Use of Auto Read and Auto Write Commands
In
general, read and write commands are used while DCs are stationary
. Auto commands are used while DCs are
in motion.

distance can be greater than when DC is in motion, and so accurate communications can be
performed.

Auto Read and Auto Write Commands
• When the auto commands are used, DC proximity is detected automatically.
• If
DC motion is slow and positioning is accurate, communications can be done with few limitations on distance.
• When an auto command is sent while the DC is stationary, the DC Not Present indication is not issued.
