Baud rate (bps): set to the same as the PLC “Communication speedsetting”The units for the communication transmission speed are in bits persecond. There are eight possible settings (1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200).422. Length: set to the same as the PLC “Data length” settingSet the number of bits used to represent one character of data. Selecteither 7 bits or 8 bits.423. Stop Bit: set to the same as the PLC “Stop bits” settingSet the number of bits for the signal that identifies the end of the data.Select either 1 bit or 2 bits.424. Parity: set to the same as the PLC “Parity check” settingSet type of parity check for the appended parity bit that is used to checkthat transmission was correct. Select either None, Even, or Odd.425. Flow ControlSet the handshake flow control method. Select either None or Xon/Xoff.43. Serial Output431. Type No RegisterSpecify a data register number (in the range 0 to 9999) for performingthe PLC product switch request.432. Top Data RegisterSpecify a start data register number (in the range 0 to 9999) for whendata is output to the PLC.433. TimeoutSet the timeout for the response after output of data to the PLC and theresponse to a product type switch number request.434. OutputSpecify the number of bits for the output data.Select either 16 or 32 bits for the number of bits.16 bits: values in the range –2 15 to 2 15 –1 (–32768 to 32767)can be output.32 bits: values in the range –231 to 231–1 (–2147483648 to 2147483647)can be output.
