Note Bits indicated by “---” are set to 0.
Note 1. Specify the beginning address of FINS-mini command text as 4-digit ASCII code + “00.” For
example, when reading the executing bank, specify “000800” as the beginning address.
Note 2. The data structure shown in the “Explanation” column is the one inside the Cam Positioner. If
the data is read through CompoWay/F communications, it will be converted into ASCII code.
For example, when the Resolver speed is 800 r/min, data is stored as 08 Hex (leftmost byte:
Address 0000) and 00 Hex (rightmost byte: Address 0001) inside the Cam Positioner. This
data will be read as ASCII code “0800” (30 38 30 30 Hex) during communications. When
CAM1 to CAM8 are all ON, hexadecimal value FF is written to address 0004, but it will be read
as ASCII code “FF” (46 46 Hex) during communications.

Note 1. The parameter area code is divided into the following three types.
4000: Parameters in byte (8 bits) units
8000: Parameters in word (16 bits) units
C000: Parameters in long word (32 bits) units
Set the parameter area code as ASCII code “4000,” “8000,” or “C000.”
Note 2. Set the beginning address as 4-digit ASCII code. For example, to read an origin compensa-
tion value from address 8000, set “8000.”
Note 3. In “No. of items,” set the number of items in the unit specified for the parameter area code. For
example, resolution/compensation settings are parameters in byte units, so the number of
items is 1. Origin compensation values are parameters in word units, so the number of items is
1. Cam programs for cams 1 to 8 of bank 1 are parameters in byte units, so the number of
items is 720.
