6.5.2 Honeywell RS-232 Serial Control Interface for DC811 Up/Down Range
The DC811 controller transmits a 6 byte data packet with spacing between bytes of 16.67 mSec. Each byte consists of one
start bit (low), 8 data bits with least significant bit (LSB) first; an EVEN parity bit and one stop bit (high). The LSB of the
first packet byte is set to 1 to indicate the start of the packet (the other 5 bytes will have the LSB set to 0). The data rate for
this bus is 7.8125 KBS ± 0.01%. Depressing the Up or Down Range button will cause an Up or Down Range bit to be set
for 1 packet period (approximately 100 mSec). After an Up or Down transition no additional changes will be allowed for
approximately ½ second.
