Communication Overview
To communicate with Nucomm equipment a standard ASCII byte-oriented packet is
used over an RS232 link.
RS232 settings:
BAUD: 9600 (Default) Unit is selectable
DATA: 8
STOP: 1
Flow: None
Packet outline:
<NU><Target address><source address><><Length><command><data>
Command String:
NU
–
ASCII code for N <4Eh> and U <55h>
<tt>Target address (00
–
99): This is the address of the unit. (Default = 01)
<ss>Address of source (00
–
99):
This is the address of the master controller. (Nucomm’s controller uses 00).
Packet length (Range: 02-17 (Command Data Length))
Command (00-FF)
Data (Hex Format)
<checksum>
–
(1’s complement of <Target address> to end of data)
<CR> - Carriage Return

the “<> “’s has been added to the packet for visual deli
miters only and do not appear on
