Set by the parameter
The setting value of the "Group ID" command is saved in the RAM. In this case, if the power supply is turned o, the
setting will be returned to the initial value and the group will be released. Therefore, the group is needed to set again
every time after the power supply is turned on. On the other hand, the "Initial group ID" parameter is stored in the non-
volatile memory. If a group is set in this parameter, the group will not be released even when the power supply is turned
o. The group function can be used immediately when the power supply is turned on.
