3 STATUS • Establishes a MECHATROLINK-II connection. Sets the communications
mode according to COM_MOD.
• VER: Version
• Set VER to 21H (Ver. 2.1).
• COM_MOD: Communications mode. Refer to the following table.
• COM_TIM: Communications cycle
Set the multiple number of transmission cycle in the range of 1 to 32.
1 [ms] ≤ transmission cycle [ms] × COM_TIM ≤ 32 [ms]
• A warning will occur and the command will be ignored in the following
cases.
-If COM_MOD is not within range: Data setting warning 2 (A.94B)
