The data transmission function is for communication with a host computer
such as a personal computer in BSC complying protocol.
The data transmission function adopts a serial transmission line and
standard protocol, making easy connection to a host computer.
NOTE
When the data transmission function described in this manual is enabled, the functions that use the LAN connector
(CN104) for the CPU board (JANCD-YCP01-E) and EtherNet/IP board manufactured by Molex Inc. (PCU-ETHIO),
such as the transmission function that uses Ethernet as a
data transmission medium (Ethernet communication) and
EtherNet/IP communication function, cannot be used.
The data transmission function is not only for transmission of job but also
for controlling robot system by a host computer using a set of commands.
The robot commands in the ASCII code command format are easy to use
and helpful for a quick development of necessary software to be run on
the host computer.
The data transmission function is divided into the following three
functions.
• DCI (Data Communication by Instruction)

• Connect “RS” of the DX100 to “CS” of a host computer.
This prevents data overrun when reception processing speed of the
DX100 cannot catch up with data sending from the host computer.
In other words, “RS” signal from the DX100 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 DX100 sends data when the “CS” signal is ON.

Concurrent Tasks from Multiple Jobs
As an option, commands related to DCI function can be executed from
more than one job simultaneously. The operations are explained below.
• 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 DX100.
• 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.

Transmission Procedure
The transmission from the DX100 to a host computer proceeds as follows.
DX100 → 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 DX100 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.

Loading Procedure
The transmission from a host computer to the DX100 proceeds as follows.
Host computer → DX100
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 DX100 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.

Axis Data Transmission Format
Axis Data Transmission Format
The DX100 data transmission function has the following restrictions on
transmission of the DX100 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.
<Example>
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

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 DX100 sends the ENQ code to establish the data link.
4. After the data link is established, the data sent from the DX100 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.

Host Control Function of DX100
Commands for Multi-control Group and Independent Control
Functions
5.3.2
Commands for Independent Control Function
The DX100 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.
