Description
ST
The start bit marks the start of the master call.
• 0: Valid start bit
• 1: Not permitted
SB
The control bit designates the call of data, parameters, addressing or commands.
• 0: Data/parameter/addressing call
• 1: Command call
Address
• 5 address bits contain the address of the slave to be called.
• Valid address range: 1 ... 31
Information
Depending on the call type, the information bits contain the information that is transmitted
to the slave.
• 5 information bits in standard addressing mode
• 4 information bits in advanced addressing mode
Advanced addressing mode:
• For the advanced addressing mode (for up to 62 slaves), an additional select bit has been
defined.
• This has been defined in order that an A slave behaves the same as a standard slave. An
A slave can also be operated in networks where the master cannot distinguish between
A and B slaves. A/B slaves can be recognised by the hexadecimal ID code "0xA".
• Valid address range: 1A ... 31A, 1B ... 31B
PB
Parity bit: The sum of all
1
bit states in the master call must be even.
EB
The end bit marks the end of the master call.
• 0: Not permitted
• 1: Valid end bit
