Chapter 4 Communication
Introduction
The CDS-3310 has one RS232 port and one Ethernet port. The RS-232 port can be configured to
speeds of up to 19200 baud. The Ethernet port is 10/100baseT.
RS232 Port
Configure your PC for 8-bit data, one start-bit, one stop-bit, full duplex and no parity. The Baud rate is
set by installing a jumper. The RS232 pin-out and jumper configuration is given in the appendix.
Ethernet Configuration
Communication Protocols
The Ethernet is a local area network through which information is transferred in units known as
packets. Communication protocols are necessary to dictate how these packets are sent and received.
The CDS-3310 supports two industry standard protocols, TCP/IP and UDP/IP. The controller will
automatically respond in the format in which it is contacted.
TCP/IP is a “connection” protocol. The master must be connected to the slave in order to begin
communicating. Each packet sent is acknowledged when received. If no acknowledgement is
received, the information is assumed lost and is resent.
Unlike TCP/IP, UDP/IP does not require a “connection”. This protocol is similar to communicating
via RS232. If information is lost, the controller does not return a colon or question mark. Because the
protocol does not provide for lost information, the sender must re-send the packet.
Although UDP/IP is more efficient and simple, Galil recommends using the TCP/IP protocol. TCP/IP
insures that if a packet is lost or destroyed while in transit, it will be resent.
Ethernet communication transfers information in ‘packets’. The packets must be limited to 470 data
bytes or less. Larger packets could cause the controller to lose communication.
NOTE:
In order not to lose information in transit, Galil recommends that the user wait for an
acknowledgement of receipt of a packet before sending the next packet.
Addressing
There are three levels of addresses that define Ethernet devices. The first is the Ethernet or hardware
MAC address. This is a unique and permanent 6 byte number. No other device will have the same
