5.2 ASCII
5.2.1 Basics ASCII
ASCII data communication is a simple kind of data exchange that may be compared to a
multicast/broadcast function. Individual telegrams are separated by means of character
delay time (ZVZ). Within this time the transmitter must have sent its telegram to the
receiver. A telegram is only passed on to the host system if this was received completely.
The receiving station must acknowledge the receipt of the telegram within the "time delay
after command" (ZNA) or command window that was defined in the sending station.
These time stamps may be used to establish a simple serial communication link. Since
during ASCII transmission apart from the usage of the parity bit no further step takes
place for data protection, the data transfer is very efficient however not secured. With the
parity the inversion of one bit within a character may be secured. If two or more bits of a
character are inverted, this error may no longer be detected.
