7.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMMANDS
Each command consists of three parts:
Function, Card ID, and Unit ID.
[ Function , Card ID , Unit ID ]
Example: [VERC3U2]
VER = Function
C3 = Card ID or Group ID
U2 = Unit ID (optional for Unit ID 0)
For Function, see a detailed explanation under
each command description.
The card ID is a unique identifier. It is equal to
the enclosure slot number, or it may be an
assigned value. As the slot number, the value
can range from 1-4 up to 1-20 depending on the
enclosure. If the value is assigned, the ID may
be a maximum of 99. Card ID 0 (C0) is used for
the controller and cannot be reassigned.
The group ID is a number representing a group
of cards defined with the [WR] command. When
using the group ID, all cards in the group will
perform the given instruction.
NOTE: In this guide, cards are referenced by
their IDs (C1, C2...C99). Typically, the ID
number will be equivalent to the slot number.
Groups will be referenced by their IDs (G1-G8).
Changing the position of a card will significantly
affect the commands recorded on software
definitions or third-party control systems.
The unit ID has a range from U0 to U20. U0
should be used for single unit operation. If the
ID is set to U0, each command may be used
without Ui. Use the command [SETU0], as
explained in the MT101-101 User’s Guide.
Example:
[VERC3]: For U0
[VERC3Ui]: For ID other than U0
[VERC3]: Equivalent to [VERC3U0]
COMMAND ORGANIZATION
The COMMAND SUMMARY (Section 7.3) gives
one-line descriptions of each command.
Commands in this section are organized into 6
groups:
Basic Commands
Feedback Control
Matrix Setup
Card Control
Card IDs
Groups
NOTE: Large Command Blocks
Disable the MT107-103’s feedback prior to
sending more than 10 commands to the
card in a single burst with no delays
between characters or commands. See the
[AFB] command for details.
BASIC COMMANDS
The basic commands are used to provide general
information about the card. These commands are
most useful during the initial stages of setting up
and operating the card.
1. [VER]
This command displays the firmware version
and model number for the MT107-103 card.
Command Format: [VERCn]
Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
There is an MT107-103 card in slot 8. Send the
command [VERC8] and card will return the
following feedback:
[MT107-103 690-0159-010 C08]
MT107-103 = the card model
690-0159-010 = the software version
C08 = card ID number
