MULTITASKER

7.4.1 DESCRIPTION OF COMMANDS

Each command can consist of up to three parts: Function, Card/Group, and Unit. Card commands require the card/group ID, whereas enclosure commands do not.

[ Function , Card/Group ID , Unit ID ]

Example: [VERC3U2]

VER = Function

C3 = Card ID or Group ID

U2 = Unit ID (optional for Unit ID 0)

The card ID is a unique identifier. It is equal to the enclosure slot number, or it may be an assigned value. The group ID represents a group of cards defined with the [WR] command. All cards in a group perform the given instruction.

NOTE: Changing the position of a card will significantly affect control programs and third-party control systems.

The unit ID may range from U0 to U20 where U0 is used for single-unit operation. If the ID is U0, each command may be used without the unit ID. See the command [SET] for details.

Example:

[VERC3]: For U0

[VERC3Ui]: For U1-U20

[VERC3]: Equivalent to [VERC3U0]

7.5 RS-232 COMMANDS

See the COMMAND SUMMARY (section 7.6) for a one-line description of each command. The RS-232 available commands in this section are organized into the following groups:

System Commands

Group Commands

Configuration Commands

Special Commands

LED Commands

Key Commands

Subroutine Commands

SYSTEM COMMANDS

System commands provide information about the front panel, control feedback, and allow unit IDs to be changed or identified.

1.[VER]

This command displays the current version of the firmware for the controller unit located in the MT101-114/115/117.

Command Format: [VERUi]

Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 20)

Example:

Query U1 for the installed firmware version. Send the command [VERU1] to the enclosure and the unit will return feedback similar to the following:

[MT101-115 690-0122-030 690-0123-007 690-0124-027]

MT101-115: Front panel model number

690-0122-030: Control firmware version

690-0123-007: Process firmware version

690-0124-027: Panel firmware version

2.[SET]

This command sets the ID number of a front panel and may be directed to any unit connected to the RS-232 bus.

Command Format: [SETUxUi]

Ux = New unit ID (x = # from 0 to 20)

Ui = Current unit ID (i = # from 0 to 20, optional) Example 1: ID U0

Assign U0 to a single MT101-115by sending the command [SETU0]. After the command is executed, the ID will be changed to U0 and the system will return the following feedback:

Unit ID = 0
