Analog Output Module Command Set

 

 

$AA1

 

Name

20 mA Calibration command

Description

Stores the current output value of the addressed analog

 

output module as 20 mA reference.

Syntax

$AA1(cr)

 

$ is a delimiter character.

 

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

 

address whose data are to be sent.

 

1 is the 20 mA Calibration command.

 

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

Response

!AA(cr) if the command was valid.

 

?AA(cr) if an invalid command was issued.

 

There is no response if the module detects a syntax or

 

communication error, or even if the specified address does

 

not exist.

 

! delimiter character indicates that a valid command was

 

received.

 

? delimiter character indicates that the command was

 

invalid.

 

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

 

hexadecimal address of the analog output module.

 

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

 

Before issuing the 20 mA Calibration command, the analog

 

output module should be trimmed to the correct value with

 

the Trim Calibration command. A millimeter or a resistor

 

and voltmeter should be connected to the module’s output.

 

(Please refer to the analog output module’s Trim

 

Calibration command and Chapter 8, Calibration, for a

 

detailed description.)
