b7 Setting modifications Prohibited Allowed —
All items listed in the table should be set to OFF for the interfaces for which
"GX Developer connection" is set in the communication protocol setting.
If connecting directly to the GX Developer, it operates with the setting value
on the GX developer. (Refer to the description below.)

Write during RUN Allowed
Setting modifications Allowed/Prohibited
1) Operation setting
• This sets whether to use each of the two Q series C24 interfaces for
independent data communication, or to use the two for linked data
communication.
• The setting and data flow for linked operation is explained in (2).
2) Data bit setting
• This sets the bit length for one character in data communicated with an
external device according to the specifications of the external device.
(When data communication is performed using format 5 of the MC
protocol (for binary code communication), it is necessary to set it to 8
bits when processing the sum check code with the bidirectional
protocol.)
• If 7 bits are set, the data is communicated by ignoring the most
significant bit (8th bit).
3) Parity bit setting
• This sets whether or not a parity bit (vertical parity) is added for one
byte of transmission/receive data, according to the specifications of
the external device.
• The addition of the parity bit to the transmission data and the checking
of the parity bit of receive data are performed by the Q series C24.
