5.1 Introduction
PMM 1008 has been designed to be programmed through his serial port
using either RS232 as well RS485.
When using RS232 you can use only one instrument connected to PC
serial port. If using RS485 you can connect up to 31 instruments to the
same PC serial port.
PMM 1008 uses the same connector for both communications.
5.2 Communication
Half-duplex communication is implemented. The protocols are identical for
RS232 and RS485.
A built-in automatic tool identifies the type of communication used and
shows it on LCD display. Typical communication is implemented at 9600
baud with 8 bit, one stop bit and no parity.
5.3 Protocol
Be aware that only the PC can send the commands. PMM 1008 will answer
when is inquired only.
Communication is done at 9600 Baud with 8 bit, 1 stop bit and no parity.
The communication uses strings with variable byte width. The characters
used inside the strings are in ASCII format (00 - 127) at 7 bit. The most
significant bit are ignored in reception and put to 0 during transmission.
Every strings starts with the special character “#” and stops with “*”.
5.4 Address
The address cannot be assigned but is fixed at “FM”. The PMM 1008 can
also answer at address 00.
5.5 Format
All messages are content between “#” and “*” characters for strings send to
Host PC and between “00” and “*” for strings send to the instrument.
The string sent to the PMM 1008 has the following format: “
#00c..c
*”.
Where:
- # Start character
- 00
- c..c Command
- * End character
PMM 1008 will respond with the following string: - “#c..c”. In this case the
address is not used because the PC does not need it.
Between “C..C” there is the message text where the length can varies from
1 to 100 characters.
