3.1.2 Configuration of Response
Responses from the VJ Series with respect to a command sent from the higher-level
device consist of the elements shown below, which differ depending on the condition of
communication; normal or failure.
1) Normal Communication
When communication completes normally, the VJ Series returns a character string "OK"
and data corresponding to a command.

2) In the Event of Failure
If communication does not complete normally, the VJ Series returns a character string "ER"
and error code (EC1 and EC2). (See subsection 3.1.3, “Response Error Code”.)
• No response is made in case of an error in address number specification or CPU
number specification.
• If a VJ Series cannot receive EXT in a command, response may not be made.
* As a countermeasure, provide a timeout process in the communication functions of the higher-level device or in
communication programs.
