dosing quantity and the safety timer counters.
3.3. ETP PROTOCOL (ENCAPSULATED TRANSFER PROTOCOL)
3.3.1.
INTRODUCTION
The ETP is a protocol owner of the converter that has the function of the read and set the parameters of the
converter through formatted strings of characters.
3.3.2.
DATA WORD FORMAT
The data bytes travelling in serial form on the communication line are enclosed in
words
which have a fixed length of
10 bits:
1 START BIT
8 DATA BITS = 1 BYTE DI DATI
1 STOP BIT
Each word contains one byte of data plus additional bits which serve to synchronise and make the communication
safer. These extra bits are added automatically in the transmission phase by the transmitter integrated circuit. In the
reception phase, the reverse operation is executed by the receiver integrated circuit: the eight data bits are extracted
and the others are eliminated. These operations are executed entirely on a hardware level.
The 8 data bits must be serialised staring from bit 0 (the least significant one).
