SeaI/O User Manual
(0x47) Set Communication
The Set Communication command can be used two different ways. The first method
is a direct one-to-one communication with a single SeaI/O module. This requires a
Get Config request to obtain the Magic Cookie byte. However, to easily change the
communication parameters of multiple SeaI/O modules at the same time, the Set
Communication operation can be broadcast to all daisy-chained modules. A sample
transaction is shown with an assumed Magic Cookie byte of 0xCA, which is only
required for one-to-one communication.

Upon a successful Set Communication operation, the SeaI/O module will respond
with the same packet it received. An exception can be generated if one of the
following conditions occurs:
• The baud rate is not within the range [1, 0A] (Hex)
• The parity rate is not within the range [0, 2]
• The Magic Cookie is invalid (one-to-one communication only)
