9.2.2 Details of Commands

"SEND" described in this chapter indicates the commands given from external devices to PV500. On the other
hand, "Receive" indicates the responses for the sent commands from PV500 to external devices.
About Block Check Code(BCC)
All command messages are added with a block check code, which checks an error using horizontal parity to
improve reliability of transmission data. This manual describes a block check code as "BBC".
As a block check code of PV500, a code that is given by removing a terminal code from Exclusive OR (8-bit) of
a command message and converting it into ASCII code (two letters) is used.
If you do not employ block check, add it to "**" (2AH2AH) instead of a block check code.

About Response at Error
When sending a command message from the external device, an error response message containing 3-digit
error code may be returned. This message is returned when the sent command is wrong or PV500 cannot
receive the command.
The response differs depending on commands except the following common responses. Refer to the
descriptions of each command.
