st data and X. This is assumed as X.
3 Shift X one bit to the right. This is assumed as X.
4 When a carry is generated as a result of the shift, XOR is calculated by X of 3 and the fixed
value (A001H). This is assumed as X. If a carry is not generated, go to step 5 .
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 until shifting 8 times.
6 XOR is calculated with the next data and X. This is assumed as X.
7 Repeat steps 3 to 5 .
8 Repeat steps 3 to 5 up to the last data.
9 Set X as CRC-16 to the end of message in sequence from low order to high order.

Data:
• When the data (setting value) has a decimal point, remove the decimal point and represent it as a
whole number, then express it in hexadecimal figures.
• When the alarm action type is changed, the alarm setting value returns to the default value.
The alarm output status is also initialized.
Note
The settings by the front keypad and by communication function differ as follows.
• When data is changed by front keypad, the data that is related to the changed item is also changed
automatically as shown in Example 1 below.
15
 • When the data is changed by communication function, the related data does not change
as shown in Example 2 below. (Only the changed data is altered.)

(Example 1) SV high limit: 1370

Step SV : 1000
When SV high limit is changed to 800 by the front keypad, both SV high limit and
Step SV are changed to 800 .
(Example 2) SV high limit: 1370
Step SV : 1000
When SV high limit is changed to 800 by communication function, SV high limit is
changed to 800 , however, Step SV is maintained at the same temperature 1000 .

9. Troubleshooting
If any malfunctions occur, refer to the following items after checking the power supply to the master
and the slave.
• Problem: Communication failure
Check the following
The connection or wiring of communication is not secure.
Burnout on the communication cable or imperfect contact with the connector.
Communication speed of the slave does not coincide with that of the master.
The data bit, parity and stop bit of the master do not accord with those of the slave.
The instrument number (address) of the slave does not coincide with that of the command.
The instrument number (address) is duplicated in multiple slaves.
When communicating without using Shinko communication converter (IF-300-C5), make sure that
the program is appropriate for the transmission timing.
• Problem: Though it is able to communicate, the response is 'NAK'.
Check the following
Check whether a non-existent command code has been sent or not.
The setting command data goes outside the setting range of the slave.
The controller cannot be set when functions such as AT is performing.
The operation mode is under the setting mode by the front keypad.

If you have any inquiries, please consult our agency or the shop where you purchased the unit.
