Command 2
Command 2, along with command 1, is a number used to distinguish each
command.
Check Sum (CKS), Error Processing, and ACK
1) The check sum described below and RS-232C odd parity are used together for
a check of the received data. The check sum is the lower order 8 bits of one
frame of sent or received data comprising the sum total of Command 1, Unit
ID 1 and 2, Command 2, Data Length, and Data.
Check Sum Example

Command1 Unit ID1
2) Error Processing
• When the communication interval is vacant for more than 4 ms, thereafter a
received Command 1 will be recognized. If, at this time, meaningful data
cannot be recognized, that data will not be recognized (as valid data).
• An ACK will not be returned unless the receive data error, the check sum
error, and the receive data are all taken in.
