Festo P.BE−GDCP−SFC−LACI−PB−E N en 0812NH
Checksum <PS> If checksum checking of telegrams received from the
SFC−LACI was activated (see CI object 20F3h), then the higher
level controller must also provide a checksum before the
termination character (CR = Carriage return) (for syntax,
seeTab.B/14).
If the SFC−LACI detects a deviation in the checksum, then −
instead of the usual response −
the value <0xFFFF> will be
transferred (see Object 2FF0h).
The checksum of the command is calculated based on the
case (upper/lower case). The checksum of the response is
always based on upper case.
Checksum <PS>
Calculation Sum of all ASCII characters sent, reduced to 1 byte.
W: <PS> = =IIIISS:<Value>" modulo 256
R: <PS> = ?IIIISS" modulo 256
Example:
Command =IIIISS:<Value><CR>
