  • Page 37: Rtu Port

    Messages from the host to the RTU are unconstrained in length. Messages from the RTU to the SDT 5000 may be up to 8 Kbytes long. Messages from the host to the RTU are not buffered and are transmitted as they are received. If the flow control prevents the data from being sent to the RTU the X25 data packets will not be acknowledged and the connection will timeout.
  • Page 38 A nonvolatile option is available for the SDT 5000 which provides 32 Kbytes of storage for the RTU originated data. If the nonvolatile storage is not used the RTU data is lost when the SDT 5000 is powered down or reset.
  • Page 39 RTU from sending unsolicited data to the host. The host can still connect to the SDT 5000 and send and receive data from the RTU. If the buffer message flag is YES any data sent by the RTU will be buffered until the host connects.
  • Page 40 SDT 5000 User Manual Document MBUD-0109v11 End of message idle The end of message idle timer is used to terminate a message based on the timer inter-character timeout. If no character is received for more than the end of message timer the message is terminated. The end of message idle timer is measured in seconds with 1 decimal place.
  • Page 41 The default value is NO. RTU buffer message If the RTU data must be buffered by the SDT 5000 even when the data cannot be sent to the host the RTU buffer message flag must be set to YES. If the RTU buffer message flag is set to NO the data will be discarded after the number of retries has been exceeded.
  • Page 42 NONE. If the RTU bound flow control is set to RTS when RTS is dropped the SDT 5000 stops sending data to the RTU. When the RTU RTS is raised the SDT 5000 resumes sending data to the RTU.
  • Page 43 If the DCD mode is CONNECTED the DCD line on the RTU port will be asserted when the SDT 5000 has a connection with the host. Data set ready (DSR) The DSR mode controls the output of DSR with the following values:...

  • Page 49: Optional Ethernet Port

    7. OPTIONAL ETHERNET PORT The SDT 5000 can be configured with a factory option to provide a 10 Base-T Ethernet port. The Ethernet port can be used as either a host connection or an RTU interface. The interface is wired as a standard medium dependant interface (MDI).

  • Page 50: Power Modes

    Power off mode is requested by deasserting the ignition line. The SDT 5000 is not running when in power off mode and must be powered on with the ignition line to resume operations. All RTU data will be ignored when in power down mode.

  • Page 51: Continuous Mode

    In Standby mode the processor is active but the transceiver is off. Standby mode is generally the most power efficient mode that does not lose RTU data. The SDT 5000 will draw less than 20 mA while sleeping. The total power consumed will depend on the duty cycle of sleep time to wake time.

  • Page 52: Figure 7 - Polled Mode Operation

    SDT 5000 User Manual Document MBUD-0109v11 Unlike Standby mode, scheduled events do not automatically turn on the transceiver. The transceiver is only turned on based on outgoing calls or the poll interval. The duty cycle is based on the underlying communication retries such that the wake period will correspond with one of the communication retries.
