RS485 Commands

Except ‘Nx<c/r>’ (paragraph d), these commands are available also in the fill mode.

a. Activate address x (x=1, 2, 3, …, 62, 63, 64):

:x<c/r>

Board(s) response:

1.If address x is already active: !x<c/r>

(The board reports that it is already active and has nothing to do.)

2.If address x is not active:

2.1If another address is currently active: ^x<c/r> (I’m going to sleep)

(The ‘falling’ board reports that it received an activation command to another board, then it makes itself inactive.)

2.2If address x exists:

Ax<c/r> (I’m becoming active)

(The ‘rising’ board reports that it makes itself active.)
