Appendix E Data Port Output

Culligan Premier Series Automatic DI Controller—Data Port Output
The DI Controller (DIGBE) is used to control the deionizer system. This controller has the ability to provide status mes-
sages to a customer's equipment using RS-232 and RS-485 communication protocols. These protocols are commonly
used to send information from the controller to either a customer's PC or to a building management system or program-
mable logic controller (PLC). The information is one way in that the controller can send this information out, but the con-
troller cannot receive or respond to any commands sent into the communication port. The controller sends a status mes-
sage every 60 seconds. The information is send as a short text (ASCII), comma separated string of letters and numbers.
Status Message Format
The format of the status message is: CULL,aaa.aa,bbb.bb,cccccc,dddddd,eeeeeeee,ffffffff,g,h,mmddyyhhmm
Example: CULL,000005.1,000000.0,0021094,0000000,0021094,0000000,0,2,0104101618
aaa.aa = flow rate tank1
bbb.bb = flow rate tank2
cccccc = gal since regen tank1
dddddd = gal since regen tank2
eeeeeeee = total gal since new tank1
ffffffff = total gal since new tank2
g = tank1 status (1, 2, 3 or 4; 1=service, 2=regen, 3=standby, 4=error)
h = tank2 status (1, 2, 3 or 4; 1=service, 2=regen, 3=standby, 4=error, U=set up as a single DIGBE)
mmddyyhhmm = time stamp; month, day, year, hours, minutes
Electrical Connections
The Culligan TTL to RS232 Data Cable (P/N 01021508) Connector is terminated with a D-sub9 style female termination.
The customer must provide the following RS232 pin connections:
Pin

3 (Input)
5 (Signal gnd)
The data coming from the DI Controller board is at the following conditions:
Bits Per Second: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None
