This is for identifying data (measured value, status and set value) sent to the host computer.
$ $ $ $
Data [Number of digits: 6]
Data indicated by the identifier belonging to the controller. It is expressed in decimal ASCII code
including a minus sing (-) and a decimal point. No zero suppression is made.
& & & &
[ETX]
A transmission control character used to indicate text end.
% % % %
[BCC]
BCC (Block Check Character) for error detection using horizontal parity. BCC is calculated by
horizontal parity (even number).
<Algorithm>
Take off EX-OR (exclusive "or") of all character from next [STX] through [ETX].
Not including [STX].
Example:
In the case of the data are :
STX M 1
4DH 31H
BCC = 4DH ! 31H ! 30H ! 30H ! 30H ! 35H ! 30H ! 30H ! 03H = 7AH
Value of BCC becomes 7AH.
(4) Controller data send end (EOT send)
If the following cases, the controller sends [EOT] to terminate the data link.
! When there is no specified identifier.
! When there is an error in the data type.
! After all the data has been sent.
! When a identifier not added to the controller is specified.
(5) Controller no response
