Introduction General safety instructions DANGER Warning concerning installation of the device and software Installation of the device and the interface must be carried out by qualified personnel only. Qualified personnel meets the following requirements: • You are familiar with the safety designs used in automation engineering, and understand how to deal with them in your capacity as configuration engineer.
EN 61000-3-3:2013 Notes on CE labeling burster equipment carrying the CE mark meets the requirements of the EU directives and the harmonized European standards (EN) cited therein. The EU declarations of conformity are available to the relevant authorities as specified in the directives.
General communication info ® The DIGIFORCE 9307 lets you control certain device functions from a remote host and read out all evaluation and measurement results. There are two communication modes to choose from: USB or Ethernet (UDP protocol). The configuration parameters for each port can be found in operation manual ®...

Now you can type in the required commands consecutevely into the field Character to send and then click on Send Characters. Here is an example for the INFO? command (see details in section “Fast selection”): Yor can execute commonly used commands via the function keys F1-F8 of your PC. Please use the Command Configuration fields to store the desired command: of 503...
Communication via the USB port The USB port is on the front of the device and is protected against dirt behind a screw-in cover (see figure on the left). Before accessing the device via the USB port, you have to install an FTDI driver for the OS environment first.
General procedure under Windows Open COM port Configure COM port (set baud rate, data/stop bits, parity, timeout) Send/receive data Close COM port 3.2.1 The communications protocol ANSII standard X3.28-1976 Subcategory 2.5, A4 is used as the communications protocol. This standard is used in systems in which a number of secondary stations exists in a non-switched multipoint connection, and all commands are sent by a control station.
3.2.3 Selection with response The control station sends a "selection supervisory sequence". The selection supervisory sequence is used to initialize the 9307 as a slave so that it is subsequently possible to send commands to it. The prefix calls up a single secondary station. <ENQ> defines the end of the selection supervisory sequence.

Does the 9307 have other queries saved for which a response can now be sent? 9307 replies with: <EOT>...
3.2.4 Fast selection Instead of selection with response, the master station can send a selection supervisory sequence without <ENQ>. This will designate a secondary station as the slave station. It then initiates data transfer directly without waiting for the acknowledge response from the secondary station. This method requires the device address to be appended to each command.
3.2.5 Polling The control station sends a polling supervisory sequence. The polling supervisory sequence is used to retrieve requested data from the 9307. The prefix selects a single station. <ENQ> defines the end of the polling supervisory sequence: The polling supervisory sequence of the 9307 has the following format: <Address>po<ENQ>...

Communication via the Ethernet port The Ethernet RJ45 port is on the rear side of the device. Please use a Cat 5e or higher patch cable to connect the device to your Ethernet network. The relevant Ethernet parameters like IP address and port number can be found in the following device menu: Config(F5)->Config(F5)->Basic setup menu->Interface setup->Ethernet->More Figure 4: USB port...

Note: Yor can execute commonly used commands via the function keys F3-F8 of your PC. The ® fileds F1 and F2 are preconfigured for the INFO? commands of DIGIFORCE 9310 and ® DIGIFORCE 9307/9311 and can not be changed. Please use the Command Configuration fields to store the desired commands in the F3-F8: of 503...
Commands Before executing individual commands, you should first familiarize yourself with their structure. Every command has a name that always consists of four letters. When data are read out of the device, a question mark (e.g. INFO?) is appended to the command name. This is an exclamation mark (e.g. STAN!) when data are being written.
