Data code during communication
Communication is performed in ASCII code.
(1) Command
Specifies the contents to access from the host to GOT.
The command is converted to a 1-digit ASCII code (Hex) and transmitted.
For details of the commands that can be used, refer to the following.
(2) Station No.
Station No. is used to identify the GOT with which the host communicates. (Setting range: 0 to 1F
The address notated in hexadecimal is converted to a 2-digit ASCII code (Hex) and transmitted from the upper
digit.
The GOT processes only commands whose station No. matches the "Host Address (0 to 31)" set at
"Communication Detail Settings". (The message of command whose station No. does not match is ignored.)
For setting method of "Communication Detail Settings", refer to the following.
(3) Address
Specifies the head No. of the device data to be read/written.
The address notated in hexadecimal is converted to a 4-digit ASCII code (Hex) and transmitted from the upper
digit.
For details of the device range that can be accessed, refer to the following.
(4) Number of points
Specifies the number of device data to be read/written. (Setting range: 1 to 40
The address notated in hexadecimal is converted to a 4-digit ASCII code (Hex) and transmitted from the upper
