4.4 Sending/Receiving Settings

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].
