Default is 19200 baud.
Data Bits
The number of data bits value indicates how many bits represent each character transmitted or
received on the serial communications lines. There are only two options available, 7 or 8. The
recommended value, and default, is 8.
Stop Bits
This value is used to number of stop bits added to the end of a character transmission unit and
may be set to 1 or 2. The recommended value, and default, is 1.
Parity
Parity is a method of error checking during serial communications. Available selections:
NO
ODD
EVEN
MARK
SPACE
The recommended value, and default, is 8.
Numeric Parameters
An ASCII Begin Code and End Code must be designated for each message sent to and from the
serial port on the MC³ Controller. Since not all computers and protocols have the same Begin and
End Codes, an operator may wish to change them in order to attempt to communicate with non-
Merrick equipment. A specific controller number is used to identify each controller on the network.
Controller Number
This number is used to identify the numeric address of the controller when utilizing serial
communications on a multi-drop line. No controllers connected to the same communication line
should have the same controller number. Limits are minimum of 1 and a maximum of 64.
Comp Start Code
This value is always sent at the beginning of a communications message. This default value is 10,
for an ASCII representation of a Line Feed. To enter new values for this variable, use the arrow
keys to select you choice. Limits are minimum of 1 and a maximum of 127.
Comp End Code
This value is always sent at the end of a communications message. This default value is 13, for an
ASCII representation of a Carriage Return. Limits are minimum of 1 and a maximum of 127.
Communication Time-out
This parameter is the allowed limit of no communications activity on the serial port. If this value is
exceeded, there will be a Communications Lost General Alarm (page 13). Limits are minimum of 0
(turns off alarm) and a maximum of 1,000,000. When communications is lost, the controller takes
some automatic actions:
1. Remote analog inputs are set to OFF. See External physical I/O points on page 36.
