STATUS • Establishes a MECHATROLINK-II connection and sets the communica-
tions mode according to COM_MODE.
• VER: Version. Set VER to 21H (Version 2.1)
• COM_MOD: Sets the communications mode. Refer to (2) Details of
COM_MOD for details.
• COM_TIM: Sets the communications cycle. The communications cycle
must satisfy the following equation within the range between 1 and 32.
0.25 [ms] ≤ Transmission cycle [ms] × COM_TIM ≤ 32 [ms]
• A warning will occur and the command will be ignored in the following
cases.
- If COM_MODE is out of the setting range: Data setting warning 2
(A.94B)
- If COM_TIM is out of the settting range: Data setting warning 2
(A.94B)
- If the transmission bytes is 17 but SUBCMD = 1: Data setting warn-
ing 2 (A.94B)
- If the transmission speed is set to 10 Mbps but VER is not set to 21H:
Data setting warning 2 (A.94B)
• Slave stations will not accept commands other than CONNECT, DIS-
CONNECT, and NOP before the connection is established. If a command
other than CONNECT, DISCONNECT, and NOP is sent before the con-
nection is established, NOP is always returned as the response.
