LSpups = LSpups or &H20

Step 1b - Set appropriate outputs power-up states LOW

MSpups = MSpups AND (NOT(mask))

LSpups = LSpups AND (NOT(mask))

By "ANDing" the current power-up states with the complement of the appropriate mask of a digital output line, the power-up state's data bit will be set to a "0" (LOW).

Step 1c - Completing the command string:

Cmnd$ = "!" + CHR$(Maddr) + "SS" + CHR$(MSpups) + CHR$(LSpups)

Step 2 - Transmitting the command string:

Print #1, Cmnd$;

Example 5.5 - Set Output #5's power-up state HIGH and Output #13's power-up state LOW on module #4.

'Set module address to 4.

Maddr = 4

'Set bit 0 of LSpups to make Output #5's power-up state HIGH.

'Clear bit 4 of MSpups to make Output #13's power-up state LOW.

MSpups = MSpups AND (NOT(&H20))

Cmnd$ = "!" + CHR$(Maddr) + "SS" + CHR$(MSpups) +

CHR$(LSpups)

PRINT #1, Cmnd$;

MSIO$ = INPUT$(1,#1)

Module's #4 output line #5's power-up state will be set HIGH and output line #13's power-up state will be set LOW. All other output power-up states will not be changed.

Set Module Address Command

The Set Module Address command is used to change the

address of the 485SDD16. This command requires a data byte.

The data byte is used to specify the new address of the module. Step 1 - Construct the command string:

Cmnd$ = "!" + CHR$(Maddr) + "SA" + CHR$(Naddr)

Where Maddr if the module's current address and Naddr is the module's new address.

Step 2 - Transmitting the command string:

Print #1, Cmnd$;

485SDD16-1005 Manual

Example 5.6 - Change the address of module with a current address of 4 decimal to the new address of 5 decimal.

Maddr = 4

Naddr = 5

Cmnd$ = "!" + CHR$(Maddr) + "SA" + CHR$(Naddr)

Print #1, Cmnd$;

Set Turn-around Delay Command

The Set Turn-around Delay command is used to set the amount of time the module will wait after receiving a command before it sends the response message. This ensures that no two communication drivers will be enabled at the same time, and is necessary when multiple modules share the same communica- tion lines. The command requires one data byte to specify the turn- around delay. Refer to this command in Chapter 3 for more information.

Step 1 - Construct the command string:

Cmnd$ = "!" + CHR$(Maddr) + "SC" + CHR$(Ntdly)

Where Maddr if the module's address and Ntdly is the module's new turn-around delay.

Step 2 - Transmitting the command string:

Print #1, Cmnd$;

Example 5.7 - Set the turn-around delay of module #5 to 10 character times.

Maddr = 5

Ntdly = 10

Cmnd$ = "!" + CHR$(Maddr) + "SC" + CHR$(Naddr)

Print #1, Cmnd$;
