Examples of value setting commands
• Signed value (Upper / lower limit value, scaling, trigger level, etc.)
Header
Example: When setting "-0.5", enter "-000.5000" in the data section "+&&&.&&&&".
• Value without a sign (Sensing distance, hysteresis, trigger delay or other time setting values)
Header
Example: When setting "99.0", enter "0099.0000" in the data section "+&&&&.&&&&".
Note: Be careful with the value setting command that characters (character sting)
that are different from the specified format are transmitted, they are set to zeros.

The header is followed by various commands.
ID address of the controller. The default address is "0".
To use linking functions with the optional controller
communication unit, an address must be entered for
each controller. Using the controller communication
unit, data can be loaded from or written to linked
controllers.
Character string indicating the data of various
commands. An instruction character string may be a 1
digit code or a setting value consisting of multiple digits.
