Write a value to the pump 3 Safety It is responsibility of the user to ensure that all pressure equipment used with the Mitos P-Pump complies with all relevant directives and guidelines. Always use suitable personal protective equipment – e.g. safety glasses and shields etc. – when dealing with pressurised gases.
• If the new COM port cannot find a driver, force it to install the standard FTDI serial port driver version 2.8.14 or later. This is available from Dolomite Support. The RS232 protocol settings for the pump are: 57600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no handshaking.
The Dolomite Centre Ltd. Issuing another control pressure command sets a new target but the pump stays in the CONTROL state. If your application issues a control pressure command when the pump is in any other state, the command will be rejected and the pump will continue its current operation.

The Dolomite Centre Ltd. • Parse the actual response. o For “s” commands, parse out all the pump data and present to your application GUI for display, logging etc. See section 6.3 for details. o OK acknowledgments of other commands probably require no further action.

The Dolomite Centre Ltd. Command Description Pump State Control Mode (before after) (before after) Response “#A0” If pump does not receive any command, e.g. a status query "s", for 30 seconds it will automatically return to manual mode. Your application sends this to move the pump ERROR out of ERROR state and back into IDLE.

The Dolomite Centre Ltd. Field Description Current flow rate in pl/s. Requires a connected Mitos Sensor Display flow meter. Note the actual accuracy is given by flow sensor type below. Contact Dolomite Support for more information on this feature. Target flow rate in pl/s. Requires a connected Mitos Sensor Display flow meter. Contact Dolomite Support for more information on this feature.

The Dolomite Centre Ltd. The ERROR state must be explicitly cleared by sending the “C” command and subsequently confirming the state with “s”. Below is a diagram showing where the pressure target errors come into force for systems with positive and negative supply pressures.
The Dolomite Centre Ltd. seen above, so when converting these values for display you need to convert the units from pl/s to the units for the flow sensor in the table above and then pay attention to the number of decimal places it supports.
