Chapter 1. Overview 1 - 1 Overview This flame monitor, model AUR355 (hereinafter also “this device”), has RS-485 communication functions and can communicate with a PC, PLC, or other host device using a user-configured program. The communication protocol is CPL.* For example, if the host device is a PC, it is possible to use CPL to monitor the operating status of this device or to delete data via the RS-232C port or RS-485.

Data format Each setting is explained below. Each setting can be configured either in the setting mode of this device or with the Smart Loader Package. Note •...
Chapter 4. Communication 4 - 1 Overview of Communication Communication procedure The simplest way to describe the communication procedure is as follows. 1. The master station sends a command message to the specified slave station. 2. The slave station processes the message, which is a command to read or write data. 3.
Page 14
When the slave station responds, it adds its device address to the response message. z Subaddress The AUR355 does not use subaddresses. For this reason, set the subaddress to “00” (30H 30H). When the slave station responds, it adds the subaddress to the response message.
Page 15
Chapter 4. Communication distinction code as that of the received message to the response message and returns it. It is convenient to use X (58H) in messages the first time and use x (78H) for resent messages in order to distinguish them. z ETX ETX indicates the end of the application layer.
Chapter 4. Communication Application layer Configuration of application layer The table below shows the configuration of the application layer. Item Description Command RS (decimal format continuous address data read command) WS (decimal format continuous address data write command) RD (hex format continuous address data read command) WD (hex format continuous address data write command) RU (hex format random address data read command) WU (hex format random address data write command)
Chapter 4. Communication 4 - 2 Numerical Representation in the Application Layer Each numerical value must be expressed with unnecessary zeros suppressed. The following shows the specifications, including a case where zero is not suppressed. All master station command messages must be sent with unnecessary zeros suppressed. ...
Chapter 4. Communication 4 - 3 List of End Codes The result of the application layer processing of the command message can be understood from the end code of the response message. Results other than “Normal” are on two levels. “Error” is returned when nothing is processed, and “Warning” is returned when there is a possibility that some kind of processing was done.
Chapter 4. Communication 4 - 4 Timing Specifications Timing specifications for command and response messages When the master and slave stations are connected directly with RS-485, the following points regarding the timing of command/response messages from the master/slave stations must be observed. Response monitoring time The maximum response time from the end of command message transmission by the master station to the start of response message reception from the slave station...
