6.3.5. RS-232C Communication Positioning Operation
Positioning may be executed directly via RS-232C communication.
The commands and parameters related to the positioning operations are listed in Table 6-6
“Positioning command and parameter” and the commands and parameters unique to RS-232C
positioning are listed in Table 6-12 below. ” Refer to “9. Details of Commands and Parameters”
for details.
◊ Refer to “8.9. RS-232C Communication” for the detail of the way of communication.

Caution : Please note that there is the limit for the number of times of overwriting
commands and parameters to the memory.
◊ The Driver Unit has an EEPROM for the data backup. The
EEPROM has the limitation on the number of times for writing and
deleting data. (Approximately 100 000 times) Therefore, we
recommend setting the command WM to prohibit writing to the
EEPROM when the internal parameters are frequently changed
from the master controller during operation. However, setting of
the command WM is not necessary for commands and
parameters that do not require the backup.
◊ Parameters that are categorized as “parameter” in “9. Details of
Command and Parameter” will be backed up on the EEPROM.
