APPENDIX C. UART COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL

Current manual describes firmware releases 25.6 and 25.67 (used in hydrocarbon sensors),

24.6 and 24.67 (used in CO

2

sensors). Sensor communication protocol is based on UART

interface. Sensor firmware could be updated or downgraded (e.g. to version 25.4/24.4). Contact
support for available compatible versions and instructions. Sensor is manufactured with firmware
version 25.6/24.6.

Appendix C.1. General information

Data exchange with MIPEX-02 sensors is performed via UART interface:



Sensor has symbol rate of 9600 baud.



Data format: 8-bit message, 1 stop bit, no parity checking.



Electrical parameters of UART are pointed in section 6.3.

General command format:



any command stated in this UM as <X>, where X stands for a command text consisted
of any number of characters, must be read and/or sent without the symbols “<” and “>”;



ASCII code for commands and most responses;



command ends

with carriage return symbol (hex: “0D”);



words and/or values in a response on most commands are separated by space symbol
(hex

: “20”) or in some cases by tabulation (hex: “09”);



all symbols in command must be sent as one word without delays;



sensor does not respond to incorrectly sent commands;



sensor has two operating modes (access levels): “OEM” and “USER”; “OEM” has
extended command set for developers, while “USER” mode is used for field operations.
