3STATUS• Establishes a MECHATROLINK connection. Sets the communications mode
according to COM_MODE.
• VER: Version
Set VER to 10H (Ver. 1.0).
• Subcommand: Cannot be used.
COM_MOD: Communications mode. Refer to the following table.
• COM_TIM: Communications cycle [ms]
Set the multiple number of 2 [ms] in the range of 2 to 32 [ms].
2 [ms]
≤ COM_TIM ≤ 32 [ms]
• A command warning will occur and the command will be ignored in the fol-
lowing cases.
- If COM_MOD is not within range: Parameter setting warning (A.94)
- If COM_TIM is not within range: Parameter setting warning (A.94)

• EXMOD:
0: Standard connection
1: Extended connection
• SYNCMOD*:
0: Asynchronous communications (The SERVOPACK changes communication
to phase 2.)
1: Start synchronous communications (The SERVOPACK changes
communication to phase 3.)
* The SERVOPACK changes communication to phase 2 when EXMOD is set
to 1. The SERVOPACK changes communication to phase 3 after SYNC_SET
setting.
