ATTENTION: When controlling discrete outputs
locally using AUX port configuration, suspend host
communications to prevent outputs from
unintentionally changing state.

Command Format

The general structure and definitions of all commands is shown
below. The structure shows the high and low byte of each data word
(word

=

2 bytes). Data is always transmitted with the low byte of each

data word first and then the high byte. In the command explanations
below, MSB stands for Most Significant Bit, and LSB stands for
Least Significant Bit.

CMD

Byte 0 specifies the command to perform.

Bits 0, 1, 2 and 3 of the CMD byte contain the command code.
The options are:

0001(01H) = Unprotected Read Command

1000 (08H) = Unprotected Write Command

0110 (06H) = Diagnostic Command

Bit 6 is cleared (0) for the command and set (1) for the reply.

Bit 4, 5, and 7 are always zero.

To send an unprotected write command, CMD byte 0 would look
like this:
