    10.1.3 Examples for the formation of addresses Addressing e.g. a VS2k-UMB with the device ID (serial number) 0001 works as follows: Class ID for visibility is 3d = 3h Device ID (serial no.) is e.g. 001d = 001h By compiling the class with the device ID the following address will result: 3001h (12289d).
  • Page 12: Crc Calculation

    Start value: FFFFh (Warning! In contrast to earlier Lufft protocols, in this case the start value for CRC calculations is not 0h but FFFFh according to CCITT!!) Further information can be found in the description of a CRC in the UMB Protocol V1_0.

    – 65520d. From 65521d – 65535d various error codes are defined. Example: Request: &_12289_M_00601 With this request, channel 601 of the device with address 12289 (VS2k-UMB with the device ID 0001) is polled. Response: $_12289_M_00601_03456 With the scaling for visibility the following calculation then results:...
