SRP-X500P RS-232C Interface Manual

1.3 Communication Format

The communication format is described below.

Baud rate	: 38,400 bps
Communication mode	: Half-duplex start stop system (asynchronous)
Data length	: 8 bits
Parity bit	: odd
Stop bit	: 1 bit
Flow control	: None

1.4 Communication Protocol

The communication protocol is described below.

・When the SRP-X500P successfully receives a command from the computer, the SRP-X500P returns an ACK (Acknowledge). When the SRP-X500P fails to process a command due to a reception error or other problem, it returns a NAK (Not Acknowledge).

・When the computer sends a command, the computer waits for an ACK or NAK from the SRP-X500P. If the computer receives a response, it can send the next command.

・If the computer does not receive a response even after 1000 ms has elapsed after the transmission of the command, it means that the SRP-X500P did not receive the command normally. The computer should re-send the command.

・Transmission of the command by the computer should take place within 1000 ms. If the transmission is not completed within 1000 ms, a NAK should be returned without processing of the command.

・If the computer receives a NAK while transmitting the command, the computer should stop transmitting the command immediately.

1.5 RS-232C indicator

When SRP-X500P is communicating with the computer, the RS-232C indicator on the front panel is lit up.

1.6 Note on Value Settings

When setting up or operating the SRP-X500P through the RS-232C connector, be sure the parameters are within the value ranges specified in this protocol manual. The setting of values not defined in this manual may be a cause of an operational malfunction in the SRP-X500P or a communication malfunction between the SRP-X500P and the SRP-X500P Manager software. If this happens, the FACTORY PRESET command should be transmitted to restore the SRP-X500P parameters to their factory settings.

Afterwards, the parameters should be set to their appropriate values.
