6.5 Reading and writing of the holding register area The holding register area is a read-write area. Parameter settings and the start and stop command of the recording state are mapped. For read, specify the start address (relative) and data count (assuming that one word is two bytes) of the data to be read.
6.5.2 Writing of the holding register area (Single) It is used when carrying out a set of command operations or parameters. In the case of operation command, it will take effect immediately when you send. In the case of parameter settings, it is reflected by sending a separate "settings save" command (address 40104 (relative address 0067H)).
6.5.3 Writing of the holding register area (Continuation) Time setting command and the like, and then used when the data needs to send in succession. In the case of operation command, it will take effect immediately when you send. In the case of parameter settings, it is reflected by sending a separate "settings save" command (address 40104 (relative address 0067H)).
