The Card ID is an assigned value. It is equal to 
the enclosure slot number in which the card is 
installed. The value can range from 1 to 4 up to 
1 to 20 depending on the enclosure. 

Card ID 0 (C0) is used for the controller. See 
the MT100-100 User’s Guide for details.

The Group ID is a number representing a group 
of cards defined with the [WR] command. When 
using the Group ID, all cards in the group will 
perform the given instruction.

Changing the position of a card will significantly 
affect the commands recorded on software 
definitions or third party control systems.

The Unit ID has a value from 0 to 9. Unit ID 0 
should be used for single unit operation. If the 
Unit ID is set to zero, each command may be 
used without Ui.  Use the command [SETU0], 
as explained in the MT100-100 User’s Guide.

Example:

[VERC3]:

For Unit ID Zero

[VERC3Ui]: For Unit ID other than Zero
[VERC3]:

Equivalent to [VERC3U0]

1.  

[VER]

This command receives the software version 
and card type for the 

MT104-100/103

card.

Command Format: [VERCnUi]

Cn = card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)

Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9)

Example:

There is one 

MT104-100/103

card is in slot #2 

of unit 3.  Send the command 

[VERC2U3]

, and 

the Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure will return:

MT104-100 690-0158-004

MT104-100 = card type

690-0158-004 = software version

2.  

[C]

This command receives the status of the card.

Command Format: [CnUi]

Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)

Ui

= Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9)

Example:

There is one 

MT104-100

card in slot #4. 

 

Sending the command [C4]

to the 

Multi-Tasker™ will yield the following feedback:

ON 4 C04

ON 4

= Output 4 is selected and enabled

C04    

= The card is in slot 4

If there is no card in slot #4, sending the [C4]
command will not return any feedback.

3.  

[CnS]

This command saves the current status of the
card.  This configuration will be restored after 
system is reset or powered off then on.  

Cn = card number (n = #1 to max slots)

S = save configuration

If Input 1 is enabled, the feedback after sending 
the command [C4S], for slot 4, would be:

ON:1 C04 Saved

4.  [?]

This command will return general information 
about the Multi-Tasker™ and cards installed in 
the unit.

Command Format: [?Ui]

Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)

Ui

= Unit ID (i = from 0 to 9)
