7.9.9 Code description
n Codes from ① STX to ⑫ memory bank function are expressed in ASCII codes. 
n For the ASCII codes, see "7.9.13. Table of ASCII codes." 
n For the procedure for conversion to ASCII codes, see communication examples 7.9.11 and 
7.9.12.
 
① STX 
 
This code is necessary for the receiver to detect the top of a message. This is affixed to the 
top of the character string to be transmitted. 
 
② Unit number 
 
This code is for a higher-level computer to identify the communication partner (this product). 
Unit numbers are changed by using the rotary switch. 
Set range: 0 to F (to be set in a hexadecimal number)
*Before changing a setting, always turn off this product.
 
③ Setting channels 
This function is for setting channels for reading and writing data in this product. 
Set range: 1 to 8 (each channel), A (all channels 1 to 8) 
*Before changing a setting, always turn off this product. 
 
④ Contents of requests 
Enter either of the following codes: R, W, r, or w. 
R (uppercase, 52H): For reading data from this product 
W (uppercase, 57H): For writing data in this product or for saving data in this product 
r (lowercase, 72H): 
For reading data from the memory bank of this product
w (lowercase, 77H): For writing data in the memory bank of this product or for saving data
in this product
⑤ Identifier 
 
An identifier is a classification code (identifier) for data to be read or written and expressed in 
a three-digit alphanumerical ASCII code. See "6. Table of identifiers." 
 
⑥ Numerical data 
 
These are data to be read or written, and are all expressed in five digits regardless of the type.
Negative data: The "-" (minus) sign is in a single digit at the largest digit. 
Position of the decimal point: 5-digit data does not include a decimal point. 
 
Example: The table below indicates the significances of 5-digit numerical data 00010. 
Example
Significance of the value
Proportional band (P)
→
1.0%
Data (PV), etc, whose decimal point can be shifted
When the decimal point setting (DP) is 0
→
10
When the decimal point setting (DP) is 0.1
→
1.0
 
⑦ ETX 
 
This code is needed for the receiver to detect the end of a message. It is affixed to the end of a 
character string to be sent (except for BCC).
