※ Symbol H in folling sentence is for Hex representation. 
 
(1) Read a word from servo drive  Function code format: R5XxSs 
Xx : A request to read register “ Xx ” from slave device( Unit :Byte, Hex representation) 
Ss : Check Sum Ss =’R’+’5’+’X’+’x’ ( Unit :Byte, Hex representation) 
Ex1: Read register address 30H and   
( Convert『R530』into ASCII codes ) 
Check Sum=52H+35H+33H+30H=EA H 
Æ  R   5   3   0 
Obtain Function code for read register address 30H:『R530EA』 
Servo drive response : %XxYySs 
Ss is Check Sum, Ss=’%’+’X’+’x’+’Y’+’y’ 
 
Response message of example 1: 
0008H is the data store in register address 30H: 
Check Sum=25H+30H+30H+30H+38H=EDH 
%  0    0  0   8 
Drive response message:『%0008ED』 
* When function code incorrect , drive response :『!』(ASCII code: 21H ) 
(2) Read consecutive 2 words from drive  Function code format: L5NnSs   
Nn : A request to read register “ Nn ” from slave device ( Unit :Byte, Hex representation) 
Ss : Check Sum、Ss =’L’+’5’+’N’+’n’ ( Unit : Byte, Hex representation) 
Ex2: Read data from register address 60H and 
( Convert『L560』into ASCII codes ) 
Check Sum=4CH+35H+36H+30H=E7 
L   5    6    0 
Obtain Function code for read register address 60H:『L560E7』 
Servo drive response: %XxYyAaBbSs 
Ss is Check Sum,Ss=’%’+’X’+’x’+’Y’+’y’ +’A’+’a’+’B’+’b’ 
XxYy is the data store in register address Nn+1, 
AaBb is the data store in register address Nn 
 
Response message of example 2: 
0001 000AH is the data store in register 60H 
Check Sum=25H+30H+30H+30H+31H+30H+30H +30H+41H=1B7H 
%   0    0    0    1   0   0   0    A 
Drive response message:『%0001000AB7』 
* When function code incorrect , drive response :『!』(ASCII code: 21H )
