Comparison Principle
With display conversion, comparison is performed with the data contained in the file, and the display
contents is changed to the registered text strings for characters that match.
Matching processing is performed in order starting from the beginning of the file. Once a match is
found, no further comparisons are made, i.e., matching processing is affected by the entry order.
Therefore, when comparing complicated patterns, make sure that the optimum order is used.

Data read with no-protocol commands using the serial communications interface is output as 2
characters of ASCII.
The ASCII characters correspond to the following characters.
Examples:
• When the read data is A, 41 is output.

FCS Calculation Method
■ FCS Calculation Method
The FCS (Frame Check Sequence) is the result of taking the XOR for each byte
between the header and footer (8 bits) and converting it to 2 characters of ASCII.
The FCS can be attached to output data to improve the reliability of communications.
Each time data is received, the host calculates the FCS and checks it against the FCS
attached to the sent data so that the send data can be checked for errors.
■ Calculation Example for Sending FCS

The maximum quantity of information that can be stored depends on the symbol size of the code.
Also the maximum data capacity in relation to the amount of information carried by the code
depends on the character type and the arrangement and combination of characters. The relation
between the symbol size (number of cells) and data capacity is shown in the following table.

Maximum Data Capacity
Even with the same 2D code, the maximum quantity of information that can be stored depends on
the symbol size of the code.
In other words, the symbol size must be increased to increase the data capacity.
The data capacity also depends on the type of characters used for the information contained in the
code. With QR and DataMatrix Code, the maximum number of characters for the same symbol size
will be greatest for numbers only and then for alphanumerics, and will be the least with 2-byte
characters.
The data capacity also depends on the character type, and the order and combination of characters
used.

Certain Precautions on Specifications and Use
1. Suitability of Use. Omron Companies shall not be responsible for conformity
with any standards, codes or regulations which apply to the combination of the
Product in the Buyer’s application or use of the Product. At Buyer’s request,
Omron will provide applicable third party certification documents identifying
ratings and limitations of use which apply to the Product. This information by
itself is not sufficient for a complete determination of the suitability of the Product in combination with the end product, machine, system, or other application
or use. Buyer shall be solely responsible for determining appropriateness of
the particular Product with respect to Buyer’s application, product or system.
Buyer shall take application responsibility in all cases but the following is a
non-exhaustive list of applications for which particular attention must be given:
(i) Outdoor use, uses involving potential chemical contamination or electrical
interference, or conditions or uses not described in this document.
(ii) Use in consumer products or any use in significant quantities.
(iii) Energy control systems, combustion systems, railroad systems, aviation
systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, vehicles, safety equipment, and installations subject to separate industry or government regulations.
(iv) Systems, machines and equipment that could present a risk to life or property. Please know and observe all prohibitions of use applicable to this Product.
NEVER USE THE PRODUCT FOR AN APPLICATION INVOLVING SERIOUS
RISK TO LIFE OR PROPERTY OR IN LARGE QUANTITIES WITHOUT
ENSURING THAT THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO
ADDRESS THE RISKS, AND THAT THE OMRON’S PRODUCT IS PROPERLY RATED AND INSTALLED FOR THE INTENDED USE WITHIN THE
OVERALL EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM.

3. Performance Data
and other materials is provided as a guide for the user in determining suitability and does not constitute a warranty. It may represent the result of Omron’s
test conditions, and the user must correlate it to actual application requirements. Actual performance is subject to the Omron’s Warranty and Limitations
of Liability.
4. Change in Specifications
changed at any time based on improvements and other reasons. It is our practice to change part numbers when published ratings or features are changed,
or when significant construction changes are made. However, some specifications of the Product may be changed without any notice. When in doubt, special part numbers may be assigned to fix or establish key specifications for
your application. Please consult with your Omron’s representative at any time
to confirm actual specifications of purchased Product.
