Page 38: Appendix A - Sabus
Redundancy Controller Page Appendix A – SAbus This appendix describes the Serial Monitor and Control protocol for the serial remote control interface. The SAbus provides monitor and control capability and some flexibility not available in customized systems solutions. General Protocol Description The SAbus interface is a multi-drop, balanced line, asynchronous, full-duplex communications link that interconnects equipment for remote control and switching applications. -
Page 39: Data Format
Redundancy Controller Page Wavestream Modified SAbus SAbus data format supports industry's standard asynchronous ASCII format as shown in the comparison to the Wavestream modified SAbus protocol below. Industry standard SAbus protocol Wavestream SAbus Protocol Asynchronous ASCII Asynchronous ASCII Start bits... - Page 40 Redundancy Controller Page Response messages are identical to command messages in format with the exception of the acknowledge (ACK) and not-acknowledged (NAK) character at the start of the message instead of STX. A command or reply message may vary in length; it may have a maximum of 200 bytes including delimiters and checksum.
- Page 41 Redundancy Controller Page At least a 10-bit time delay must be inserted between command messages in order to wake up a remote device. Once the device is awakened by data on the bus, it looks for STX followed by its address.
- Page 42 Redundancy Controller Page State Diagram Notation In the state diagram each state that a device can assume is represented graphically as a circle. The single-digit number in the circle identifies the state. All permissible transitions between states are represented graphically by arrows between them. Each transition is qualified by a condition that must be true in order for the transition to occur.
- Page 43 Redundancy Controller Page State Name Description State response message to a master/controller within 100 milliseconds after receiving the last character of the message. A device will always exit State 5 and enter State 1 - Device Idle State. Packet Structure Data and information from the controller to the unit is transmitted in packets.
- Page 44 Redundancy Controller Page Master-Slave Communication All communication is initiated by the Master. The M&C will never initiate communication; it will only respond. Communication is via a 4-wire RS-485. The M&C receiver is always active. The transmitter is activated to send a reply, then it is deactivated. This allows multiple units to exist in parallel.

Page 48: Appendix B - Ethernet
The TCP-Based protocol is a simple encapsulation of the serial protocol into TCP packets which allows the Wavestream GUI to talk to the unit via Ethernet. Instead of using a COM port and running over a serial link, the GUI encapsulates commands into TCP packets on port 10001 and receives response TCP packets from the unit. -
