4.2
On-Board automation protocol.
4.2.1
Implimentation on RS232
A simple text based protocol has been implemented on the RS232 interface. All
text strings are shown in inverted commas; do not include them in the actual
command sent. Each byte within a text string must be sent within 10mS of each
other or the command will time out. This on-board protocol is not the same as the
geNETics protocol. Refer to the geNETics protocol in section 6 (Product
Automation) of the etherbox manual. GeNETics protocol is used to control a
number of processor cards using one connection.
The command set is as follows:
