Chapter 11 Communication Specifications

11.3 Port 2

The specifications of port 2 are listed in Table 11.4. 1:n station communication by the high protocol is possible with port 2. By creating and including a control procedure based on the high protocol on the personal computer which will become the host, it becomes possible to control a maximum of 32 stations from one host. The systems can thus be configured in several ways.

(1)Setting port 2

Port 2 is configured by special register WRF03D. The settings can be changed even when port 2 is communicating. The highest bit (b15) of WRF03D is setting bit.

If station number mode is used, make sure to set the station number from 0 to 31 in BCD code.

Value in WRF03D is saved in FLASH memory when writing flag (R7F6) is turned on. If saved in FLASH memory, it is not necessary to set again at the next power up.

(Example) Transmission control procedure 2, communication speed 19.2 kbps, and station number 28. Î WRF03D = HE228 After the setting is completed, WRF03D is changed to H6228. (b15 cleared)
