Device part of <Figure 1> input Com Port(COM3), Baud Rate(19200), Parity Bit(2), Data Bit(7), Stop Bit(1) respectively, according to setting of controller.
Baud rate of MESL-S controller can set in 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200.
Also you can set 'bit unit data( A0, A1, A3, C0 ~ C3, E0 ) saving method'( 0 : hex-decimal, 1 : decimal, default = 0), model of controller(P256 : 256 point model, P512 : 512 point module, default = P256), save other response( 0 = don't save, 1 = save, default = 0), weather to use Polling data read(0 = don't use, 1 = use, default = 0), interval of each read schedule when using 'Polling data read'(0 ~ 255, default = 5 second), read timeout of Polling data read(50 ~ 2000, default = 200 mSec), waiting time after write(0 ~ 1000, default = 300 mSec) by using option part. Each argument is a comma-delimited.
Note) When you set 'decimal(10 bit)' unit data saving method, communication driver save from 1 (2nd) bit of start data saving address. ( 1st saving address = only save 9 bit )
MESL-S New Toshiba Light communication driver read schedule
Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:
1) Station – 1 ~ 31 station number.
2) Read data type – data type = A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, C0, C1, C2, C3, E0. ( 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 – fixed to 1.

MESL-S New controller have 1024(64 word, or 256, 512) indivisual and group status value.
Note) A0, A1, A3, C0 ~ C4 read data type save 1 bit data at each data saving address.
<Table 1> is read data type and contents of MESL-NEW Toshiba Light communication driver.
| Read data type | Contents | Saving data |

If you click the icon 
in protocol option part at
<Figure 1>, you
can see the dialogue box such as <Figure 2>. you can also set read schedule by
using this part.

You can set read schedule by using 
, 
, 
button and listbox of <Figure
2>.
Also, you can set set bit unit data saving method, model of controller, Read other response, Use polling request, Interval for each read schedule, Timeout for data reading and wait after writing by using the part of '10Bit Unit Save', 'Model', 'Read other response', 'Use polling request', 'Interval for each Read schedule', 'Timeout for data reading', 'Wait after writing' shown in <Figure 2>.
