H Communications Specifications
The communications specifications of the Cam Positioner are shown below. Set the communications
conditions of the host CPU to these specifications.
Communications method: RS-232C
Synchronization method: Start-stop synchronization
Baud rate: 9,600 or 19,200 bps (parameter setting)
Transmission code: ASCII
Data bit length: 7 bits
Stop bit: 2 bits
Parity: Even
Node number: “00”
Subaddress: “00”
Note 1. The Cam Positioner is factory-set to a baud rate of 9,600 bps. To use 19,200 bps, relevant
parameters must be set. Refer to 3-6-13 Copy Function (Data Transfer) for details.
