Appendix C Auto Read/Auto Write Use of Auto Read and Auto Write Commands In general, read and write commands are used while DCs are stationary. Auto commands are used while DCs are in motion. Read and Write Commands Communications distance can be greater than when DC is in motion, and so accurate communications can be performed.

Section Data Carrier Memory Map Data Carrier Memory Map Access to a maximum of 64k bytes of (0000 to FFFF) ID Controller memory area is possible. The actual accessible memory area of the ID Controller varies with the memory capacity of the DC. A DC with a memory capacity of more than 256 bytes has a production date (month and year) area and write protected area.
Page 24
Section Data Carrier Memory Map 3-2-2 Production Date Format The production date format is valid for a DC with a memory capacity of more than 256 bytes. For checking the life of the DC battery, the manufacturer registers the production date in the first two bytes of the memory area immediately prior to shipping the DC from the factory.

Section Using Monitor Unit (V600-P01) Using Monitor Unit (V600-P01) The Monitor Unit is a monitoring tool mounted on the ID Controller. It can be used during system startup to check communications with the DC, to read or write data to the DC, and to read any error messages. 4-1-1 Monitor Unit Functions The Monitor Unit has the following functions which are executed in the MON- ITOR Mode.
Page 58
Section Using Monitor Unit (V600-P01) 4-1-2 Mounting the Monitor Unit The Monitor Unit is attached by sliding the ID Controller connector cover in the direction of the arrow on the cover. Press the four tabs on the back of the Monitor Unit down until they lock to make sure that it is mounted properly and securely.

Section Monitor Unit Operation List Note 1. Data setting is not required for an operation test with the test read or test auto read command to check the relationship of the position. 2. If the DC’s memory capacity is more than 256 bytes, data cannot be written to address 00 or 01 when page 0 is set with a page number because these addresses are used to register the production month and year of the DC.
