Label Settings, Send, and Receive can be easily included in a D-Script/Global D-Script.
To communicate with D-Scripts/Global D-Scripts, set the following script settings. If script settings are not designated, they cannot execute.
Script Settings in D-Script/Global D-Script
In [System Settings], click [Script].
Set the [Type] to [D-Script/Global D-Script].
There are two tabs for the script settings. The above example uses [Script1].
Set the [Port] to COM1 or COM2, and set the [Communication Settings] to match the Extended SIO.
When creating a communication program with more advanced functionality than the SIO port operation, it is recommended to use an [Extended Script]. See the following for examples on how to use extended scripts, 22.5 Communicating with Unsupported Peripheral Devices.
If you do not want to perform flow control between the display unit and the device/PLC, initiate communication from the display unit after starting up. Otherwise it may cause a communication error.
