Conair MPW, MPA manual SPI Commands Supported by Conair Microkool, SPI Command Pairs

Page 77

The SPI commands supported by Conair microKool portable chillers are listed in the following tables.

The standard required commands and three optional com- mands are listed in the SPI Command Pairs table, along with the Select and Poll command pairs in hexadecimal format. Select commands set or change chiller functions. Poll com- mands retrieve information from the chiller.

SPI Command Pairs

	Portable chillers	Device ID: hex 21

	Commands		Select	Poll
	Echo		0x21	0x21
	- Select stores 4 bytes of information at the chiller; Poll retrieves it.		0x21	0x20
	Setpoint Process Temperature		0x21	0x21
	- Sets and retrieves the process temperature setpoint.		0x31	0x30
	Alarm, High Temperature Deviation*		0x21	0x21
	- Sets the alarm band temperature; retrieves setpoint + alarm band value.		0x33	0x32
	Alarm, Low Temperature Deviation*		0x21	0x21
	- Sets the alarm band temperature; retrieves setpoint + alarm band value.		0x35	0x34
	Mode, Machine		0x21	0x21
	- Start/stops the chiller; acknowledges alarms; retrieves run status		0x49	0x48
	Version			0x21
	- Retrieves 4 bytes of SPI version information.			0x22

	Process Status			0x21
	- Retrieves run status and alarm conditions.			0x40
	Status, Machine 1			0x21
	- Retrieves run status and alarm conditions.			0x42

	Status, Machine 2			0x21
	- Retrieves run status and alarm conditions.			0x44
	Temperature, from Process			0x21
	- Retrieves the actual temperature of fluid returning to the chiller.			0x72

*NOTE: Both High and Low Temperature Deviation commands set the same variable. Use only one of these commands to avoid problems.

See the tables on the following pages for the SPI status words and BIT positions for Process Status, Machine 1 Status and Machine 2 status.
