SIDERMES Measuring Equipments

- SIDERTOP DATA TRANSMISSION WITH SIDERMES PROCEDURE (EPROM SD 148)

DATA TRANSMISSION CHARACTERISTICS: - ACTIVE CURRENT LOOP: 20mA (half duplex - 4 wires) active transmission, passive receipt. With proper selection on the related PC board, it is possible to obtain transmission and receipt both passive. - TRANSMISSION SPEED: 600 Baud - ASCII CHARACTERS: 7 bits + 2 stop bits + parity even - PROTOCOL: Polling type - HANDSHAKE obtained in the following way: The host computer sends the inquiry character ENQ. The equipment answers with NAK if no transmitting characters are present, or with the sequence of characters indicated below. The host computer, after receiving the Message and the validity check, sends back the character ACK. The equipment receives the character ACK and realizes the transmission was OK. If ACK is not received the Message will be re-transmitted after the following ENQ. CONTROL CHARACTERS USED: ASCII ENQ ACK NAK EOT MESSAGE SEQUENCE: ASCII (1) - Valid temperature measurement - Character before ID digits - 6 (six) ID digits - 4 (four) measure digits - Celsius degrees - End of transmission or: (2) - Not valid temperature measurement - Character before ID digits - 6 (six) ID digits - 4 (four) measure digits - Celsius degrees - End of transmission T Y C EOT t Y C EOT HEXADECIMAL CODE 54 59 43 04 74 59 43 04 HEXADECIMAL CODE 05 06 15 04
