  • Page 191: Check Code

    Check Code Use this element when an element indicating check code data is included in a packet. CPU module automatically calculates a specified check code at timing of sending/receiving, and adds it to a send packet or detects an error of a receive packet. Window Item Description...

  • Page 192: Non-Verified Reception

    Considerations for configuring packet element • Only one check code can be placed in a packet. • A check code can be placed in any position of the data portion or after a terminator. However, one or more elements are needed before the check code.
