CompoWay/F Master Protocol
Appendix B
Communications Specifications
Transmission Procedure
The PC or host computer serving as the master sends a command and the component serving as the slave
returns a response for the command message contained in the command. One response message is returned
for each command message. The movement of command and response messages is shown below.
Command and Response Formats
Note In the following diagrams “Hex” indicates hexadecimal values. Values in quotation marks, such as “00”
indicate ASCII characters.
Command Format
Response Format
Note 1.
Data is not saved in the response if there is a command frame error (i.e., if the end code is not 00 or
0F).
2.
Other values are possible for the subaddress and SID.
