Communications parameter
Default RS232 settings:
Baudrate:
19.200
Databit:
8
Stopbit:
1
Parity:
None
Default LAN settings:
Network Protocol:
TCP
Control port:
5000 (Only one active connection at a time)
LAN to RS232 port 1 gateway port: 5010 (Only one active connection at a time)
LAN to RS232 port 2 gateway port: 5011 (Only one active connection at a time)
Control from the RS232 port is enabled by default. When connecting to a LAN control port the
RS232 ports converts to LAN-RS232 gateways and they can not be used to control the Relay -
8. The only way to get back to RS232 control is by cycling power.
Command
When entering all the commands in the Neets Device Editor software, select “Chr/ASCII” as input
format. To understand the commands below please keep this in mind:
Symbol:
Description:
<A>
When constructing the command, this part must be replaced with a
sting or number.
<B>
When constructing the command, this part must be replaced with a
sting or number.
\CR
Every command line must end with a carriage return.
Carriage return is commonly referred to as “CR” or if you need to enter
it in hex, the value is 0D and in decimal, it is 13.
“,” or ,
When making a command it consist of several parts.
Each part is separated with a comma.
E.g. NEUNIT=1,RELAY=1,ACTION=SET,TIME=10.5
Please be aware that all the RS232 commands are case sensitive. If the Relay – 8 detects an
error in the command line, the entire command will be ignored.
Sending multiple commands is possible without time delay between commands. Just remember
that each command must end with \CR.
If you are looking for a complete list of commands already made, look at the premade device driver
found in the Neets device driver library.
Saving the settings. When adjusting the settings of the Relay – 8, it is important
to save the settings that you want the Relay – 8 to use after the next power
cycling. This is done with the save command. You can find more information
regarding the save on page 15.
