CREATING AND TRANSMITTING Reference program (3) Program for sending the reading stop

1 Create the ladder program.

Create sample programs as shown below.

Reference program (1) Program for reading codes

Reading starts when

F1 is set to ON.

Reading will time out after 2 seconds.

( SetKthemeans
T1 H timer in units of 10 ms.
a decimal constant. )
Data to send: [ESC]LOFF[CR][LF]

Explanation

Apply the reading start trigger.

When reading start instruction F1 is set to ON, the code reading start
trigger (M8001) is set to ON. When the reading start trigger (M8001) is
set to ON, the "LON" reading start command send instruction (M3000)
is set to ON.
After 2 seconds, reading times out and the reading start trigger (M8001)
is set to OFF.
Reference program (2) Program for sending the reading start
command
Explanation
Send the reading stop command "LOFF" from the PLC to the
code reader.
Set the channel number of the serial unit, and then clear the send
result storage area (set all the entries to 0). Set the number of words
to send to 4 (D411 to D414), and then store [ESC]LOFF[CR][LF], the
data to send, as a hexadecimal value in D411 to D414.
[ESC]: Clear the code reader's previous received data buffer.
LOFF[CR]: Reading stop command
[LF]: The terminator used to recognize the end of Q Series
serial communication unit data reception is [CR][LF].
Therefore, [LF] is appended at the end of the data.

Use the G.OUTPUT instruction to send the data to the code reader.

Reference program (4) Program for receiving reading data

Data to send: [ESC]LON[CR][LF]

Explanation

Send the reading start command "LON" from the PLC to the code
reader.
Set the channel number of the serial unit, and then clear the send
result storage area (set all the entries to 0). Set the number of words to
send to 3 (D311 to D313), and then store [ESC]LON[CR][LF], the data
to send, as a hexadecimal value in D311 to D313.
[ESC]: Clear the code reader's previous received data buffer.
LON[CR]: Reading start command
[LF]: The terminator used to recognize the end of Q Series
serial communication unit data reception is [CR][LF].
Therefore, [LF] is appended at the end of the data.
Use the G.OUTPUT instruction to send the data to the code reader.
Received data region: Starting at D510
Explanation
Store the reading data starting at D510.
When data is received from the code reader, X3 (or X4) is set to ON.
Set the channel number of the serial unit, and then clear the data
receive instruction control area (set all the entries to 0).
Set the maximum received number of words (D503) to 100 characters
(enough for 50 DM entries).
The previously received data is cleared (set to 0).
The G.INPUT instruction is used to store the received data starting at
D510.

2 EXECUTING LADDER PROGRAMS
Chapter
Transmit the ladder program.
6 AND MONITORING READING DATA
When you create a new ladder program or edit an existing one,
"Convert" the ladder program before you transmit it to the PLC. Set the reading instruction “F1” to ON from the ladder program to
start reading with the code reader. Then, check that the read data is
stored in data memory entry “D510.”

After you configure all the settings, restart the code reader and the
Mitsubishi PLC.
In the "Online" menu, click "Write to PLC."
* Note that the transmitted program will not be applied if you do not
restart the PLC.

In the "Online" menu, go to "Monitor," and then click "Device batch."

Select the files that need to be written, and then click "Execute."

Restart the PLC.

* Note that the transmitted program will not be applied if you do not
restart the PLC.

Enter the following settings in the device batch monitor, and then click
"Start monitor."

Setting Value
Device D510
Monitor format Bit & Word
Display ASCII character
Value DEC
T/C set value Reference program MAIN

Click "Device test," select "F1" for "Device," and then click "FORCE
ON."
This will make the code reader start reading.
To perform reading again, forcibly set "F1" to OFF, and then click
"FORCE ON."

When the data is read normally, the details of the read data are
displayed as shown below.

If the reading operation fails (the reading time elapses), "ERROR" is

displayed as shown below.
