CobraNet Hardware User's Manual
Host Management Interface (HMI)
7.3
Protocol and Messages
The message conduit is used to issue commands to the CS181xx and retrieve HMI
status. The data conduit is used to transfer data dependent on the HMI state as
determined by commands issued by the host via the message conduit.
7.3.1 Messages
Messages are used to efficiently invoke action in the CS181xx. To send a message, the
host optionally writes to the A, B, and C registers. Writing to the D register transmits the
message to the CS181xx. A listing of all HMI messages is shown in
"HMI Definitions" on page 31
