● FCS Calculation Example
Start
character
@(40H)
FCS = 40 H + 3 0 H + 3 0 H + 5 2 H + 5 8 H + 3 0 H + 3 1 H = 4B H
The calculation result (4B hex) is converted to ASCII and written to the FCS bytes.
4 → 34H
B → 42H
The + symbols indicate XOR (exclusive OR) operations.

FCS calculation range
The @ character (ASCII H'40) indicates the start of block format.
A number within the range 0 to 99 can be set in BCD. No response will be returned to a
node with a number outside of this range.
This is a 2-character alphabetic code that indicates the command type.
Set "02" only when reading and writing alarm value 2. Otherwise, set "01."
This area contains read values, write values, or status data. The data depends on the
command.
This is the Frame Check Sequence.
The FCS (Frame Check Sequence) is calculated by taking the exclusive OR of all char-
acters from the @ character to the last text character and converting the result to ASCII
characters.
Indicates the end of the block format.
The terminator is composed of "*" and CR (Carriage Return = H'0D).
The FCS (Frame Check Sequence) is calculated by taking the exclusive
OR of all characters from the @ character to the last text character and
converting that 8-bit result into two ASCII characters.
