14.3 Protocol
14.3.1 Transmission data configuration
Since up to 32 axes may be connected to the bus, add a station number or group to the command, data No.,
etc. to determine the destination servo amplifier of data communication. Set the station number to each servo
amplifier using the parameter and set the group to each station using the communication command.
Transmission data is valid for the servo amplifier of the specified station number or group.
When "*" is set as the station number added to the transmission data, the transmission data is made valid for
all servo amplifiers connected. However, when return data is required from the servo amplifier in response to
the transmission data, set "0" to the station number of the servo amplifier which must provide the return data.
