  • Page 24 Protocol 2000 NOTE 6 – If INPUT is set to 127 for these instructions, then, if the function is defined on this machine, it replies with OUTPUT=1. If the function is not defined, then the machine replies with OUTPUT=0, or with an error (invalid instruction code).
  • Page 25 Protocol 2000 For example, to connect input 4 to output 3 after a delay, send HEX codes (set for delayed switch) (switch code) then, after the required delay, send HEX codes (execute delayed switch) to implement the switch. NOTE 19 – After this instruction is sent, the unit will respond to the ASCII command set defined by the OUTPUT byte. The ASCII command to operate with the HEX command set must be sent in order to return to working with HEX codes.
