This section discusses use of SIS commands via RS-232 communication to monitor and get information from the SCP. It contains lists and explanations of the SIS commands that are available for the SCP.

Topics that are covered include:

•• Setting Up RS-232 Communication

•• Communications Between the Host and the SCP

•• Using SIS Commands

•• Using the Switch and Button Table

Setting Up RS-232 Communication

The RS-232 interface allows you to obtain information about the SCP and to activate certain SCP functions from a host computer or other device

(such as a control system\attached to the rear panel RS-232 port (shown at right\. (For information on wiring this port, see "Wiring the RS-232 Port" on page 10.\

Use the following protocol settings for your computer:

Baud rate: 9600

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop Bits: 1

Flow Control: None

NOTE: For RS-232 communication, DIP

switch #1 must be set to On (up\.

Communications Between the Host and the SCP

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the SCP determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device.

Most responses from the panel to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF\, which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
