• Connect “RS” of the DX200 to “CS” of a host computer.
This prevents data overrun when reception processing speed of the
DX200 cannot catch up with data sending from the host computer.
In other words, “RS” signal from the DX200 controls start-hold of
data transmission from the host computer.
The sending interface controller must be capable of coping with CS
input displacement in units of a single byte.
• The DX200 sends data when the “CS” signal is ON.

As an option, commands related to DCI function can be executed from

• The DCI related commands can be executed in any job regardless of
distinction among the ordinary job, concurrent job (option), or job
activated in series (option).
• Multiplexing of DCI transmission function is not supported. Therefore, it is impossible to manipulate files on two or more external
memory units (such as personal computer) connected to the DX200.
• If two or more commands related to DCI function are issued concurrently, the execution starts after completion of processing of the currently executing command. Therefore, if a module issues a
command request while another module is executing DCI function,
the request has to wait until the ongoing processing completes.

In the above job, when the command  is executed, loading of the host
computer and the job are executed.
Normally, when NWAIT is not specified, the commands of  and after are
not executed until the job loading is completed. However, when NWAIT is
specified, the commands  and  are executed sequentially during the
job loading ; at execution of SWAIT command , the execution of
command  is waited for the job “ABC” loading is completed.
At the time of completion of job “ABC” loading, the command  is
executed to execute the job “ABC”.
At this time, if SWAIT command is not specified before the command ,
the command  is executed during the loading of job “ABC”, and an alarm
occurs.
Therefore, be sure to verify that loading is completed before executing a
job to be loaded, by using SWAIT command.

By using an independent control command (optional), DCI commands can
be executed in parallel with general commands.
For example, to execute the job “R1” for robot 1 is to be executed in
parallel with the job “S1” for station 1 during job loading, the following
procedure is taken:
Job “R1”: Job for robot 1
Job “S1”: Job for station 1

The job “ABC” is loaded by the command  during execution of the job
“S1”; when loading is completed, the DX200 waits for the job “S1” to be

The transmission from the DX200 to a host computer proceeds as follows.
DX200 → Host computer
1. The ENQ code is sent out to establish a data link.
2. After the data link is established, data are sent out to the host
computer.
3. After the transmission completes, the DX200 waits for a response
from the host computer to verify the completion of transmission.
Therefore, the host computer should return a response.
4. The transmission is terminated upon receipt of the response from the
host computer.
The data type is distinguished by the header number and the subcode
number. Refer to the header number list.

Data Transmission
Loading Procedure
The transmission from a host computer to the DX200 proceeds as follows.
Host computer → DX200
1.
The ENQ code is sent out to establish a data link.
2.
After the data link is established, a request to send is sent out to the
host computer.
3.
When the request to send is accepted, the DX200 enters receiving
status, waiting for the ENQ code from the host computer. Therefore,
the host computer should send data after the data link is established.
4.
The transmission is terminated at completion of data reception from
the host computer.
A request to send consists of a header number and a subcode number.
Refer to the header number list.
At transmission, memory capacity is checked and if received data cannot
be stored, an alarm occurs.
If the transmission itself is normal, reception is continued and an alarm is
displayed after the transmission is terminated.
If an error occurs during reception, the job data will not be stored.

transmission (while jobs or variables
are loaded or saved), the robot stops
but the data transmission continues.
In this case, the start lamp goes

Axis Data Transmission Format
The DX200 data transmission function has the following restrictions on
transmission of the DX200 internal data.
The robot axes are fixed to a 6-axis set.
A base axis and a station axis are recognized as an external axis.
Up to three base axes are available. With station axis data added after
base axis data, up to six axes can be handled.
For example, SAVEV BP005 is read as SAVEV BP005 + EX005.
If the system lacks one of the variables, only the existing one is used.
If the system has both variables but not registered, an error occurs.
The definition of the robot, base, and station axes is used as it is, free of
the predetermined axis data R1, B1, and S1.
&lt;Example&gt;
Transmission data of SAVEV in different system configurations are
shown below.
• In a system having two base axes (X and Z) and no station axis
If BP005 is pulse type and 1st axis is 100 and 2nd axis is 200, then
SAVEV BP005 → 03, 007 100, 200, 0, 0, 0, 0
If BP005 is XYZ type and X-axis is 123.456 and Z-axis is 234.567, then
SAVEV BP005 → 03, 008 123.456, 234.567, 0,0, 0, 0
• In a system having no base axis and three station axes
If EX005 is pulse type and 1st axis is 500, 2nd axis is 600, and 3rd axis
is 700
SAVES EX005 → 03, 007 500, 600, 700, 0, 0, 0
• In a system having two base axes (X and Z) and three station axes
If BP005 is pulse type, 1st axis is 100 and 2nd axis is 200, and
EX005 is pulse type, 1st axis is 500, 2nd axis is 600, and 3rd axis is
700, then
SAVEV BP005 → 03, 007 100, 200, 500, 600, 700, 0
(Same as for SAVEV EX005)
If BP005 is XYZ type, X axis is 123.456, and Z axis is 234.567, and

Command that Handle Axis Data
The data transmission function of the DX200 has restrictions on handling
control axis data.
 For the following commands, the order of response data varies whether
the number of robot's axes is 6 or 7.
Object commands: RPOSJ, RPOSC, MOVJ, MOVL, IMOV, PMOVJ,
PMOVL
 Since the manipulator axes are fixed to a six-axis set, any manipulator
having more than seven axes cannot use the following commands.
Object commands: RUFRAME, WUFRAME
5.2.4
Response to MOV-type Command
The responses to MOV-type command are as follows.
• If the manipulator is moving by operations other than commands, the
interpreter message 2010 (manipulator moving) is returned and the
manipulator does not move.
• If the manipulator is in stop status, it turns ON the start lamp and
moves according to the command, and returns a response
immediately.
• If the manipulator is moving according to the previous commands,
only a single command is accepted and the response is held up.
After completing execution of the preceding commands, when
starting execution of the suspended command, the manipulator
returns a response.
This applied to the following commands.
MOVJ, MOVL, IMOV, PMOVJ, PMOVL

CGROUP
Changes an objective control group of various commands used in the host
control function.
The DX200 can support multiple number of manipulators and stations. In
this case, CGROUP is used when any control group for commands such
as RPOSC is to be changed.
When the power supply is started up, robot 1, base 1, and station 1 (when
a base and a stations exist) are specified.
Command format : CGROUP Data-1, Data-2
Data-1 = Robot control group specification.
A control group can be specified according to the following data.
However, the following settings cannot be made.
• Selection of control axis which does not exist
• Specification of multiple number of manipulators
In a system with a base axis (such as travel axis), when the manipulator
with this base axis is specified, this base axis is automatically specified.

Transmission Procedure
The transmission from the host computer proceeds as follows.
1. The ENQ code is sent from the host computer to establish a data link.
2. After the data link is established, the data is sent from the host
computer. The data transmission should be completed in a single
block.
3. After the request to send is accepted, the host computer should be
ready to receive.
The DX200 sends the ENQ code to establish the data link.
4. After the data link is established, the data sent from the DX200 is
received to terminate the transmission at completion of receipt.
The read/write function can be distinguished by the header number.
Refer to the header number list.

5.3 Commands for Multi-control Group and Independent Control
Functions
Data Transmission
5.3.2
Commands for Independent Control Function
The DX200 supports the independent control function which can execute
more than one job simultaneously.
For this independent function, the following commands are available.
• CTASK : Changing the tasks
• RGROUP : Reading the control group or task selected status
By using the above commands, a task to be controlled can be changed.
The following commands have influence when the independent control
function is used.
 Job startup (START)
Starts up a job.
When a job name specification is provided for operand, execution of
that job is started from the head of job as a task that is currently
selected.
When a job name is not specified, all tasks that are currently set are
executed from the current line No.
 Waiting for completion of startup (JWAIT)
As a response, returns the information whether the currently selected
task operation has been completed.
 Master job registration (SETMJ)
Sets a specified job as a master job, to the currently selected task.
 Job selection (JSEQ)
Sets a job name, a line No. to the currently selected task.
 Read of selected job (RJSEQ)
Reads the job name, line No., and step No. of the currently selected
task.
 Read of status (RSTATS)
Returns the system status disregarding the selected task status.
However, the “running” status differs from the conventional status ; the
“running” is entered even if only one task was operating.

Frequently asked questions

The DX200 OPTIONS is designed to facilitate data transmission and control of robotic systems from a host computer. It allows for the loading and saving of jobs and variables, remote monitoring of the robot's status, and the execution of commands to control its movements and operations.
The DX200 OPTIONS provides three data transmission functions: the DCI (Data Communication by Instruction) function, the stand-alone function, and the host control function. These functions cater to different communication needs and allow for flexible control and data management.
The DX200 OPTIONS utilizes a serial interface port (RS-232CI/F) for communication with a host computer. The connection is through a standard RS-232C interface, and the system is configured as a null-modem connection.
The DX200 OPTIONS implements the BSC LIKE protocol for data transmission. The transmission speed is 9600 bps, and the system uses half-duplex transmission with asynchronous synchronization. The transmission code is ASCII or Shift JIS, and error control is ensured using a BCC (Block Check Character) system.
