The Write Protect Function prevents a fixed data, such as pallet information or product information stored in memory in a tag, being
erased by careless writing.
By setting protect information in the tag, Write Protect can be enabled in any area (a maximum of two areas) of a specified address. If
you try to write anything into a write-protected page, a Protect error occurs.
The protect area information is set by using a part (address $0000 to 0003) of user data area.
To enable the Write Protect, write the protect area information into a specified address and specify "Protect Setting" with process desig-
nation parameter using a tag function setting command (TF). Similarly, to disable the Write Protect, specify "Disable" with the process
designation parameter.
