Section 5
Data transfer mechanism
1. Floating point data (4 bytes) send sequence is low byte first, high byte last, such as section 4's data
DATA1, ALARM1, ALARM2 etc.
2. Broadcast command - when network master broadcast a command to RS485 bus, every unit
connected to the bus has to perform the action immediately without reply. Whether the command has
been performed or not can be tested using a specific sensor command to poll an individual unit. If
some sensor heads do not perform the action the network master needs to rebroadcast the command
again.
3. Specific unit sensor measured gas concentration request. Once a sensor head measures a new
concentration it will set STATUS1 b7 to zero indicating the value is valid. However, when the new
data has been sent out the STATUS1 b7 DATA_UNVALID bit will set to 1 indicating the data not valid.
4. Timing issue (VERY IMPOTANT): The master request command frequency can't be less than 1
second per command; otherwise, the network will be unstable.
