Operating Modes of Extremely Simple! Standard App

Explanation of each operating mode

The Extremely Simple! Standard App (App_Twelite) has seven operating modes.

List of Operating Modes

Each mode is set by leaving the Mx pin unconnected or connecting it to GND.

`M3`	`M2`	`M1`	Mode	Function	PowerSaving	InitialLID
O	O	O	Child: Continuous	Sends input status to parent, and always waits for received data to reflect on output		`120`
O	O	G	Parent: Continuous	Sends input status to child, and always waits for received data to reflect on output		`0`
O	G	O	Repeater: Continuous	Always waits for received data and relays it		`122`
O	G	G	Child: Continuous 0.03s	Frequently sends input status to parent, and always waits for received data to reflect on output		`123`
G	O	O	Child: Intermittent 1s	Sends input status to parent every 1 second, and disables reception to always enter power-saving mode	✅	`124`
G	O	G	Child: Intermittent Reception 1s	Sends input status to parent every 1 second, and simultaneously performs reception, always entering power-saving mode	✅	`125`
G	G	O	-	Unused	-	-
G	G	G	Child: Intermittent 10s	Sends input status to parent every 10 seconds, and disables reception to always enter power-saving mode	✅	`127`

O: Not connected (OPEN), G: Connected to GND

Initial state is Child: Continuous mode.

The initial Logical Device ID (LID) used to identify the device varies depending on the mode.

Only in Parent or Repeater modes, the LID can be switched via Interactive Mode.

Please use 121 for Parent and 122 for Repeater.

Handling of unused AIx ports

In Child: Continuous / Child: Continuous 0.03s / Parent: Continuous modes, please connect unused AIx ports to VCC.

Unused AIx ports report undefined values. These modes send data when there is a change in input signals, which may cause unnecessary data transmission.

Parent Device

Continuous Mode

Parent: Continuous Mode

When input signals change or every 1 second, data is sent to all child devices.

It always waits for data sent from child devices, providing good responsiveness but continuously consuming power.

Reception: Always waiting
Transmission: On input change / every 1 second

Disabling periodic transmission

You can disable periodic transmission every 1 second by setting option bit 0x00000002 in Interactive Mode.

Child Device

Continuous Mode

Child: Continuous Mode

When input signals change or every 1 second, data is sent to all parent devices.

It always waits for data sent from parent devices, providing good responsiveness but continuously consuming power.

Reception: Always waiting
Transmission: On input change / every 1 second

Disabling periodic transmission

You can disable periodic transmission every 1 second by setting option bit 0x00000002 in Interactive Mode.

Child: Continuous 0.03s Mode

This mode shortens the periodic transmission interval of Child: Continuous Mode from 1 second to 0.03 seconds.

Although it always waits for data sent from the parent, the communication from child to parent occupies the bandwidth, making the parent’s input response slower. It continuously consumes power.

Reception: Always waiting
Transmission: On input change / every 0.03 seconds

Because a single child occupies most of the bandwidth, please avoid using multiple children simultaneously as much as possible.

Intermittent Mode

Child: Intermittent 1s Mode

When input signals change or every 1 second, power-saving mode is canceled and data is sent to all parent devices.

Reception is disabled, so control from the parent device is not possible. This mode has excellent power-saving performance.

Reception: Disabled
Transmission: On input change / every 1 second

Child: Intermittent 10s Mode

When input signals change or every 10 seconds, power-saving mode is canceled and data is sent to all parent devices.

Reception is disabled, so control from the parent device is not possible. This mode has excellent power-saving performance.

Reception: Disabled
Transmission: On input change / every 10 seconds

Child: Intermittent Reception 1s Mode

When input signals change or every 1 second, power-saving mode is canceled and data is sent to all parent devices.

Reception is also performed every 1 second. It has excellent power-saving performance but is inferior to Child: Intermittent 1s Mode.

Reception: Every 1 second
Transmission: On input change / every 1 second

Because reception is intermittent, the parent device must operate continuously.

Repeater

Continuous Mode

Repeater: Continuous Mode

The repeater forwards received packets.

Up to three repeaters can be installed between parent and child devices, but increasing repeaters increases the number of packets, which may cause interference.

Reception: Always waiting
Transmission: On reception

You can also add repeater functionality to child devices. Specify 0x00008000 in the option bits of Interactive Mode.
