$AA8Ci

 

 

Name

Read Single Channel Range Configuration command

Description

This command read the input type and range configuration

 

of the specified channel in an analog input module.

Syntax

$AA8Ci(cr)

 

 

$ is a delimiter character.

 

 

AA (range 00-FF) represents the 2-character hexadecimal

 

address of the analog input module which is to be read.

 

8 is the Read Single Channel Range Configuration

 

command.

 

 

Ci represents the specified input channel you want to read.

 

(cr) is the terminating character, carriage return (0Dh).

Response

!AACiRrr(cr) if the command was valid.

 

 

?AA(cr) if an invalid operation was entered.

 

 

There is no response if the module detects a syntax error or

 

communication error or if the specified address does not

 

exist.

 

 

! delimiter character indicates a valid command was

 

received.

 

 

? delimiter character indicates the command was invalid.

 

AA (range 00-FF) represents the 2-character hexadecimal

 

address of the analog input module.

 

 

Ci represents the specified input channel you read.

 

Rrr represents the type and range setting in the specified

 

channel.

 

 

(Refer to Table 5-1 on Page 5-6 to check range codes)

 

(cr) represents terminating character, carriage return (0Dh).

Example

command: $028C5(cr)

 

 

response: !02C5R21(cr)

 

The command read the range of channel 5 in the analog input module at address 02. The response “R21” means Pt100 (IEC) 0 ~ 100 .
