A1: Introduction If you need to use your own Software Control program from a PC or WORKSTATION with an RS-232 or LAN port, the device allows communication through an ASCII code protocol. The device treats any character that it receives on the RS-232 or LAN as a possible command but only accepts legal commands. There is no starting/ending code needed in a command string.

A [write command] is made of indexes followed by the numerical value followed by the command characters. Write command = [[index,] ...] + Value + Character (s) code (s) For example: “1,2,0IN” or “4YB” A [read command] is made of indexes followed immediately by the command characters. (no numerical value) Read command = [[index,] ...] Character (s) code (s) For example: “1,2,IN”...

A4: Error codes Answer: E10<CR><LF> which mean invalid command Answer: E11<CR><LF> which mean index value error (index value out of range) Answer: E12<CR><LF> which mean index number error (too or few indexes) Some commands are only available as [Read command], they are status and are colored in blue as this line. Some commands are colored in yellow as this line to indicate they were added or modified in this version.
