Device part of <Figure 1> input Com Port(COM1), Baud Rate(9600), Parity Bit(0), Data Bit(8), Stop Bit(1) respectively.
When Batch controller model is FC110, input 'FC110'(blank or other string = BC410 model) at option part.
FLOS Batch Controller BC410 communication driver’s read schedule
Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:
1) STATION – 0 ~ 99 station number.
2) Read command – Command = TOTAL, ACCTOT, FLOW, DATE, TIME, PRESET, STATUS. (Refer to <Table 1> )
3) Read start address –Don't care.
4) Save start address for Communication Server – Saving start address of Communication Server.
5) Read Size – Size = Fix to 1.

When you click Add button or Edit button in dialogue box of <Figure 2>, dialogue box of <Figure 3> is shown.
You can change the setting values of FLOS Batch Controller BC410 by using write commands.
Bit Write
Bit write and word write have the same setting parameters except output value(0 or 1).
Word Write
Word write setting parameters are as follows:
1) PORT Port no. (0 ~ 255)
2) STATION 0 ~ 99 station number.
3) ADDRESS Don't care.
4) Extra1 Write command = ACCTOT, DATE, TIME, PRESET, STATUS. ( Refer to <Table 2> )
5) Extra2 PRESET write command : 0 ~ 3 decimal point position, 0 = don't use decimal point, 1 ~ 3 = 1 ~ 3 decimal point,
other command : Don't care.
| Write Command | Contents | Range of output |
ACCTOT |
Reset of Acc-Total |
0 ( Reset ) |
DATE |
send current computer date to BC410 |
Don't care. read current computer date. |
TIME |
send current computer time to BC410 |
Don't care. read current computer time. |
PRESET |
Setting of Batch Preset Quantity |
Preset value |
STATUS |
Setting of Change Batch Status |
1 = Batch Start, 2 = Batch Stop, 3 = Batch Reset, 4 = Alarm(Flow/Interlock) Clear |

Write example 1)
PORT : 0 STATION : 1 ADDRESS : 0000 EXTRA1 : ACCTOT EXTRA2 : 0
The setting parameter shown above is an example of word write for Acc-Total reset of FLOS Batch Controller BC410 equipment connected with 0 port, set to 1 station.
Write example 2)
PORT : 0 STATION : 1 ADDRESS : 0000 EXTRA1 : PRESET EXTRA2 : 0
The setting parameter shown above is an example of word write for Batch Preset Quantity(decimal point = don't use) of FLOS Batch Controller BC410 equipment connected with 0 port, set to 1 station.
Note) You have to set same decimal point position write command and equipment's setting.
Connection of main power line and communication cable are as follows.
