MJ400307A1 ⑨CR and LF Indicate the end of the message. CR fixed “0DH” and LF fixed to “0AH”. ◆Data address ※Since EEPROM has a limit of the time of rewriting, use RAM if the rewriteing will be done frequently, and use EEPROM if the data will be retained when the power is turned off. ※In case of the rewriting to EEPROM, it will be reflected in action when the power is turned on again.
