I) V24/RS232/485-Interface - Basics Protocol settings of a serial interface between a test bench control computer and peripheral analyzers on exhaust test benches 1. Introduction The serial interface is made for slow point to point connections (f ≤ ≤ 10 Hz). The communication between the t est b ench c ontrol c omputer (TBCC) and the peripheral analyzers works according to the master slave principle. That means that the peripheral analyzers will only answer with a response telegram to the comman

I) V24/RS232/485-Interface - Basics 4. Specifications of data settings 4.1. Head telegram (Header) The begin of each transfer is a "STX" in the first byte. Each "STX" will start a new transfer. Previous transfers will be deleted, if they are not finished by "ETX". That means, only completed telegrams may be interpreted and answered. You can take any content for the "DON'T CARE" byte, excluding control signs or signs reserved by the AK commands. For the RS485 BUS operating an address byte will be

4.2. Data block and error status byte The data presentation is variable. A fixed format will not be used. A blank or a with will be used as separating characters of data. The separation with will only be done, if the following complete date will have more than 60 digits. Each data set will begin normally with a blank. The data block of the command telegram has only variable data. These data depend on the function code. They can disappear for some function codes excluding the c

I) V24/RS232/485-Interface - Basics If an analyzer or a system is not in the "REMOTE" status, the control and write commands have to report "OF" ("Offline") in the data set to the. In system units the channel number has to be reported, too. If one analyzer is missing, a system unit has to send the channel number and "NA" (" N ot A vailable") to the test bench control computer with control and write commands. A response telegram is not possible, if the test bench control computer has a direct con
