STANDARD Communication Protocol ENGLISH 1. INTRODUCTION This manual provides information on the STANDARD communication protocol. The publication is not intended for general use, but for qualifi ed technicians. This term indicates a professional and skilled technician, authorised to act in accordance with the safety standards relating to the dangers posed by electric current.
STANDARD Communication Protocol ENGLISH 2. SYMBOLS In the manual and on the device, some instructions are highlighted by symbols to draw the reader’s attention to the operational dangers. These symbols are the following: DANGER! This warning indicates the possible presence of voltage exceeding 1kV on the marked terminals (even for short periods).
STANDARD Communication Protocol ENGLISH 3. DESCRIPTION 3.1 Communication The protocol specifi cations defi ne the data sequence, the programming sequence and the check codes, necessary for a proper data communication. This protocol allows the communication between the PC (master) and the instrument (slave). The protocol uses an half duplex connection on a single line.
STANDARD Communication Protocol ENGLISH WARNING In an instruments network, the $00 code can be used only for sending write commands. An interrogation would generate a simultaneous response from all of the instruments, with the possibility of malfunctions. 3.3 Data request sequence By the master, a data request sequence is sent to the instrument (slave) to read information on the device (measured values, programmed parameters,...).
STANDARD Communication Protocol ENGLISH 3.3.1 Response sequence When the instrument, with the corresponding Serial Number or Logical Number, received a read command, it replies with the following message. <STX>+380.0<SP>..<ETX><BCC> [begin block character] [data block] [end block character] [check character] [begin block character] It is always <STX>...
STANDARD Communication Protocol ENGLISH 3.4 Parameter setting sequence By the master, a programming sequence is sent to the instrument (slave) to change specifi c parameters (instrument confi guration). The following description shows the correct sequence of characters for a proper command. <STX>SA1T120050W84=0A<ETX>($67) [begin block character] [instrument identifi...
STANDARD Communication Protocol ENGLISH 3.4.1 Response sequence When the instrument, with the corresponding Serial Number or Logical Number, received a write command, it replies with the following message. <STX>E000<ETX>($74) [begin block character] [data block] [end block character] [check character] [begin block character] It is always <STX>...
STANDARD Communication Protocol ENGLISH 4. COMMANDS NOTE The * symbol indicates a parameter available only when the instrument includes the relevant option. NOTE NUL indicates a parameter which is not available. In this case, the instrument sends “-” characters. 4.1 Measured values (codes valid for reading only) Command Description R3D.01...
