3.5 Description of codes
n The codes from ① STX, ② address to ⑩ ERR as indicated below are expressed in ASCII
codes.
n For the ASCII codes, see "9. Table of ASCII codes."
n For conversion to ASCII codes, see "4. Examples of TOHO communications."
① STX
This code is needed for the receiver to detect the top of the message. It is affixed to the top
of a character string to be sent.
② Address
This is the address of the party (this product) with whom a high-level computer
communicates. The address in the response message from this product indicates the sender
of the response message. Note that, when CH2 is used, two addresses are occupied. (Setting
ADR to 1 causes this product to occupy addresses 1 and 2.)
③ Contents requested
Enter a code R or W.
R: to read data from this product
W: to write or store data in this product
④ Identifier
An identifier is a classification code (identifier) for data to be read or written and expressed
in a three-digit alphanumerical ASCII code. See "10. Table of identifiers (codes)."
⑤ Numerical data
At the time of writing or reading, 5-digit numerical data can be written.
Example: The table below indicates the significances of 5-digit numerical data 00010.
Example Significance of the value
Proportional band (P) →1.0%
Data (PV), etc, whose decimal point can be shifted
When the decimal point setting (DP) is 0 10
When the decimal point setting (DP) is 0.1 1.0
If DP = 0.1, the numerical data "12000" means 1200.0. In the case of text data, it is "□□INP." (The □
is a space.)
⑥ ETX
This code is needed for the receiver to detect the end of a message. It is affixed to the end of
a character string to be sent (except for BCC).
⑦ BCC
This is a check code for error detection and is the exclusive OR (EX-OR) of all characters
from STX to ETX.
If the BCC check is set to "Disabled" in the communications settings in this product, this
code (BCC) will not be incorporated in the response message. See "2. Settings regarding
TOHO communications."
11
Page 12
⑧ ACK
It is an acknowledge code. If a message received by this product is error-free, this code will
be incorporated in the "response message" from this product and returned.
⑨ NAK
It is a negative acknowledge code. If a "request message" received by this product is
error-ridden, this code will be incorporated in the "response message" from this product and
returned.
If the "request message" received is error-ridden, the error contents (⑩ ERR type) will be
incorporated in the "response message" from this product, following NAK.
⑩ ERR type
If a "request message" received from this product is error-ridden, the error contents (either
of the numbers in the table below) will be incorporated in the "response message" from this
product, following "⑨ NAK."
The error number 0 is an instrument error (memory error or A/D conversion error). It will
be incorporated in the "response message" regardless of whether there is an error in the
"request message."
The error number 9 is an AT error. It will therefore be incorporated in the "response
message" regardless of whether there is an error in the "request message." Remove the
cause of the error immediately and start the AT again.
If there are two or more errors occurring at the same time, the largest error number will be
incorporated.
The table below indicates the error contents and classifications.
Error No.
0 Instrument error (memory error or A/D conversion error)
1 The numerical data deviated from the "range of settings designated specifically with setting
items."
2 The change of requested items is disabled or there are no items to be read.
3 An ASCII code other than the numerical data was specified in the field of numerical data.
An ASCII code other than numbers and "-" was specified in the field of codes.
4 Format error
5 BCC error
6 Overrun error
7 Framing error
8 Parity error
9 A PV error occurred during AT. Or AT will not end 3 hours later.

3.6 Communications precautions
3.6.1 Communications timing
Set a sufficient response delay to make sure that this product is switched over from transmission to
reception with regard to a high-level computer in using an RS-485.
See the figure in "3.1. Communications procedure" and "2.8. Setting a response delay."
3.6.2 Interval between requests
In transmitting a series of "request messages" from a high-level computer, allow for an interval of
1msec or more from the reception of a "response message" from this product to a next
transmission.
3.6.3 Response conditions
This product will not return a "response message" unless it receives a "request message" containing
an STX and ETX (BCC).
If, therefore, the "request message" is error-ridden, this product will not return a "response
message" (error reply) containing a NAK and ERR unless the conditions mentioned above are met.
Therefore transmit the necessary "request message" again if a "request message" is sent to the
high-level computer but the latter does not return a "response message" at the end of an appropriate
period.
The moment this product receives an STX, it clears all codes received before that.
3.6.4 Errors in address specification
This product will not respond to any "request message" that specifies an address other than that
specified for itself. If, therefore, the address portion of a "request message" is error-ridden, none of
the mobile units will return a "response message."
Therefore transmit the necessary "request message" again if a "request message" is sent to the
high-level computer but the latter does not return a "response message" at the end of an appropriate
period.
The moment this product receives an STX, it clears all codes received before that.
3.6.5 Number of digits in data and the decimal position
See "3.5. Description of codes, ⑤ Numerical data."
3.6.6 Operation after receiving a store request message
This product starts to store data after correctly receiving a store request message from a high-level
computer.
This product only stores data different from the contents of the EEPROM (data that is changed).
The time (TW) required for storing data is within 6 seconds.
This product transmits a storage-complete reply (ACK) when the data is stored.
This product will not guarantee that the data is stored if this product is turned off during a storage
operation. Do not turn off this product for 6 seconds after transmitting a store request message.
3.6.7 Operation after turning on the power
This product will not perform communications (no response) for about 4 seconds after it is turned
on. Allow for a delay until communications is started after this product is turned on.
13
Page 14
3.6.8 Storing data other than a store request message
Store all parameters in the EEPROM in either of the two cases described below, even if no store
request message is received.
1) If a parameter is changed by key operation
2) If auto-tuning is started and ends normally.
3.6.9 Changing the settings (SV or SV2) by communications during auto-tuning
Even if the settings (SV or SV2) used in control for auto-tuning are changed by communications,
the settings (SV or SV2) will not be changed until the auto-tuning ends.

Enter a code 03H, 06H, or 10H.
03H: To read data from this product
06H: To write or store data in this product (multiple)
10H: To write or store data in this product (single)
c) Register address
The locations of the data to be read or that to be written are specified in 2 bytes.
The data is written in the holding register.
For the addresses of the commands, see "10. Table of identifiers (codes)."
d) Number of registers
This specifies the number of registers to be written in. Since this product has a fixed number
of registers (which is 2), specify 0002H.
23
Page 24
e) CRC-16
This error check code is for detecting message errors. This transmits a CRC-16 (tour
redundancy code).
The multinomial for generating a CRC-16 used in this product is X16+X15+X2+1.
To learn how to calculate the CRC-16, see "6.7. Example of CRC-16 calculations."
To affix an error code at the end of the message, affix the low-level byte first, then the
high-level byte of the CRC.
f) Number of data
This specifies the number of registers to be read and written x 2. Since the number of
registered in this product is fixed at 2, specify 04H here.
g) Data portion
This specifies data to be written in the register. The data is fixed at 4 bytes. This product
In the case of text data, write the ASCII code "□INP" (□ is a space): 2049E50H.
h) Error code
If a message from a high-level computer is error-ridden, it will be incorporated in the
"response message" from this product and returned.
The error number "04" is an instrument error (memory error or A/D conversion error, AT
error). It will be incorporated in the "response message" regardless of whether there is an
error in the "request message."
If there are two or more errors occurring at the same time, the largest error number will be
incorporated.
The table below indicates the error contents and classifications.
Error No. Error contents in the "request message" received by this product
01 Received an unsupported function code.
02 Received an address other than the specified one.
03 The numerical data deviated from the "range of settings designated specifically with
04 Instrument error (memory error or A/D conversion error, AT error)
setting items."

6.6 Precautions on RTU communications
6.6.1 Communications timing
Set a sufficient response delay to make sure that this product is switched over from transmission to
reception with regard to a high-level computer in using an RS-485.
See the figure in "5.1. Overview" and "5.7. Setting a response delay."
3.6.2 Interval between requests
In transmitting a series of "request messages" from a high-level computer, allow for an interval of
1msec or more or 3.5 character minutes, whichever the longer, from the reception of a "response
message" from this product to a next transmission.
6.6.3 Response conditions
If there is a time interval of 3.5 characters or more between data items constituting a "request
message," this product cannot recognize it as a "request message." It will therefore not return a
"response message." If, therefore, the "request message" contains an error, this product will not
return a "response message" (error reply) containing an ERR unless the above conditions are met.
Therefore transmit the necessary "request message" again if a "request message" is sent to the
high-level computer but the latter does not return a "response message" at the end of an appropriate
period.
The moment a period of 3.5 characters or more has elapsed, it clears all codes received before that.
6.6.4 Errors in address specification
This product will not respond to any "request message" that specifies an address other than that
specified for itself. If, therefore, the address portion of a "request message" is error-ridden, none of
the mobile units will return a "response message."
Therefore transmit the necessary "request message" again if a "request message" is sent to the
high-level computer but the latter does not return a "response message" at the end of an appropriate
period.
6.6.5 Number of digits in data and the decimal position
See "6.5. Description of RTU codes, g) Data portion."
6.6.6 Operation after receiving a store request message
This product starts to store data after correctly receiving a store request message from a high-level
computer.
This product only stores data different from the contents of the EEPROM (data that is changed).
The time (TW) required for storing data is within 6 seconds.
This product transmits a storage-complete reply after the data is stored.
This product will not guarantee that the data is stored if this product is turned off during a storage
operation. Do not turn off this product for 6 seconds after transmitting a store request message.
6.6.7 Operation after turning on the power
This product will not perform communications (no response) for about 4 seconds after it is turned
on. Allow for a delay until communications is started after this product is turned on.

6.6.8 Changing the settings (SV or SV2) by communications during auto-tuning
Even if the settings (SV or SV2) used in control for auto-tuning are changed by communications,
the changes (SV or SV2) will not be changed until the auto-tuning ends.
6.7 Example of CRC-16 calculations
Following is an example of calculating CRC-16 with VisualBasic6.0.
Variables are declared as shown below.
VisualBasic6.0 cannot use code-free variables. It therefore uses code-equipped 16-bit integer
variables as data. Similarly, the CRC calculation results are entered into code-equipped 32-bit
integer variables.
Dim CRC As Long
Dim i, j, arry_count As Integer
Dim c_next, c_carry As LongDim crc_arry(64) As Integer
Then enter calculable data into the crc_arry(), and enter the number of data items into the arry_count.
After that, run the following program to cause the calculation results to enter the CRC.
i = 0
CRC = 65535
For i = 0 To arry_count
c_next = crc_arry(i)
CRC = (CRC Xor c_next) And 65535
For j = 0 To 7
c_carry = CRC And 1
CRC = CRC ¥ 2
If c_carry Then
CRC = (CRC Xor &HA001) And 65535
End If
Next
Next
To affix an error code to the end of the message, affix first the low-level byte and then the high-level
byte of the CRC.

6.10 Description of ASCII codes
n The codes from a) start code to b) slave address to j) error type described below are expressed
in ASCII codes.
n For ASCII codes, see "9. Table of ASCII codes."
n For converting to ASCII codes, see 6.8 and 6.9 "Message composition."
a) Start code
The receiver side is the code required for detecting the top of the message. It is affixed to
the top of a character string to be transmitted.
b) Slave address
This is the address of the party (this product) with which the high-level computer
communicates. The address in the response message from this product represents the
source of the response message. Note that, when CH2 is used, 2 addresses are occupied.
(When the ADR is set to 1, addresses 1 and 2 are occupied.)
c) Function code
Enter a code 03H or 10H.
03H: To read data from this product
10H: To write or store data in this product
d) Number of registers
This specifies the number of registers to be written in. Since this product has a fixed
number of registers (which is 2), specify 0002H.
e) Register address
The locations of the data to be read or that to be written are specified in 2 bytes.
For the addresses of the commands, see "10. Table of identifiers (codes)."
f) LRC
LRC is an error check code for detecting message errors. An LRC is transmitted. The LRC
used in this product is the 2-complement of the sum of the data portions without a carry,
except for the start code and end code of the message.
The parts of the data portions expressed as a "1" and "B" are considered as "1BH."
To learn how to calculate the LRC, see "6.12. Example of LRC calculations."
If 12H is calculated as an error code, affix a "1" or "2" at the end of the message.
g) End code
This code is required for the receiver to detect the end of a message. Affix CR (0DH) and
LF (0AH) at the end of a character string to be transmitted.
h) Number of data
This specifies the number of registers to be read and written x 2. Since the number of
registered in this product is fixed at 2, specify 04H here.
30
Page 31
i) Data portion
This specifies data to be written in the register. The data is fixed at 4 bytes. This product
In the case of text data, write the ASCII code "□INP" (□ is a space): 2049E50H.
j) Error code
If a message from a high-level computer is error-ridden, it will be incorporated in the
"response message" from this product and returned.
The error number "04" is an instrument error (memory error or A/D conversion error, AT
error). It will be incorporated in the "response message" regardless of whether there is an
error in the "request message."
If there are two or more errors occurring at the same time, the largest error number will be
incorporated.
The table below indicates the error contents and classifications.
Error No. Error contents in the "request message" received by this product
01 Received an unsupported function code.
02 Received an address other than the specified one.
03 The numerical data deviated from the "range of settings designated specifically with
04 Instrument error (memory error or A/D conversion error, AT error)
setting items."

6.11 Precautions on ASCII communications
6.11.1 Communications timing
Set a sufficient response delay to make sure that this product is switched over from transmission
to reception with regard to a high-level computer in using an RS-485.
See the figure in "5.1. Overview" and "5.7. Setting a response delay."
6.11.2 Interval between requests
In transmitting a series of "request messages" from a high-level computer, allow for an interval of
1msec or more or 3.5 character minutes, whichever the longer, from the reception of a "response
message" from this product to a next transmission.
6.11.3 Response conditions
This product will not return a "response message" unless the "request message" contains a start
code and end code.
If, therefore, the "request message" contains an error, this product will not return a "response
message" (error reply) containing an error code unless the above conditions are met.
Therefore transmit the necessary "request message" again if a "request message" is sent to the
high-level computer but the latter does not return a "response message" at the end of an
appropriate period.
The moment a start code is received, this product clears all codes received before that.
6.11.4 Errors in address specification
This product will not respond to any "request message" that specifies an address other than that
specified for itself. If, therefore, the address portion of a "request message" is error-ridden, none
of the mobile units will return a "response message."
Therefore transmit the necessary "request message" again if a "request message" is sent to the
high-level computer but the latter does not return a "response message" at the end of an
appropriate period.
The moment a start is received, this product clears all codes received before that.
6.11.5 Number of digits in data and the decimal position
See "6.10. Description of ASCII codes, i) Data portion."
6.11.6 Operation after receiving a store request message
This product starts to store data after correctly receiving a store request message from a
high-level computer.
This product only stores data different from the contents of the EEPROM (data that is changed).
The time (TW) required for storing data is within 6 seconds.
This product transmits a storage-complete reply after the data is stored.
This product will not guarantee that the data is stored if this product is turned off during a storage
operation. Do not turn off this product for 6 seconds after transmitting a store request message.
6.11.7 Operation after turning on the power
This product will not perform communications (no response) for about 4 seconds after it is turned
on. Allow for a delay until communications is started after this product is turned on.

6.11.8 Changing the settings (SV or SV2) by communications during auto-tuning
Even if the settings (SV or SV2) used in control for auto-tuning are changed by communications,
the changes (SV or SV2) will not be changed until the auto-tuning ends.
6.12 Example of LRC calculations
Following is an example of calculating LRC with VisualBasic6.0.
Variables are declared as shown below.
VisualBasic6.0 cannot use code-free variables. It therefore uses code-equipped 16-bit integer
variables as data. Similarly, the LRC calculation results are entered into code-equipped 16-bit
integer variables.
Dim LRC As Integer
Dim i, arry_count As Integer
Dim lrc_arry(128) As Integer
Then enter calculable data into the 1rc_arry(), and enter the number of data items into the
arry_count. After that, run the following program to cause the calculation results to enter the LRC.
For i = 0 To arry_count
LRC = (LRC + lrc_arry(i)) And &HFF
Next
LRC = ((Not LRC) + 1) And &HFF
If the error code is calculated as 12H as an example, affix a "1" or "2" at the end of the message.
