REMOTE DIAGNOSIS
Parameters for the Series 16i/18i/21i
#7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 #0
0002 RDG
[Data type] Bit
# 0 RDG Remote diagnosis is:
0: Not performed.
1: Performed.
When performing remote diagnosis using an RS-232-C serial port, set
this parameter to 1 after modem and cable connection and preparation.
When a modem card is used, this parameter need not be set.
#7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 #0
0201 MCB NCR ASC SB2
[Data type] Bit
# 0 SB2 The number of stop bits is:
0: 1
1: 2
When performing remote diagnosis, set this parameter to 0.
# 1 ASC As code used for data output:
0: ISO code is used.
1: ASCII code is used.
When performing remote diagnosis, set this parameter to 1.
# 2 NCR When an EOB (End of Block) is output:
0: "LF" "CR" "CR" are output.
1: "LF" only is output.
When performing remote diagnosis, set this parameter to 1.
# 6 MCB Data is transferred between the modem card and CNC:
0: At a baud rate of 9600 bps.
1: At a baud rate set in parameter No. 203.
For details of the settings when MCB = 1, see parameter No. 203.
