7.1 RS-232 CONTROL

The MT110-103has many advanced remote-control capabilities accessible through standard RS-232 communication. Control may be accomplished through a computer, control system, or any device capable of RS-232 communication.

7.1.1 RS-232 INTERFACE

The control commands for the MT110-103are in a simple ASCII character format.

1.Square brackets “[ ]” are part of the command.

2.Use uppercase letters for all commands.

3.Spaces are not legal characters.

The cards in a MultiTasker are capable of performing various functions, as well as providing feedback to the user or control system. Commands instruct a card to perform specific actions or request information from the card. Some commands do both simultaneously.

A command that instructs the card only to perform an action will generate feedback of “[ ]”. The open bracket immediately followed by a closed bracket indicates the card received a valid command. If the command requested information from the card, the feedback generated by the card is the acknowledgement of having received a valid command. Invalid commands generate feedback that includes “ERR” plus an error code.

Example 1:

[ERR001]

Error number

Example 2:

[ERRC04]

Card error C4

After processing a command, an “OK” or error will be returned as feedback if “F” is included at the end of a command string.

Commands ending in “S” will be saved into memory. Commands not ending in “S” will still be executed, but will not be restored when the system is reset or powered off, then on.
