Time for data transmission is calculated with the following expression, for instance, in the case of 9600 [bps]: (1000/9600) x (1 + 8 + 1) = 1.04 [ms/byte]

Data

When the baud rates of 2400 bps and 4800 [bps] are used, data transmission time will be 4.17 [ms/byte] and

2.08[ms/byte], respectively. Note, however, actual communication time will be added time necessary for processing received command, and necessary for switching between a line and transmission/reception control.

Handshaking Code

For line control, the following codes are used.

NAK

15h

Negative acknowledgement

ENQ …When the module has a block to transmit, it sends ENQ.

EOT … When the module is ready to receive a block, it sends EOT. The line enters transmission mode when sending ENQ and receiving EOT. It enters reception mode when receiving ENQ and sending EOT.

ACK … When a received block is judged normal, ACK is returned.

NAK … When a received block is judged as abnormal, NAK is returned. A judgment is made based on checksum and timeout.
