8 MECHATROLINK-II CommandsYASKAWA ELECTRIC SIEP C730600 50A YASKAWA AC Drive-Option Card MECHATROLINK-II Technical Manual 23MECHATROLINK-II (VER: 21H)COM_MODNote: If Bit6, Bit5, Bit4, or Bit0 is set to 1, a warning will be generated (Data setting warning: A.94).COM_TIMSet the factor of the transmission cycle to COM_TIM (communications time) so that the setting range satisfies thefollowing formulas.When the transmission cycle is equal to the communications time (COM_TIM = 1):• 32-byte data transmission1 [ms] ≤ transmission cycle [ms] ≤ 8 [ms]If the transmission cycle is set to a fractional value, a warning (Data setting warning: A.94) is generated.• 17-byte data transmission0.5 [ms] ≤ transmission cycle [ms] ≤ 8 [ms]If the transmission cycle is not set to a multiple of 0.5 ms, such as 0.75, a warning (Data setting warning: A.94) isgenerated.When the transmission cycle is not equal to the communications time (1 ≤ 32):2 [ms] ≤ transmission cycle [ms] × COM_TIM ≤ 100 [ms]If the transmission cycle is less than 2 ms and is set to a fractional value, a warning (Data setting warning: A.94) isgenerated. If the communications cycle is set to a fractional value, a warning (Data setting warning: A.94) isgenerated.MECHATROLINK-I (VER: 10H)COM_MODIn the following cases, a warning is generated and the command is ignored. Commands are also ignored in phase 2 (withno alarm).• If COM_MOD is set out of range: Data setting warning (A.94)• If SUBCMD is set to 1 in 17-byte data transmission: Data setting warning (A.94)• If SUBCMD is set to 1 for Ver. 1.0 (VER: 10H): Data setting warning (A.94)• If Bit6, Bit5, Bit4, Bit3, or Bit0 is set to 1: Data setting warning (A.94)Bit7 Bit6 Bit5 Bit4 Bit3 Bit2 Bit1 Bit0SUBCMD 0 0 0 DTMOD SYNCMOD 0SUBCMD Sub-commandsetting0 Sub-command not used1 Sub-command usedDTMOD CommunicationMode 00 Single data transfer modeSYNCMOD TransmissionSynchronization0 Move to phase 21 Move to phase 3Bit7 Bit6 Bit5 Bit4 Bit3 Bit2 Bit1 Bit00 0 0 0 DTMOD SYNCMOD EXMODDTMOD CommunicationMode 00 Single data transfer modeSYNCMOD TransmissionSynchronization0 Move to phase 2 (Asynchronous communications status)1 Move to phase 3 (Synchronous communications status)EXMODRequest toestablish expanded/standardconnection0 Standard connection1Expanded connectionEven if SYNCMOD = 1 (synchronous comm.), SYNCMOD will be set to 0 for asynchronousdata transmission.
