4-4-1 Data Transmission and Reception Units
This section explains units used for data transmission and reception.
Data Description
Position data Three words are used to transmit or receive a position data item.
The following is the configuration of a BCD position data item.
Example 1: The following is the configuration of a position data value of 123.45.
Example 2: The following is the configuration of a position data value of 12345.
A position data item uses three words. Therefore, the total words of position data to be
transmitted or received are as follows:
Total words = 3 words x No. of data items

Monitoring data
Special data
Two words are used to transmit or receive a system parameter, monitoring data item, or
special data item.
The following is the configuration of a parameter, monitoring data item, or special data
item.
Unlike position data, only one data item can be transmitted or received at a time.
Therefore, the total number of words for transmitting or receiving is as follows:
Total number of words = 2 (fixed)
