fbd
XXXXXX32x
Fieldbus codes 32 bytes of data 32xYY (for mode 2)
fbd
XXYY
Write fieldbus byte YY (address: XX = 00.1fh) (for mode 2)
fbx
Read fieldbus codes 32 bytes of data 32xYY (default for mode 1)
Old commands:
to standardize the command structure, some old commands with numeric parameters are replaced with new
ones with hexadecimal coded. The old commands still work, but should no longer used in reprogramming:
ms (Read temperature value, 5-digit. dec.)
mw
ez
(Response time, 1-digit. dec.)
et
lz
(Max. value, 1-digit. dec.)
lm in combination with lt
em (Emissivity, 2-digit. dec.)

gt
(Device temperature, 2-digit. dec.)
