    53SL5100B Single-Loop Controller INSTRUCTION MANUAL Appendix B : Communications Two digital communication channels are provided with this instrument:  RS-232 serial configuration port, accessed via a 5 pin mini-DIN connector located under the pull- down door on the front panel (see Figure 1-2). It is used to configure instrument parameters for selected operational characteristics.

Communication Module Purpose: This module is used to configure the Datalink port parameters (e.g., baud rate, parity selection, etc.). Title Datapoint Setup Default Attribute It identifies the address of this instrument on the Instrument Datalink network.
  • Page 102 53SL5100B Single-Loop Controller INSTRUCTION MANUAL Protocol The Datalink protocol requires the host to initiate all transactions. There are two basic categories for all of the Datalink message types: Interrogate - used to read data from an addressed instrument, and Change used to alter a value in an addressed instrument.

ACKNOWLEDGE - This message signals the addressed instrument that its last echoed change message was received correctly; the instrument performs the change requested. 01111110 80H + I.A. INSTRUMENT TO HOST: 1. RESPONSE - This message furnishes the data requested by the INTERROGATE command of the Host.

    53SL5100B Single-Loop Controller INSTRUCTION MANUAL Appendix C: Database The database contains five datapoint types. Each datapoint type represents a specific data format: whole integers, alphanumeric text strings, etc. The datapoint types are defined in Table C-1 and the database is listed in alphanumeric order in Table C-2.
