Introduction

This appendix describes communication features
that the SIMPRO-100 Relay serial ports support
when they are configured for ASCII
communications. These functions are not
provided on the relay EIA-485 port when it is
configured for Modbus
Siemens relays have two separate data streams
that share the same EIA-232 serial port. The
relay supports communication with people using
ASCII character commands and formatted
responses that are intelligible using a terminal or
terminal emulation package. In addition, the relay
includes a class of compressed-ASCII commands
intended for use by the SIMPRO-PC software.
These command responses include ASCII
characters but are formatted in a way that makes
them more compact. They are typically better
suited to software analysis than analysis using a
terminal emulation package.
Interleaved with the ASCII data stream, the relay
can receive and respond to a set of binary
commands. This mechanism allows a single
communications channel to be used for ASCII
communications (e.g., transmission of a long
event report) interleaved with short bursts of
binary data to support fast acquisition of metering
data. The requesting device must be equipped to
execute the binary commands, then separate and
interpret the binary response. The binary
commands and ASCII commands can also be
accessed by a device that does not interleave the
data streams.
