5-2-1 CompoWay/F Binary Commands
CompoWay/F binary commands use hexadecimal values for the CompoWay/
F frames, and not ASCII. Therefore, the data volume is about half of Compo-
Way/F ASCII commands. The following restrictions apply.
• Read Controller Attribute (05 03), which includes ASCII in the Compo-
Way/F frame, cannot be used.
The following command and response formats are used when executing
CompoWay/F binary commands from an OMRON Master.

Note Specify the same value as the destination node address. Broadcasting cannot
be specified.

5-2-2 CompoWay/F ASCII Commands
When CompoWay/F ASCII commands are used, the CompoWay/F frames
are expressed in ASCII (each digit in a specified numerical value is also con-
verted to ASCII, so 52 is specified as ASCII 3532).
The following command and response formats are used when the commands
are executed from an OMRON Master Unit.
