13.1.2 Messages
Messages
Messages are used to exchange information between
the controller and the GS200. Messages that are sent
from the controller to the GS200 are called program
messages, and messages that are sent from the
GS200 back to the controller are called response
messages.
If a program message contains a message unit that
requests a response (a query), the GS200 returns
a response message upon receiving the program
message. The GS200 returns a single response
message in response to a single program message.
Program Messages
Data that is sent from the controller to the GS200 is
called a program message. The program message
format is shown below.
<PMT>
;
<Program message unit>
<Program Message Unit>
A program message consists of one or more program
message units; each unit corresponds to one
command. The GS200 executes the commands in the
order that they are received.
Separate each program message unit with a
semicolon.
For details on the syntax of program message units,
see the next section.
