To send the updated settings to the BL-700 and to read the settings from the BL-
700, perform the following procedure.
Sending updated settings to the BL-700
To send updated settings to the BL-700, perform the following procedure.
1. Press the BL-700 TEST switch for 8 seconds. When the 1st, 3rd and 5th STA-
BILITY LEDs from the top flash simultaneously, the communication protocol is
temporarily set as indicated below (this status is called “setting data send/
receive waiting status”).
• Baud rate: 9600 bits/s
• Data length: 7 bits
• Parity: Even
• Stop bit length: 1 bit
• PLC link: Disabled
• Multi-drop link: Disabled
If you know the current communication parameter settings of the BL-700, this step is not
necessary. You can send data to the BL-700 by setting the communication parameters of
the host computer using [COM PORT] so that they conform to the current settings of
the BL-700. However, if PLC link is enabled, you cannot send data to the BL-700 without
performing this step because the handshaking protocol is set for PLC link only.
2. Click on [COM PORT] to set the communication parameters of the host com-
puter according to the values listed in the step 1. (above procedure). Select an
RS-232C port, and click on [OK].
