Chapter 4. COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE
■ Continuous data write command (WD command)
This command writes continuous data in two-byte units. This command is suitable
for handling data in ladder programs sent by PLC communications as the data is of
a fixed length.
The start data address is expressed as four hexadecimal digits. Data is expressed
as four X n (n is a positive integer) hexadecimal digits.
● Send message
The write start data address (four hexadecimal digits) and the number of write data
(four X n hexadecimal digits) are sent.
● Response message
If writing is successful, the normal termination code (two decimal digits) is
returned. If only part of the data is written, and the remaining data is not written,
the warning termination code (two decimal digits) is returned. If none of the data
is written, the abnormal termination code (two decimal digits) is returned.
● Maximum number of write data per message
Up to 10 words for both RAM and EEPROM areas
The abnormal termination code is entered at XX.
