Remark
1) Number of data specifies the number according to the type of device. Namely, if the data type of
device is WORD, and number of data is 5, it means that 5 WORDs should be written.
2) Number of data can be used up to 240Bytes(120 Words).
Item Explanation
BCC When command is lowercase(r), only one lower byte of the value resulted by adding 1 Byte
each to ASCII values from ENQ to EOT is converted into ASCII and added to BCC.
Device
length(Name length
of variable)
This indicates the number of name's characters that means device, which is allowable up to
16 characters. This value is one of ASCII converted from hex type, and the range is from
H01(ASCII value:3031) to H10(ASCII value:3130).
device Address to be actually read. This must be ASCII value within 16 characters, and in this
name, digits, upper/lower case, and '%' only are allowable to be entered.
