Communication Protocol 

14

 

Notes: 

 

TC67U adds 3 spaces 
in the beginning of the response. 

 

TC67U returns decimal point 
even when the value is integer. 

 

#13 (CR) is byte 0x0D; 
#10 (LF) is byte 0x0A. 

 

The 

U

255

 command should be used 

only in case just 1 slave is presented.

Any 

Baud Rate

 value change 

through the communication 
interface also deactivates 
the device. 

Reading from a device 

 

If the frame consists of  
only 1 word, it is recognized 
as a command for reading.  

 

The device responds to it by 
returning the same word and 
its value, according to Table 2. 

Writing in a device 

 

If the frame consists of 
2 words, it is recognized  
as a command for writing. 

 

With writing, transferred  
are the same 2 words 
that would have been 
received at the respective 
command for reading  
from the device.  

 

After successful writing, 
the device responds with 
the respective command  
for reading, except for 
the 

baud

 

command. 

Other device responses 

 

When

the device substitutes any 
command for
