Dissimilarities Between A1SJ71PB96F New Products (Software
Version C or Later) and Conventional Products (Software Version B or
Before)
Function
The Boolean data service to be able to do the handling in each service is as follows.
a) Read service
As only data is contained in the response frame of the Read command, the size that can
be handled is constant regardless of the access mode.
Access mode
b) Write service
In the AJ71PB96F/A1SJ71PB96F, if variables are designated , the variable name is
handled as 32 fixed characters. Thus, the size that can be handled is constant
regardless of the variable size.
Access mode
c) Information Report (Receive) service
In the AJ71PB96F/A1SJ71PB96F, if variables are designated, the variable name is
handled as 32fixed characters. Thus, the size that can be handled is constant regardless
of the variable size.
