Heater Current Reading**

A
Output status transmission format = ABCD (0=output off, 1=output on)
**
Interrogation of heater current value before the controller has taken a
valid heater current reading results in overload value (###.##). The heater
current reading printout is the last valid reading taken.
Note: The % output power can be changed only if the controller is in the
manual mode of operation.
*
The output status indicates the status of the controller’s outputs. The status
can only be read (see the following table). The alarms outputs may be reset
by the reset operator(R).

The command string is constructed by using a command, a value
identifier, and a data value if required. The Data value need not contain the
decimal point since it is fixed within the unit, when programmed at the
front panel. The TCU accepts the decimal point, however it does not
interpret them in any way. Leading zeros can be eliminated, but all trailing
zeros must be present.
Example
: If an alarm value of 750.0 is to be sent, the data value can be
transmitted as 750.0 or 7500. If a 750 is transmitted, the alarm value
changes to 75.0 in the unit.
The address command allows a transmission string to be directed to a
specific unit on the serial communications line. When the unit address is
z e ro , t ra n s mi s s i o n o f t h e a d d re s s c o mma n d i s n o t re q u i re d . F o r
applications that require several units, it is recommended that each unit on
the line be assigned a specific address.
If they are assigned the same address, a Transmit Value Command causes
all the units to respond simultaneously, resulting in a communication
collision. The command string is constructed in a specific logical
sequence. The TCU does not accept command strings that do not follow
this sequence. Only one operation can be performed per command string.
