Example: [VERC3U2]

VER

= Function

C3

= Card ID or Group ID

U2

= Unit ID (optional for Unit ID 0)

For Function, see a detailed explanation under
each command description.

The card ID is a unique identifier. It is equal to
the enclosure slot number, or it may be an
assigned value. As the slot number, the value
can range from 1-4 up to 1-to-20 depending on
the enclosure. If the value is assigned, the ID
may be a maximum of 99. Card ID 0 (C0) is
used for the controller and cannot be
reassigned.

The group ID is a number representing a group
of cards defined with the [WR] command. When
using the group ID, all cards in the group will
perform the given instruction.

NOTE: In this manual, cards will be referenced
by their ID (C1, C2...C99). Typically, the ID
number will be equivalent to the slot number.
Groups will be referenced by their ID (G1-G8).

Changing the position of a card will significantly
affect the commands recorded on software
definitions or third-party control systems.

The unit ID has a value from 0 to 9. Unit ID 0
should be used for single unit operation. If the
unit ID is set to zero, each command may be
used without Ui. Use the command [SETU0], as
explained in the MT100-100 User’s Guide.

Example:

[VERC3]:

For Unit ID Zero

[VERC3Ui]: For Unit ID other than Zero

[VERC3]:

Equivalent to [VERC3U0]
