Altinex CP7317RS Network Card User Manual


 
CONTROLLERS
11
[READDp]
Read Digital status of a particular port. The
feedback is in the following format [10011100] 1 is
for high 0 is for low. The feedback provides status
of all pins. Left most character is a bit pin number
1.
p Port number, this is an ASCII character
from 1 to 4 that matches the port number
on the back of the CP7317RS. The
acceptable values are 1,2,3 or 4. Any other
value will cause error as a feedback code.
[READRp,b]
Read Relay status of a particular relay on the relay
ports. The feedback is in the following format [1] if
relay is closed or [0] if relay is open.
p Port number. This is an ASCII character
from 1 to 4 that matches the port number
on the back of the CP7317RS. The
acceptable values are 1,2,3 or 4. Any other
value will cause error as a feedback code.
b Relay number. This number corresponds to
the number on terminal block on the back of
the CP7317RS from left to right. Valid range
of numbers is from 1 to 8, inclusive. Any
other numbers will cause error as a
feedback code.
[READRp]
Read Relay status of all relays on the particular
port. The feedback is that in the following format
[10011100] 1 is for closed relay 0 is for open relay.
The feedback provides status of all relays.
p Port number. This is an ASCII character
from 1 to 4 that matches the port number
on the back of the CP7317RS. The
acceptable values are 1,2,3 or 4. Any other
value will cause error as a feedback code.
[UIDn]
Communicate with Unit ID number (n=0 to 9, A to
Z, and a to z) Up to 62 units can be controlled
together.
n Unit ID number. if n=0 then all units with
different ID numbers will be disabled. Unit
will respond only to another [UIDn]
command. If n=1 then all units will be
enable regardless of their Unit ID number.
Additional [UIDn] commands will enable
units that have the corresponding UID
number. [UIDn] command is additive. This
means that as you issue additional UID
commands, the corresponding CP7317RS
units will become active on the line. To
reset everything, issue [UID0] command
followed by the required [UIDn] command.
4.9 BINARY COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
In Binary Communication Protocol (BCP) there are
basically two commands that control all of
the functions of CP7317RS Controller.
[BRxyy]
Binary Read command
x – I/O port /Memory in ASCII
yy - sub-register address in ASCII hex One
Hex byte is returned for each [BRxyy]
command, which contains data, and
followed by [OK]
[x] [OK]
hex byte
[BWxyydd]
Binary Write command
x – I/O port / Memory number in ASCII
yy - sub-register address in ASCII hex
dd - data to be written into sub-register
yy in ASCII hex format
4.10 REGISTER DEFINITIONS
Memory registers:
There are 4 memories available in the CP7317RS.
Three of these memories are dedicated to the
operation of the CP7317RS and one is a general
purpose memory for user applications. Each
memory contains 256 locations each 8 bits long.
That means that each memory can store up to 256
characters or 256 bytes of information.
