1 Step 1. Understanding what is FMB640 RS232/RS485 TCP Link mode

2 Step 2. Setting parameters in the configurator for TCP Ascii mode test

3 Step 3. Establishing FMB640 test link with the server through Hercules

Step 1. Understanding what is FMB640 RS232/RS485 TCP

Link mode

In this mode link with an external device (for example PC) using text messages can be established.

FMB640 has to be connected to the external device through RS232 or RS485. Any string of data

coming to RS232 or RS485 will be routed to the server (if the link is currently active). Messages that

are exchanged between FMB device and server, have to be packed in Codec.12 format. Here for TCP

link establishment, we will be using Hercules. For sending messages from external devices to

servers over FMB640 Terminal will be used.

Step 2. Setting parameters in the configurator for TCP Ascii

mode test

First of all, in the FMB640 configurator you have to set parameters for RS232 or RS485 (depends on

which RS232 or RS485 port you are using) in the global parameters window.

Page 2 Here in the RS232 settings section, Baudrate can be chosen for any available. The mode has to be chosen for TCP Ascii. 2.1. Message Timestamp Message Timestamp parameter is used to determine if it is necessary to include a timestamp in the RS232 TCP packet when sending it to the server.

Sending from server to external device over Hercules When sending a message from Hercules, first you have to pack it in Codec.12 format. If you want to send a message to an external device over FMB640from the server, a packed message should be pasted into the Send field in Hercules (Figure 2, marked field 3).
Page 4 Step 5. Sending from external device to server over Terminal For testing data sending from external device to server, enter the text you want to send on Terminal and press send. You can check if data is received to a server in Hercules. Sample text: Hello, lets test TCP link mode. Please keep in mind, that special chars (ASCII Names) need to be marked.
