4.4.2Transmitted Keyword 2000 Messages

The following is the format for sending a Keyword 2000 message:

Header

SID (Service Identification Byte)

N Data Bytes

 

 

 

28h

Byte 2

Bytes 3 ¾ (2+N)

 

 

 

The above information is used to form the following message which is sent onto the Keyword 2000 bus (with Length Byte not included in the Format Byte):

Format

Target

Source

Length

SID

N Data Bytes

Checksum

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Byte 1

Byte2

Byte 3

Byte 4

Byte 5

Bytes 6 ¾ (5+N)

Byte (6+N)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The above information is used to form the following message which is sent onto the Keyword 2000 bus (with Length Byte included in the Format Byte):

Format

Target

SID

N Data Bytes

Checksum

 

 

 

 

 

 

Byte 1

Byte2

Byte 3

Byte 4

Bytes 5 ¾ (6+N)

Byte (5+N)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, the SAINT will check to see if the bus is “initialized” and if necessary will send the Fast initialization sequence (transmit Wakeup Pattern of 25msec logic low and 25msec logic high followed by a Start Communications request message 81 11 F1 81 04). Refer to the “Keyword Protocol 2000 Data Link Layer Recommended Practice” section 5.1.5.3 for more information.

Currently, only the Fast Initialization sequence is supported. Future initialization sequences will be added as needed.

Gateway Systems Analysis INterface Tool (SAINT), RS-232 specifications

Delphi Gateway Systems Analysis Interface Tool (SAINT) is a robust system that brings efficiency and precision to the analysis, monitoring, and management of data between disparate systems. Designed mainly for industrial settings where reliable communication is crucial, SAINT leverages the RS-232 communication standard, a long-established protocol that facilitates serial communication between devices.

One of the main features of SAINT is its ability to connect multiple devices through RS-232 interfaces, establishing a seamless data flow. This is particularly beneficial in environments where legacy systems still play a significant role. The tool utilizes the well-known characteristics of RS-232, such as point-to-point communication, which allows for straightforward setup and configuration. This makes it easy to connect various sensors, computers, and controllers that utilize RS-232 for data exchange.

Another critical feature of SAINT is its user-friendly interface, which enables operators to visualize data and manage connected devices effortlessly. Real-time monitoring and diagnostics are integral to the system, allowing users to detect anomalies or failures promptly. The tool also supports data logging, capturing historical data that can be analyzed for trends or performance evaluations, thereby enhancing decision-making processes.

In terms of technologies, SAINT is built on modern programming languages and frameworks, ensuring high levels of efficiency and scalability. The integration with existing systems is made easier through programmable logic, which allows for custom configurations tailored to specific operational requirements. This flexibility makes SAINT suitable for various applications, including manufacturing, transportation, and utility services.

The compatibility with multiple baud rates is another significant characteristic, providing users with the ability to adjust communication speed according to their needs. This compatibility, combined with built-in error-checking routines, enhances data integrity and system reliability.

Overall, Delphi Gateway Systems Analysis Interface Tool (SAINT) provides a comprehensive solution for seamless data integration across diverse platforms, making it an essential component in modern industrial communication setups. With its emphasis on RS-232 technology, user accessibility, and flexible integration options, SAINT is positioned as a leading tool for systems analysis and monitoring in a variety of operational environments.
