How data is notated in commands and responses
Data used in commands and responses can be notated in the three ways described below.
Hexadecimal data
X16
0
and 16
1
to indicate hexadecimal data.
(Example) Register contents in a data area read (RD) response
Decimal data
X10
0
and x10
1
to indicate decimal data.
(Example) Initial word contents in a data area read (RD) command
Decimal – hexadecimal data
In the relay numbers for external input (X), external output (Y), internal relays (R), and link relays (L), the
last digit is in hexadecimal notation, while the preceding digits are in decimal notation. (In T/C contact
numbers, all of the digits, including the last digit, are in decimal notation.)
In this case, the notation would read as follows:
X16
0
, x10
1
, x10
2
to
(Example) Specification of command contact of contact area lead (RCS)
Note:
Data is limited to a certain number of characters. For example, the contact number above is specified
using four characters, so when the X1F contact area is read, a 0 will be added at the beginning to fill out
the number of characters and form a four-character string.
