11-3 Communication Command Specifications
On the SRCP30 controller, a command interface resembling the BASIC programming language is
provided as standard, to facilitate easy communication with a PC. Communication commands are
divided into the following four categories:
1. Robot movements
2. Data handling
3. Utilities
4. Special codes
Format: (except for special codes)
@<operation code> [<operand 1>][,<operand 2>][,<operand 3>]c/r l/f
■
Basically, all of the commands begin with the start code '@' (=40H) and end with the code c/r
(=0DH) l/f (=0AH). These two codes signal the controller that the statements between them
constitute one command line. (The special codes are the only ones that do not require a start or
an end code.)
■
A communication command is basically composed of an operation code and an operand. De-
pending on the command statement, either no operand is used, or up to three operands are
used.
Items in [ ] (brackets) can be omitted.
■
The character codes used in the SRCP30 controller, are the JIS8 unit system codes (ASCII
codes with katakana characters added). Input characters can be upper case or lower case.
■
One or more space must be inserted between the operation code and the operand.
■
Items with the < > marks should be specified by the user. Check the description of each
communication command and enter the appropriate data. (Refer to "11-5 Communication
Command Description".)
■
When two or more operands are entered, insert a comma (,) between them.
An example is shown below.
