  • Page 4: Control Commands

    1. CONTROL COMMANDS This Chapter describes methods of using various commands for controlling the UCAM-60C or UCAM- 65C Data Logger (hereinafter, the UCAM). This Chapter is essential for compiling your own original control software. 1-1 INTERFACE The UCAM provides RS-232C and Ethernet ports for connection to a PC. Select either of the interface ports and set accordingly as described below.

  • Page 5: In The Case Of Ucam-65C

    1-1-1-2 In the Case of UCAM-65C Select a desired interface by setting bit 8 of the dip switch as follows: OFF (0) Ethernet ON (1) RS-232C External I/F OFF (0): Ethernet ON (1): RS-232C Baud rate OFF (0) : 9600 baud OFF (0) ON (1): 19200 baud OFF (0)

  • Page 6: Rs-232C Interface

    (2) Place the UCAM in RS-232C environment by setting the following parameters: • Baud rate, termination code and time-out time. In the case of the UCAM-60C, refer to “3. INTERFACE SETTING.” In the case of the UCAM-65C, 1) Set bit 8 of the dip switch to ON (1).
  • Page 7 Cable RS Cross Cable Frame Frame UCAM (D-Sub 9-pin, female) (D-Sub 9-pin, female) NOTE An interlink cable for communication between PC and PC cannot be used for connection be- tween the UCAM and the PC, since the wiring of the interlink cable is different from that of the RS cross cable.

  • Page 8: Control Command Format

    (6) Data Length: 8 bits (fixed) (7) Parity: None (fixed) (8) Stop Bit: 1 bit (fixed) (9) Time-out Time: 5 sec or 50 sec (50 sec is UCAM-60C only ) Notes: 1. Not compatible with XON/XOFF control. 2. Not compatible with send break characters.

  • Page 9: Ethernet Interface

    1-1-3 Ethernet Interface The UCAM is equipped with the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX (IEEE 802) interface for connection to the PC. The communications protocol is TCP/IP (Ipv4). For sending and receiving control commands in the application program, the network communications socket library is used. If your PC operates on Microsoft Windows 7, 8 or 10, it provides the socket library “Microsoft Windows Socket API”...
  • Page 10 (1) When directly connecting to the PC LAN cable (Cross-wired, conforming to category 5) • Use a cross-wired LAN cable of category 5 or higher. • The cross-wiring should be as follows. (2) When connecting to the network via hub or the like LAN cable (Straight-wired, conforming to category 5) •...

  • Page 11: Setting Ucam To Ethernet

    When using an existing Ethernet environment, consult the network manager about setting values, etc. For the UCAM-60C, set the Ethernet parameters through the front panel keys, referring to “3. INTERFACE SETTING.” For the UCAM-65C, use a USB memory to read and change the communication setting condition file, then change the IP address by importing the file into the UCAM-65C.
  • Page 12 (4) Editing the communication condition file Insert the USB memory into a PC and open the “interfaces” file in the ”_ucam_get_config” folder in the Notepad. The IP address setting on the UCAM side is 192.168.0.65. Change this number to the IP address that you want to set in the UCAM-65C. The upper 3 groups of the IP address to change need to be set to the same numbers as the PC side.

  • Page 13: Confirmation Of Correct Connection

    1-1-3-3 Confirmation of Correct Connection A. Confirmation by Hardware The Ethernet port of the UCAM provides 2 LED lamps, which enable confirmation of correct connec- tion by hardware. Turn ON the UCAM. If Ethernet connection is correct, one LED lights up and the other flickers (irregularly).
  • Page 14 3) Communication is carried out 4 times and the results are displayed on the window. • When communication is normally performed IP address of UCAM Results (Normal) • When communications errror occurs IP address of UCAM Results (Error) If correct connection for Ethernet communication is confirmed by both hardware and software but control on a practical application is not available, •...

  • Page 16: Socket Programming

    1-1-3-5 Socket Programming The application program which operates a remote control program on Microsoft Windows can be com- piled using a network application socket library. Use the WinSock when compiling the application pro- gram which operates on Microsoft Windows. The program can be compiled in any programming language for development, such as Microsoft Visual C++, which can be used by the WinSock library.
