Frame Format - Hitachi HIDIC EH-150 Applications Manual

6.1.2

Frame format

The task code format of EH-ETH is shown in Figure 6.1.2. If you make an application program for host
computer, you should follow this format, which is different from the standard RS-232C protocol. The data
must be binary.
Cautions
EH-ETH can accept only binary data. ASCII data is not available.
Item
(a) (b)
(a) Termination command
H00: Normal operation. CPU will reply according to the requested task code.
HFF: If CPU receives the task code with HFF, the CPU will stop processing for the last task code sent from a
host computer. If there is no processing to be stopped, this command is ignored.
H01 to HFE: EH-ETH ignores the task code with term.command H01 to HFE
(b) Through no.
Any number available. CPU will reply with adding same through number as in the command from host
computer. You can use it for debugging or your own purpose so that host computer can handle several messages
easily at the same time.
(c) LUMP address
See 6.2.1 for detailed information.
(d) Request/Response task code
See EH-150 application manual (NJI-280*(X) "Appendix 3 Task Code Specifications".
Caution
- If EH-ETH receives the 2nd task code (2) before the 1st task code has not executed, EH-ETH will reply "busy
response" against the 2nd task code (2)'.
