Settings of External Device

Speed is set up by setting up the parameter by which a monitor is carried out by display of External Device. Other setup is fixed values and cannot be changed. Setup Items SIO Type Speed Data Length Parity Stop Bits Flow Control Procedure The setting method of speed is explained to an example for 30i-Model A. RS232C Sets up with a parameter (refer to procedure). 8 bits Even 1 bit None Setup Description

Permit the parameter writing. Press the [OFFSET] key of an External Device operation board, and select the [Stting]. Change "0" of parameter writing into "1", and press the [INPUT] key.

Setting the parameter for display connection. Press the [MDI] key of External Device operation board, and shift to MDI mode. Press the [SYSTEM] key in MDI mode and the parameter screen is displayed. Press the [Next page] and the parameter input screen is displayed. Input the "3119" into parameter No. and the 3rd (3119. 3) bit is set to 0.

Setup Description Select the SIO type to communicate with the External Device. Select speed between the External Device and the Display. Display data length. Select how to check parity. Select stop bit length. Select the communication control method to prevent overflow of transmission and reception data. Use an integer from 1 to 127 to enter the time (s) for which the Display waits for the response from the External Device. In case of no response from the External Device, use an integer from 0 to 255 to enter how many times the Display retransmits the command. Use an integer from 0 to 255 to enter standby time (ms) for the Display from receiving packets to transmitting next commands. You can switch RI/VCC of the 9th pin when you select RS232C for SIO type. It is necessary to change RI/5V by changeover switch of IPC when connect with IPC. Please refer to the manual of the IPC for more detail.
