3. SETTING

To switch the host computer from transmission to reception, send data must be on line. To check if data is on line, do not use the host computer’s transmission buffer but confirm it by the shift register.

The interval time for the SA200 should be set to provide a time for host computer to finish sending all data including stop bit and to switch the line to receive data. If the interval time between the two is too short, the SA200 may send data before the host computer is ready to receive it. In this case, communication transmission can not be conducted correctly. For a successful communication sequence to occur, the SA200’s interval time must match the specifications of the host computer.

Whether the host computer is using either the polling or selecting procedure for communication, the following processing times are required for SA200 to send data:

-Response wait time after SA200 sends BCC in polling procedure

-Response wait time after SA200 sends ACK or NAK in selecting procedure

A transmission error may occur with the transmission line disconnected, shorted or set to the highimpedance state. In order to prevent the above error, it is recommended that the fail-safe function be provided on the receiver side of the host computer. The fail-safe function can prevent a framing error from its occurrence by making the receiver output stable to the MARK (1) when the transmission line is in the high-impedance state.

IMR01D02-E3

4. RKC COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL

The temperature controller SA200 (hereinafter, the controller) uses the polling/selecting method to establish a data link. The basic procedure is followed ANSI X3.28 subcategory 2.5, A4 basic mode data transmission control procedure (Fast selecting is the selecting method used in this controller).

#"The polling/selecting procedures are a centralized control method where the host computer controls the entire process. The host computer initiates all communication so the controller responds according to queries and commands from the host.

#"The code use in communication is 7-bit ASCII code including transmission control characters.

The transmission control characters are EOT (04H), ENQ (05H), ACK (06H), NAK (15H), STX

(02H) and ETX (03H). The figures in the parenthesis indicate the corresponding hexadecimal number.

4.1 Polling

Polling is the action where the host computer requests one of the connected controllers to transmit data. An example of the polling procedure is shown below:

4. RKC COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL

4.1.1 Polling procedures

(1) Data link initialization

Host computer sends EOT to the controllers to initiate data link before polling sequence.

(2) Data sent from host computer - Polling sequence

Host computer sends polling sequence with the format shown below:

1.

2.

3.

Example:

ENQ 0 2 M 1 ENQ

Device address

Identifier

1. Device address (2 digits)

The device address specifies the controller to be polled and each controller must have its own unique device address.

See 3.3 Device Address (Slave Address) Setting (P. 7).

2. Identifier (2 digits)

The identifier specifies the type of data that is requested from the controller.

See 4.3 Communication Identifier List (P.26).

3. ENQ

The ENQ is the transmission control character that indicates the end of the polling sequence. The

ENQ must be attached to the end of the identifier. The host computer then must wait for a response from the controller.

(3) Data sent from the controller

If the polling sequence is received correctly, the controller sends data in the following format:

1.

2.

STX Identifier

3.

Data

4.

ETX

5.

BCC

18

IMR01D02-E3


1. STX

STX is the transmission control character which indicates the start of the text transmission

(identifier and data).


The identifier indicates the type of data (measured value, status and set value) sent to the host computer.

See 4.3 Communication Identifier List (P. 26).

3. Data (6 digits [Expect model code.] )

Data is the information being sent from the controller. It is expressed in decimal ASCII code including a minus sign (-) and a decimal point. No zero suppression is made.

4. ETX

ETX is a transmission control character used to indicate the end of text transmission.

5. BCC

BCC (Block Check Character) detects error using horizontal parity and is calculated by horizontal parity (even number).

Calculation method of BCC: Exclusive OR all data and characters from STX through ETX, not including STX.

Example:

STX M 1 0 0 0 5 0 0 ETX

4DH 31H 30H 30H 30H 35H 30H 30H 03H

BCC

Hexadecimal numbers

BCC = 4DH ⊕ 31H ⊕ 30H ⊕ 30H ⊕ 30H ⊕ 35H ⊕ 30H ⊕ 30H ⊕ 03H = 7AH

Value of BCC becomes 7AH.

(4) EOT sent from the controller (Ending data transmission from the controller)

In the following cases, the controller sends EOT to terminate the data link:

• When the specified identifier is invalid

• When there is an error in the data type

• When all the data has been sent

(5) No response from the controller

The controller will not respond if the polling address is not received correctly. It may be necessary for the host computer to take corrective action such as a time-out.

IMR01D02-E3 19


(6) ACK (Acknowledgment)

An acknowledgment ACK is sent by the host computer when data received is correct. When the controller receives ACK from the host computer, the controller will send any remaining data of the next identifier without additional action from the host computer.

For details of identifier, see 4.3 Communication Identifier List (P. 26).

When host computer determines to terminate the data link, EOT is sent from the host computer.

(7) NAK (Negative acknowledge)

If the host computer does not receive correct data from the controller, it sends a negative acknowledgment NAK to the controller. The controller will re-send the same data when NAK is received. This cycle will go on continuously until either recovery is achieved or the data link is corrected at the host computer.

(8) No response from host computer

When the host computer does not respond within approximately three seconds after the controller sends data, the controller sends EOT to terminate the data link.

(9) Indefinite response from host computer

The controller sends EOT to terminate the data link when the host computer response is indefinite.

(10) EOT (Data link termination)

The host computer sends EOT message when it is necessary to suspend communication with the controller or to terminate the data link due lack of response from the controller.

4.2.1 Selecting procedures

(1) Data link initialization

Host computer sends EOT to the controllers to initiate data link before selecting sequence.

(2) Sending selecting address from the host computer

Host computer sends selecting address for the selecting sequence.

Device address (2 digits)

The device address specifies the controller to be selected and each controller must have its own unique device address.

See 3.3 Device Address (Slave Address) Setting (P. 7).

22

IMR01D02-E3


(3) Data sent from the host computer

The host computer sends data for the selecting sequence with the following format:

1.

STX Identifier

2.

Data ETX BCC

For the STX, ETX and BCC, see item 4.1 Polling (P. 17).


The identifier specifies the type of data that is requested from the controller, such as set value.

See 4.3 Communication Identifier List (P. 26).

2. Data (Maximum 6 digits)

Data is the information being sent to the controller. It is expressed in decimal ASCII code including a minus sign (-) and a decimal point (period).

The data that receipt of letter is possible

• Data with numbers below the decimal point omitted or zero suppressed data can be received.

<Example> When data send with -001.5, -01.5, -1.5, -1.50, -1.500 at the time of -1.5, controller can receive a data.

• When the host computer send data with decimal point to item of without decimal point, controller receives a message with the value which cut off below the decimal point.

<Example> When setting range is 0 to 200, controller receives as a following.

Send data

Receive data

0.5

IMR01D02-E3 23


(4) ACK (Acknowledgment)

An acknowledgment ACK is sent by the controller when data received is correct. When the host computer receives ACK from the controller, the host computer will send any remaining data. If there is no more data to be sent to controller, the host computer sends EOT to terminate the data link.

(5) NAK (Negative acknowledge)

If the controller does not receive correct data from the host computer, it sends a negative acknowledgment NAK to the host computer. Corrections, such as re-send, must be made at the host computer. The controller will send NAK in the following cases:

• When an error occurs on communication the line (parity, framing error, etc.)

• When a BCC check error occurs

• When the specified identifier is invalid

• When receive data exceeds the setting range

(6) No response from controller

The controller does not respond when it can not receive the selecting address, STX, ETX or BCC.

(7) EOT (Data link termination)

The host computer sends EOT when there is no more data to be sent from the host computer or there is no response from the controller.

IMR01D02-E3


8 The non-volatile memory (EEPROM) has limitations on the number of memory rewrite times. If the buffer mode is selected as an EEPROM storage mode, all of the set values changed are not written to the EEPROM and thus a problem of limitations on the number of memory rewrite times can be solved. When the memory is used to frequently change the set value via communication, select the buffer mode.

When selecting any EEPROM storage mode, take notice of the following.

• If power failure occurs while the buffer mode is selected, the set value returns to the value before the storage mode is selected.

• If the buffer mode is changed to the backup mode, all of the set values at that time are stored to the EEPROM. If necessary to backup the final value of each set item, select the backup mode.

• When the power is turned on, the backup mode is always set.

9 The contents of the buffer memory and those of the EEPROM can be checked.

When data is 0: The contents of the buffer memory do not match with those of the EEPROM.

• As data is being written to the EEPROM in backup mode, do not turn the power off. If turned off, no set values are stored.

• If the set value is changed after the backup mode is changed to the buffer mode,

0 is set (mismatch). As the set value changed is not backup, select the backup mode if necessary.

When data is 1: The contents of the buffer memory match with those of the EEPROM.

(Data write to the EEPROM is completed.)

IMR01D02-E3 29

5. MODBUS COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL

The master controls communication between master and slave. A typical message consists of a request (query message) sent from the master followed by an answer (response message) from the slave. When master begins data transmission, a set of data is sent to the slave in a fixed sequence.

When it is received, the slave decodes it, takes the necessary action, and returns data to the master.

5.1 Message Format

The message consists of four parts: slave address, function code, data, and error check code which are always transmitted in the same sequence.

Slave address

Function code

Data

Error check CRC-16

Message format

The slave address is a number from 1 to 99 manually set at the front key panel of the controller.

For details, see 3.3 Device Address (Slave Address) Setting (P. 7).

Although all connected slaves receive the query message sent from the master, only the slave with the slave address coinciding with the query message will accept the message.

The function codes are the instructions set at the master and sent to the slave describing the action to be executed. The function codes are included when the slave responds to the master.

For details, see 5.2 Function Code (P. 31).

The data to execute the function specified by the function code is sent to the slave and corresponding data returned to the master from the slave.

For details, see 5.6 Message Format (P. 35), 5.7 Data Configuration (P. 38) and

5.8 Communication Data List (P. 40).

30

An error checking code (CRC-16: Cyclic Redundancy Check) is used to detect an error in the signal transmission.

For details, see 5.5 Calculating CRC-16 (P.33).

5.4 Slave Responses

(1) Normal response

• In the response message of the Read Holding Registers, the slave returns the read out data and the number of data items with the same slave address and function code as the query message.

• In the response message of the Preset Single Resister, the slave returns the same message as the query message.

• In the response message of the Diagnostics (loopback test), the slave returns the same message as the query message.

(2) Defective message response

• If the query message from the master is defective, except for transmission error, the slave returns the error response message without any action.

Error response message

• If the self-diagnostic function of the slave detects an error, the slave will return an error response message to all query messages.

Self-diagnostic error response

(3) No response

The slave ignores the query message and does not respond when:

• The slave address in the query message does not coincide with any slave address settings.

• The CRC code of the master does not coincide with that of the slave.

• Transmission error such as overrun, framing, parity and etc., is found in the query message.

• Data time interval in the query message from the master exceeds 24 bit’s time.

IMR01D02-E3


5.5 Calculating CRC-16

The Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is a 2 byte (16-bit) error check code. After constructing the data message, not including start, stop, or parity bit, the master calculates a CRC code and appends this to the end of the message. The slave will calculate a CRC code from the received message, and compare it with the CRC code from the master. If they do not coincide, a communication error has occurred and the slave does not respond.

The CRC code is formed in the following sequence:

1. Load a 16-bit CRC register with FFFFH.

2. Exclusive OR ( ⊕ ) the first byte (8 bits) of the message with the CRC register. Return the result to the CRC register

3. Shift the CRC register 1 bit to the right.

4. If the carry flag is 1, exclusive OR the CRC register with A001 hexadecimal and return the result to the CRC register. If the carry flag is 0, repeat step 3.

5. Repeat step 3 and 4 until there have been 8 shifts.

6. Exclusive OR the next byte (8 bits) of the message with the CRC register..

7. Repeat step 3 through 6 for all bytes of the message (except the CRC).

8. The CRC register contains the 2 byte CRC error code. When they are appended to the message, the low-order byte is appended first, followed by the high-order byte.

5.7.1 Data range

The numeric range of data used in Modbus protocol is 0000H to FFFFH. Only the set value within the setting range is effective.

FFFFH represents -1.

Data processing with decimal points

The Modbus protocol does not recognize data with decimal points during communication.


Example: When the control loop break alarm set value is 8.0 minutes; 8.0 is processed as 80,

80 = 0050H

• No decimal point

• One decimal place

• Two decimal place

For details, see 6. INPUT RANGE TABLES (P. 44).

Example: When the temperature set value is -20.0 ° C; -20.0 is processed as -200,

-200 = 0000H - 00C8H = FF38H

5.7.2 Data processing precautions

• For 03H (read holding register), an error response message is returned when the start address is larger than 1AH.

• For 06H (preset single register), an error message is returned when the write address is larger than

1AH.

• Read data of unused channel and undefined address is 0.

• Any attempt to write to an unused channel is not processed as an error. Data can not be written into an unused channel.

• If data range or address error occurs during data writing, the data written before error is in effect.

IMR01D02-E3


7 The non-volatile memory (EEPROM) has limitations on the number of memory rewrite times. If the buffer mode is selected as an EEPROM storage mode, all of the set values changed are not written to the EEPROM and thus a problem of limitations on the number of memory rewrite times can be solved. When the memory is used to frequently change the set value via communication, select the buffer mode.

When selecting any EEPROM storage mode, take notice of the following.

• If power failure occurs while the buffer mode is selected, the set value returns to the value before the storage mode is selected.

• If the buffer mode is changed to the backup mode, all of the set values at that time are stored to the EEPROM. If necessary to backup the final value of each set item, select the backup mode.

• When the power is turned on, the backup mode is always set.

8 The contents of the buffer memory and those of the EEPROM can be checked.

When data is 0: The contents of the buffer memory do not match with those of the EEPROM.

• As data is being written to the EEPROM in backup mode, do not turn the power off. If turned off, no set values are stored.

• If the set value is changed after the backup mode is changed to the buffer mode,

0 is set (mismatch). As the set value changed is not backup, select the backup mode if necessary.

When data is 1: The contents of the buffer memory match with those of the EEPROM.

(Data write to the EEPROM is completed.)
