Introduction Scope of this manual This manual provides operational instructions for the Edwards serial communication protocol. Read this manual before you attempt to operate your product using serial communication protocol. For safety and operating information, please refer to the relevant product Instruction manual.
A73501860 Issue B The pump can be connected directly to the RS485 or RS232 serial input on your control equipment or a PC, using a suitable connector mating half (not supplied). Full serial control is realised by using the following two signal lines: serial enable and RS232 / RS485 control inputs.
A73501860 Issue B Technical data Logic interface The connector has a male 15-way D-type logic interface connector located on the user interface panel (Figure 2, Item 2). The logic interface connector can be plugged directly into your control equipment or a PC using a suitable connector mating half (not supplied).

A73501860 Issue B Table 2 - Logic interface technical data Logic interface description Connector 15-way D-type (male) Start, serial enable and remote enable: Enable control voltage: low (closed) 0 to 0.8 V d.c. (l = 0.55 mA nominal) Disable control voltage: high (open) 4 to 26.4 V d.c.
A73501860 Issue B Connection for serial control and monitoring The serial interface allows you to control the pump and to interrogate its operational status using a number of serial commands. There is also a multi-drop mode that allows you to connect more than one pump to a single serial port on your control system.

Pump logic interface Serial enable To send a serial message you must first activate serial enable. This is achieved by linking the serial enable input signal (pin 5) to pin 2 of your logic interface mating half.
A73501860 Issue B Message structure The message structure and command set are the same for RS485 and RS232 options. To communicate a message to the pump you must send the characters in a specific order. If the message does not conform to the correct structure it will be ignored and no reply will be sent.

A73501860 Issue B Multi-drop operation Using multi-drop mode, a single computer system can communicate with more than one pump. Each pump must be assigned its own individual address, or node, before it can be fitted into a multi-drop system. The command to assign the multi-drop address is sent in standard message format and is detailed in Section 3.7.1 below.
A73501860 Issue B 3.7.1 Assigning a multi-drop address When you receive your pump it will have multi-drop mode disabled by default. Each individual pump must be programmed with its own multi-drop address, via a point-to-point connection, before introduction into a multi-drop network.
A73501860 Issue B Mixed parallel and serial operation You can control the pump using the parallel interface control inputs and at the same time monitor various pump parameters using the serial interface. Alternatively you can control the pump using commands sent over the serial interface and at the same time monitor the normal signal using the parallel interface.
A73501860 Issue B Decoding status words 3.9.1 Decoding system status word If you are using the serial communications link you will be able to access further information that may be useful for fault finding. When you send a query to monitor measured motor speed, the pump also returns a system status word. The send command is as follows: Command You will receive the following reply, where the first returned number refers to motor rotational speed in revolutions...
