4.1 What is Two-way 1 Mode
4.1.1 Overview of Communication Mode
In the two-way 1 mode, an external device sends a command to the GT, and the GT sends a message
for transmitting the information on the switch input/data settings. The GT does not send back a response
for a command to the external device. If you need to send back responses, use the two-way 2 mode. (It
sends back a response for a readout command.)
As the RS and CS signals are not available for the GT01, it is recommended to use the two-way 2 mode.
Note: As no response is returned in the two-way 1 mode, the external device cannot detect errors.
In the two-way 2 mode that the response function is available, the external device can
detect errors because no response is returned.
4.1.2 Setting Communication Conditions
• The communication in the two-way 1 mode is only available for 1:1 connection, and specify the unit
numbers within a range of 00 to 63.
• The settings for "Baud rate", "Data length" and "Parity check" should be the same as the
communication settings specified on the external device.
• Connect the CS/RS on the GT and external device when the CS/RS control is necessary. When
unnecessary, short-circuit the "RS" and "CS" terminals on the GT side or set "CS/RS Control" to "Off".
