A 3 ASCII Communication with Controller
A 3.1 General
The ASCII commands can be sent to the controller via the RS422 interface or Ethernet (Port 23). All commands, inputs
and error messages are in English. A command always consists of the command name and zero or more parameters,
which are separated by spaces and are completed with LF. If spaces are used in parameters, the parameters must be
placed in quotation marks, e.g. "password with spaces".
Example: Switch on the output via Ethernet
OUTPUT ETHERNET
Advice: must include LF, but may also be CR LF.
Declaration: LF Line feed (line feed, hex 0A)
CR Carriage return (carriage return, hex 0D)
Enter (depending on the system hex 0A or hex 0D0A)
The currently set parameter value is returned, if a command is activated without parameters.
The output format is:
<Command name> <Parameter1> [<Parameter2> [...]]
The reply can be used again as command for the parameter setting without changes. In this case, optional parameters
are returned only where necessary.
After processing a command, the system always returns a line break and a command prompt. In the event of an error,
an error message starting with "Exxx" will appear before the prompt, where xxx represents a unique error number. In
addition, the system may display a warning ("Wxxx") instead of an error message.
Warnings are structured analogously to error messages. Warnings do not prevent commands from being executed.
