8.5 USING THE SSPB SOFTWARE
The RS-232 and the RS-485 interfaces provide the serial communication between the user’s
monitoring and control system and the micro-controller within an SSPB Block Up-Converter.
The user may employ any RS-232 terminal communications software (like Term95 or
HyperTerminal) or the RS-485 serial communication protocol.

Before using the RS-232 Interface, become thoroughly familiar with the items listed in
TABLE 11 at page 33 and TABLE 12 at page 36.
Operate the SSPB via the RS-232 Interface as follows:
1. Switch on the power station’s circuit breaker to power up the SSPB.
2. Run any terminal program in the personal computer.
3. Use the following communication parameters:
- Bits per second: 19200
- Data Bits: 8
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
- Flow Control: None
4. After running the program in the computer and pressing the <Enter> key a display similar to
Figure 4 at page 32 will be shown.
5. If necessary, to change the status of the SSPB, use the commands listed in
TABLE 12 at page 36.
If the Hand Held Terminal model 8045 is used for the RS-232 communication with the unit, the
adequate configuration should be set. In order to set the configuration:
- While simultaneously pressing the CTRL, SHIFT keys press the F1 key.
- In the menu displayed use F1 key to change parameters, F2 & F3 keys to navigate, F4
key to quit (without changing parameters) and F5 key to save the changed values for
parameters. Type again F4 to exit the menu. The required values for parameters are:
-
BAUD RATE: 19200
- DATA BITS: 8
- PARITY: NONE
- STOP BITS: 1
