Protocol frames
List box: 1C,2C,3C,4C
Default = 1C
One of the possible C24 Protocol frames can be selected.
•
Frames format
List box: Format1,Format2,Format3,Format4,Format5
Default = Format1
One of the possible C24 Frames formats can be selected. According to the C24 protocol specification,
it is possible to set Frames formats 1-4 for Protocol frames 1C-3C and formats 1-5 for 4C.
Note: The RipEX accepts only the set Protocol frames and Frames format combination. All other
combinations frames are discarded by the RipEX and not passed to the application.
•
Local ACK
List box: Off, On
Default = Off
Available for Protocol frame 1C only. When
On
, ACK on COM1(2) is send locally from this unit, not
over the Radio channel.
RP570
RP570 is a serial polling-type communication protocol used in Master-Slave applications.
When a RipEX radio network runs in the Router mode, multiple RP570 Masters can be used within
one Radio network and one Slave can be polled by more than one Master.
Underlined parameters are described in

Local simulation RB
List box: Off, On
Default = Off
The RP570 protocol Master very often transmits the RB packets (hold packets) solely to check
whether slaves are connected. In order to minimize the Radio channel load, the RipEX can be
configured to respond to these packets locally and not to transmit them to the slaves over the Radio
channel.
If
On
, the RipEX responds to RB packets received from the RP 570 master locally over the COM
interface. However from time to time (RB period) the RB packets are transferred over the network
in order to check whether the respective slave is still on. When the RB response from the slave to
this RB packet is not received over the Radio channel within the set RB timeout, i.e. the respective
slave is out of order, the central RipEX stops local answering to RB packets from the master for the
respective slave.
