3.1. Interface data
Type: RS485
Baudrate: 19200
Parity: no
Data bits:
8
Stop bits:
1
Handshake: no
Redundancy check:
yes (CRC)
* To avoid bus collisions a minimum timeout reply of 1 ms (default parameter)
is to be kept, i.e. the time elapsed between transmitting the last bit of the
query until start transmitting the 1st bit of the SPA response.
The operator should see that due to the minimized timeout reply of 1 ms
the bus switching time after having transmitted the last bit must not exceed
1 ms.
The default parameter of 1 ms can optionally be altered by serial interface
in steps of 0,1 ms within the range of 0,1 ... 60 ms. Refer to command „x“
(78h).
Timeout reply*:
0,1...60 ms
BUS switching time**:
<0,1 ms
** The BUS switching time is the time the SPA requires to be ready again for
reception after having replied to the host
3.2. Protocol
The spindle position display operates with ASCII protocol (clear text protocol). Depending on the command, the
protocol data package varies between 5 and 17 bytes.

3.3. Redundancy check (CRC byte)
For optimized error-free data transmission the CRC byte is added after the footer token (EOT, end of
transmission) to the string to be transferred. Upon receiving a command the CRC byte transmitted is
crosschecked with the auto-calculated CRC byte.
Algorithm:
1) Reset CRC byte.
2) Rotate CRC byte by 1 bit to the left.
3) Link result to first data byte XOR.
4) Rotate result by 1 bit to the left.
5) Link result to the second data byte XOR.
:
x) Rotate result by 1 bit to the left.
y) Link result to the last data byte (ever 04H) XOR.
z) Add result as CRC after the footer token (04H) to the transmitted string.

RL 1010 0001
Important: Bit 7 is shifted in bit 0 during rotation

Legend: RL = rotate left; XOR = antivalence link
