1 INTRODUCTION
All Autostart AS705S, AS710S and AS730S controls fitted with
firmware versions V1.0 or higher have a serial communication
port, accessed through a 9 way D-connector at the unit’s rear.
This port, when used with other hardware accessories, may be
used to set up a communication link between an Autostart and a
PC running Murphy software model AS7CK. This software may
then be used for the monitoring, control and programming of any
Autostart in the range.
The information in this document is current for:-
•
AS705S units with firmware V1.00 – V1.06(a)
•
AS710S and AS730S units with firmware V1.00 – V1.09(a)
•
(obsolete) AS720S units with firmware V1.00 – V1.05
•
AS7CK software version V1.07
Firmware and software versions before or after these revisions
may contain more, less or reconfigured features. If in doubt,
please contact our technical sales department for up to date
product information and compatibility details.
Further details on specification, installation and operation of the
Autostart range can be found in the following documents:-

2 HARDWARE
2.1 Hardware Accessories
Several standard communication components are available,
combinations of which allow the link to be ‘local’ (an RS232 link of
less than 10 metres) or ‘remote’ (by use of RS232 modems and the
telephone network):-
Model No. Description
AS7CA
9 way to 9 way serial (null modem) lead, for local
communication where the PC has a 9 way COM port.
AS7CB
9 way to 25 way serial (null modem) lead, for local
communication where the PC has a 25 way COM port.
AS7CC
RS232 interface unit for local communication only
AS7CD
RS232 interface unit for remote communication, via
modems and the telephone network. AS7CD may
also be used for local communication.
AS7CK
Autostart - PC communication software (V1.07)
The AS705S only supports a local type link. The AS710S, AS720S
and AS730S support either local or remote modem links. All
applications require one interface unit (of the correct type) and
software model AS7CK installed on a PC. Local communication
also requires one of the two serial leads listed above (AS7CA or
AS7CB).
‘Remote’ communication requires the use of two modems and
modem leads (not available from Murphy) and a connection to
the public switched telephone network (PSTN).
Note: modem
leads are normally supplied with each modem, and are NOT the
same as the serial leads used for local communication. The
modem lead at the Autostart/generator site must have a 9 way
D-connector, allowing connection to interface unit AS7CD.
