A 5 ASCII Communication with Controller
A 5.1 General
The ASCII commands can be sent to the controller via the RS422 interface or Ethernet (Port 23). All commands, inputs
and error reports are in English. A command always consists of the command name and zero or several parameters that
are separated with a space and end in LF. If spaces are used in parameters, the parameter must be placed in quotation
marks, e.g. "Password with space".
Example: Switching on output via RS422
OUTPUT RS422
Note: Must contain LF, but can also be CR LF.
Explanation: LF Line feed (hex 0A)
CR Carriage return (hex 0D)
Enter (depending on system, hex 0A or hex 0D0A)
The currently set parameter value is reset if a command is invoked without parameters.
The output format is:
<Command name> <Parameter1> [<Parameter2> [...]]
The response can be used again without changes as a command for setting the password. Optional parameters are only
returned as well if this is necessary.
After a command is processed, a line break and a prompt ("->") is always returned. In the event of an error, an error
message beginning withExx, where xx stands for a unique error number, comes before the prompt. Moreover, instead
of error messages, warning messages ("Wxx") may be output. Warnings are structured like error messages, such as "If
Xenon lamp is too hot...". Warnings do not prevent commands from being executed.
