16 | Model ta3000F Gas Purity Monitor
ta3000 PLC Output Format
The concentration data, status, and other detail information is sent from
port 2 of the ta3000 automatically at the end of every run. The format
used is called Comma Separated Variable or CSV. This format is one of the
common MS EXCEL formats.
The fields within each record are defined in Table 1. Fields 1 – 6 are the
record identification fields and fields 7 & 8 are the impurity fields.
The next impurities will be at fields 9 – 10, 11 – 12, 13 – 14, 15 –16, and 17
– 18. This string is terminated by a CR, carriage return, and LF, line feed,
characters.
The parameters are 9,600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.
The following defi nes each fi eld:
DDDD-DD-DD TT:TT:TT,#,R,S,A,EEEEEEEE,NNNNN,C, …
DDDD-DD-DD = Date (2000-03-23)
TT:TT:TT = Time (12:23:44)
# = Analyzer Serial Number
R = Run or Maintenance (Calibration) Mode
A = EDL or Single Analysis Mode
S = Stream Number
EEEEEEEE = Eight digits of error status (0=Not Error, 1=Error)
