Explanation and Definition
Protocol macro
A protocol macro is a function that enables data to be sent and received
with general-purpose external devices.
This function can be realised by executing the protocol macro instruction
(hereinafter referred to as PMCR instruction) in a CPU Unit's user program
through storing procedures for sending and receiving data (protocols) in a
Serial Communications Board or a Serial Communications Unit to
exchange data with general-purpose external devices.
Protocol
A unit of independent communication processing with a specific
general-purpose device. A protocol includes procedures for sending and
receiving data. A protocol consists of more than one sequence.
Sequence
A unit of the independent communication processing which can be started
by executing the PMCR instruction in a program. A sequence that is started
by the instruction executes steps registered in its own sequence.
Step
A unit to execute any one of the followings: message send processing,
message receive processing, message send/receive processing, receive
buffer clear, or step wait. Up to 15 steps can be set for per sequence.
Send message
A communication frame (command) to send to general-purpose external
devices. A send message is invoked by steps in the sequence and is sent
to general-purpose external devices.
Receive message
A communication frame (response) received from general-purpose
external devices. A receive message is invoked by steps in the sequence
and is compared with data received from general-purpose external
devices.
Receive matrix
A function to register and use some communication frames (responses)
when more than one communication frame is expected to be received from
general-purpose external devices. The receive processing can be
executed according to registered communication frames by using this
function.
(1) Understand the specifications of devices which are used in the system. Allow some

Serial Communications Unit
To initialize the settings of Serial Communications Unit, select Edit - I/O Table and Unit
Setup from the PLC Menu in CX-Programmer and perform the following steps.
(1)Right-click Serial Communications Unit in the PLC IO Table Window and select Unit Setup
from the menu.

8.1. Initializing Sensor Controller
For information on how to initialize Sensor Controller, refer to Initializing Settings in 8-11
Setting the System in 8. Sensor controller operations of the Displacement Sensor ZW-7000
series Confocal Fiber Type Displacement Sensor User’s Manual (Cat. No. Z362).
This section describes the details on the program used in this document.
9.1. Overview
The following explains specifications and functions of the program that are used to check the
connection between Sensor Controller (hereinafter referred to as Destination Device) and
PLC (Serial Communications Unit (hereinafter referred to as SCU)).
This program uses the protocol macro function of SCU to send and receive the "version
information acquisition" command to/from Destination Device and to detect a normal end or
an error end.
A normal end of the send/receive processing means a normal end of the communications
sequence.
An error end means an error end of the communications sequence and an error of Destination
Device (detected with the response data from Destination Device).
Here, the "&" prefix is added to decimal data and the "#" prefix is added to hexadecimal data
when it is necessary to distinguish between decimal and hexadecimal data. (e.g., "&1000" for
decimal data and "#03E8" for hexadecimal data)
Additional Information
OMRON has confirmed that normal communications can be performed using this program
under 5.2. Device Configuration, however, we do not guarantee the normal operation under
the disturbance such as electrical noise or the performance variation of the device.
Outline of Processing
The following figure shows the data flow from when PLC (SCU) issues command data to
Destination Device using serial communications until PLC receives response data from
Destination Device.
(1)The ladder program specifies the communications sequence No. 900 and executes the
PMCR instruction.
(2) The PLC receives the response data from Sensor Controller according to receive
messages defined by the communications sequence No. 900 and stores them in the
response data storage area.
(3)The Sensor Controller executes the command by receiving the command data from PLC,
and returns response data to PLC.
(4)The PLC receives the response data from Sensor Controller according to the receive
messages defined by the communications sequence No. 900, and stores them in the
response data storage area.

9.3. Error Detection Processing
In this program, the error detection processing performs with regard to the following areas (1)
to (3). For error codes, refer to 9.8. Error Processing.
(1)Errors when executing the PMCR instruction (PMCR instruction error)
An incorrect communications sequence number and an incorrect memory address, which
prevent the execution of the PMCR instruction, are detected as PMCR instruction errors. An
error can be detected with error codes (1519.00 to 03) of the port operating status in the
CIO area allocated to the SCU.
(2)Errors when communicating with Destination Device (Communications error)
Errors that occur in communications with Destination Device such as character corruption
and transmission errors caused by unmatched baud rate setting are detected as
communications errors. An error can be detected with error code (1519.10) of the sequence
abort completion in the CIO area allocated to the SCU.
(3)Errors in Destination Device (Destination Device errors)
Destination Device errors include a command error, a parameter error, a data error, and an
execution failure in Destination Device. An error is detected with the response data which is
returned from Destination Device. In this program, an error is detected by comparing
difference in formats between a receive message in normal operation (hereinafter referred
to as "normal message") and a receive message in error (hereinafter referred to as "error
message"). (For details, refer to 9.6.6. Receive Message Settings.)

Point on safety
Thoroughly check the overall program before specifying the area to store the receive data of
the PMCR instruction. Otherwise, the data may be written to an unintended memory area.
Precautions for Correct Use
This program uses the communications port No.7.
Do not use the communications port No.7 for other purposes. If you have no choice but to
use the communications port No. 7, check that Communications Port Enabled Flag (A202.07)
is ON.

Case No .00
RV_VR
Case No .01
RV_ER
Case No .15

in the sequence is recognized until the first byte (header) is
received.
This timer is set to 3 seconds in this protocol macro data.
Timer Tfr

Monitors the time from transmission of the header to
transmission of the last byte of the data.
Additional Information
For the calculation method of monitoring time, refer to 4-5 Calculation Method of Monitoring
Time of the CX-Protocol OPERATION MANUAL (Cat. No. W344).
The following describes the contents of step settings for the communications sequence No.
900. The settings include retry count, send/receive messages (message names), next
process, and error process. The sequence of this protocol macro data is composed of the step
