System information

Message format

This section describes the messages exchanged between the "GTC link" communication interface and the external computer based on the JBUS protocol.

The length of time after which a message must be interpreted as "not understood" depends on the type of command sent.

The table opposite lists maximum response times:

Sample commands

List of variable fields

(same for all cubicle types)

The binary data and binary commands can be accessed bit or word-wise.

The word address and position of the bit in the word can be determined from the bit address:

hundreds and tens digit of bit address = word address;

least significant digit of bit address = bit position.
