Step 1b - Set appropriate outputs power-up states LOW
MSpups = MSpups AND (NOT(mask))
LSpups = LSpups AND (NOT(mask))
By "ANDing" the current power-up states with the complement of
the appropriate
mask
of a digital output line, the power-up state's
data bit will be set to a "0" (LOW).
Step 1c - Completing the command string:
Cmnd$ = "!" + CHR$(Maddr) + "SS" + CHR$(MSpups) +
CHR$(LSpups)
Step 2 - Transmitting the command string:
Print #1, Cmnd$;
Example 5.5 - Set Output #5's power-up state HIGH and Output
#13's power-up state LOW on module #4.
'Set module address to 4.
Maddr = 4
'Set bit 0 of LSpups to make Output #5's power-up state HIGH.
LSpups = LSpups OR &H20
'Clear bit 4 of MSpups to make Output #13's power-up state LOW.
MSpups = MSpups AND (NOT(&H20))
Cmnd$ = "!" + CHR$(Maddr) + "SS" + CHR$(MSpups) +
CHR$(LSpups)
PRINT #1, Cmnd$;
MSIO$ = INPUT$(1,#1)
Module's #4 output line #5's power-up state will be set HIGH and
output line #13's power-up state will be set LOW. All other output
power-up states will not be changed.
Set Module Address Command
The Set Module Address command is used to change the
address of the 485SDD16. This command requires a data byte.
The data byte is used to specify the new address of the module.
Step 1 - Construct the command string:
Cmnd$ = "!" + CHR$(Maddr) + "SA" + CHR$(Naddr)
Where
Maddr
if the module's current address and
Naddr
is the
module's new address.
Step 2 - Transmitting the command string:
Print #1, Cmnd$;

Example 5.6 - Change the address of module with a current address
of 4 decimal to the new address of 5 decimal.
Maddr = 4
Naddr = 5
Cmnd$ = "!" + CHR$(Maddr) + "SA" + CHR$(Naddr)
Print #1, Cmnd$;
Set Turn-around Delay Command
The Set Turn-around Delay command is used to set the amount
of time the module will wait after receiving a command before it
sends the response message. This ensures that no two
communication drivers will be enabled at the same time, and is
necessary when multiple modules share the same communica-
tion lines. The command requires one data byte to specify the turn-
around delay. Refer to this command in Chapter 3 for more
information.
Step 1 - Construct the command string:
Cmnd$ = "!" + CHR$(Maddr) + "SC" + CHR$(Ntdly)
Where
Maddr
if the module's address and
Ntdly
is the module's
new turn-around delay.
Step 2 - Transmitting the command string:
Print #1, Cmnd$;
Example 5.7 - Set the turn-around delay of module #5 to 10
character times.
Maddr = 5
Ntdly = 10
Cmnd$ = "!" + CHR$(Maddr) + "SC" + CHR$(Naddr)
Print #1, Cmnd$;
