Access procedure
The higher-order controller sends the controller either a write
command (WRITE) to modify a parameter in the object direc-
tory, or a read command (READ) to read a parameter.
For each command the higher-order controller receives a
response which either contains the value read or, in the case
of a write command, serves as an acknowledgement. The
transmitted value (1, 2 or 4 data bytes) depends on the data
type of the object to be read or written.
WRITE (W)
Write commands (W) transfer a value in the specified format
to the MTR-DCI. Write commands are always echoed back,
character by character, from the controller of the MTR-DCI.
A checksum
READ (R)
Read commands (R) transfer a value from the MTR-DCI. The
response from the MTR-DCI controller contains the value
read. A checksum
All commands are entered as a character sequence without
any empty spaces. A hex character corresponds to a Char
character in hex format.
