Conditions External Connections
for usages • Can be used for 1:N connections in controller constitution of the sensor side.
• Communications must be within one network and cannot cross to another network.
Communication Settings
The communication settings of the serial port (Serial Gateway) must be the same as those of the Smart
Sensor.
• The communication settings of the specified serial port can be set to the default Smart Sensor settings
(the factory shipment value)using the Set Communications Port (_ZSL600_SetComm) function block,
and the other Smart Sensor settings using the Set Serial Gateway Mode (_SCx604_SetPortGATEWAY)
function block.
CPU Unit Settings
PC System Setup: Shared Settings for Communications Instructions in FBs
• Communications Instruction Response Timeout Time (default: 2 s) 5 s recommended
• Number of retries (default: 0)
Shared Resources
• Communications ports (internal logical ports)
Function When the Start Trigger turns ON, the incident level in the Area 1 is read for the Smart Sensor connected to
description the Serial Port specified by the Connection unit, Serial port No. and Sensor CH No.
FB • This FB is for the Smart Sensor ZS-LDC. Do not use it for other than ZS-LDC. If used, the internal
precautions parameters may be rewritten. Initialize the sensor in the case the internal parameters of the sensor are
rewritten.
• The FB is processed over multiple cycles. The BUSY output variable can be used to check whether the
FB is being processed
• Because there is a case to generate a time-out error when You start multiple FBs at the same time, this
should be avoided.
• OK or NG will be turned ON only for one cycle after processing is completed. Use these flags to detect
the end of FB processing.

• When this FB is started, the output parameters are cleared.

See the output parameters when the OK flag turns ON.
EN input Connect EN to an OR between an upwardly differentiated condition for the Start Trigger and the BUSY
condition output from the FB as above.
Restrictions • Always use an upwardly differentiated condition for EN.
Input • If the input variables are out of range, the ENO Flag will turn OFF and the FB will not be processed

Output • This FB requires multiple cycles to process. Always connect an OR including the BUSY output variable to
variables the EN input variable to ensure that the FB is processed to a completion (see Symbol).
• Do not turn the BUSY output variable ON or OFF outside the FB.
Others • When measuring the Area 2, execute the Area 2 Incident Level Read function block
(_ZSL202_ReadArea2IncidentLevel).
• Up to 3 seconds may be required for this FB to be completed (i.e., from EN turning ON until the OK or
NG Flag turns ON).
Application A Smart Sensor is connected 1:N to the Serial Port 1 on the Serial Communications Board (SCB).
example When bit A turns ON, the incident level in the Area 1 of the Smart Sensor is stored in D0.

Output Variables
Name Variable name Data type Range Description
ENO ENO BOOL 1 (ON): FB processed normally.
(May be omitted.) 0 (OFF): FB not processed or ended in an error.
Busy Flag BUSY BOOL Automatically turns OFF when processing is
completed.
Normal end OK BOOL Turns ON for one cycle when processing ends
normally.
Error end NG BOOL Turns ON for one cycle when processing ends in an
error.
Incident level IncidentLevel DINT Outputs the incident level of the Area 1.

Internal Variables
Internal variables are not output from the FB.
If the NG Flag from the FB turns ON, the following internal variables can be monitored to obtain information on the error.

Error code ErrorCode WORD The results information from the Smart Sensor is
output to the Error Code.
