RS-232 SERIAL OUTPUT
The asynchronous serial interface (ordering code US-232) is normally used to transfer the
data to a printer or to other devices having a SLAVE function.
The transmission parameters are fixed and are the following:
•
SPEED OF TRANSMISSION 9600 BAUDS
•
DATUM LENGTH 8 BITS
•
ONE STOP BIT
•
NO PARITY BIT
The SLAVE must be set with the same parameters. To activate the function:
X
and/or
Key
and/or
and/or
1 0. 8 4 8 0
®
Y
and/or
LED of axes activated will blink
Z
press
and the transmission will take place. Data has the following format:
= DIGITAL READOUT =
AXIS X :
57 . 0865
AXIS Y :
10 . 8480
AXIS Z :
- 7 . 0985
UNIT : INCH
Instead of printing the label, it is possible to request the readout to send back the displayed
values.
The request of sending these values back is made in ASCII mode through the serial line as
follows:
“Q” + CR + LF
Answer (for example X =57.0865, Zo=10.8480, Z= -7.0985) is made in the
following format (9 data cha 2 control character)
“ 57.0865” + CR + LF
“ 10.8480” + CR + LF
“ -7.0985” + CR + LF
where
CR
means
=
CARRIAGE RETURN (0Dh)
LF
means
=
LINE FEED (0Ah)
