DL8000 Preset Instruction Manual
Revised February-2016
Communications Protocols
D-41
End Batch
[0x0D]
Exceptions
No batch is authorized
Batch is in progress but not stopped (No batch
halted exception)
Manual operation mode
Supporting
Parameters
None
Results
If batch ends, the DL8000 sets the Batch Ended
flag to indicate that the batch has ended (which
implies that the batch cannot be restarted). If
archive module is running, it archives the batch
data before ending the batch, displaying "Archiving
Batch" and “Please wait” messages. After
archiving completes, the DL8000 displays a
“Please wait” message and waits for the next TAS
command.
Setting the Batch Ended flag signals the TAS to
request batch data.
If the batch aborts, the DL8000 sets the Batch
Aborted flag, reduces by
1
the batch sequence
number [63,0,125], and does not perform
archiving. The DL8000 then displays a “Please
wait” message and waits for the next TAS
command. The TAS can also use a Timeout
Operation command [0x05] to abort a batch
Clear the Batch Ended and Batch Aborted flags
using the Clear Status command [0x13].
Deviations
The original DanLoad 6000 protocol does not
support aborting a batch using the End Batch
command.
Implements a No Batch is Authorized
exception in place of the No Batch in
Progress. Also implements exceptions for
Batch in Progress but Not Stopped.
Start/Restart
Batch
[0x0E]
Starts a new batch that has been authorized but is not in progress or restarts
a batch in progress that has been stopped. A batch must have been
previously authorized using the Authorize Batch command [0x0A] in order to
start a new batch. For restarting a halted batch, the batch must be halted
without any active alarm having severity more than info.
Use this command to “remote control” a DL8000 when an operator cannot be
in the proximity of the DL8000. In these circumstances the TAS can entirely
control the DL8000, which may not even be fitted with a display or keypad.
