5. Start-up
5.5 RS 232 interface connection
The RS 232 interface has been designed for a cable connection
with 9-pin connectors and a contact assignment of 1:1.
Connection of the device:
1. Turn PC off.
2.
Fig. 22: Connect the connector [2] of the serial interface
cable [3] (not comprised in the scope of delivery) to the
socket [1] at the supply interface at the rear of the device.
3. Connect the remaining other connector [4] to an unassigned
slot COM 1/COM 2 etc. at the PC.
4. Turn PC on.
Transfer protocol:
The interface must be configured as follows:
9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Command sequences:
Data communication is achieved with a defined structure of
command sequences (frames).
Frame structure:
<STX | command | data | BCC | ETX>
Command:
Bit 0 - 3 = data field length in byte
Bit 4 - 7 = command
Check sum:
BCC = 1 - complement
(command XOR data XOR ... XOR dataN
XOR FF
H
)
Command list - Reading control loop data
Command:
0110 0001 (61
