RS485 Protocol for HI 720
Commands are composed of four parts: address, command identifier, param-
eter, end of command. The end of command corresponds to the CR char (0x0d).
Some commands are used when the master is requesting information from the
controller, others when the master wants to set a parameter in the process memory
(RAM or EEPROM).
The master software must send the command string with a maximum delay of
20 ms between each character.
If the general password has not been entered, the program on the master must
not allow setting commands other than keyboard or cleaning start/stop com-
mands. After the general password recognition through the “PWD” command,
a 1-minute time-out is let before the process meter locks again, i.e. if the PC
program waits for more than 1 minute between two subsequent commands, the
second one is not fulfilled and the “PWD” command must be issued again.
This is the complete list of available commands:
