Command Syntax

Command The device-dependent language for the RS-232 Interface consists of commands and Format and parameters. A command is a one word code which either gives instructions to the Parameters interface or asks for information from the interface. A command may be followed by

one or more parameters, a short code that changes the state of the power supply or the state of the bit register. Table 3.1, “Command Parameters” lists the parameters that affect the command set.

Format:

COMMAND or

COMMAND <parameter> or

COMMAND <parameter>,<parameter>

•You can enter commands in upper or lower case lettering.

Example:

MASK FOLD = mask fold

•Do not further abbreviate command names or parameters.

Example:

MASK FOLD ≠ MK FOLD

 

MASK FOLD ≠ MASK FD

•Use a space between the command and the first parameter. Any number of consecutive spaces is treated as one space. Numeric data may contain leading spaces. Embedded spaces between digits or between a digit and a decimal point are not accepted.

Example:

MASK FOLD = MASK

FOLD

 

VOUT 3.4

= VOUT

3.4

 

VOUT 3.4

≠ VOUT 3.

4

•Use commas between parameters in those commands with more than one parameter, and between mnemonic parameters as in the MASK and UNMASK commands. Only one comma is allowed and it may be preceded or followed by any number of spaces.

Example:

MASK CV, OV, FOLD

RS232-XT, RS232-HPD specifications

Xantrex Technology has made significant strides in the field of power electronics, particularly with its RS232-HPD and RS232-XT communication interfaces. These devices are designed to enhance the efficiency and reliability of power management systems, providing users with advanced features and robust technologies.

The RS232-HPD (High Power Device) is optimized for high-performance applications, enabling seamless communication between power devices and control systems. One of its key features is its compatibility with a wide range of power inverters and converters, making it suitable for diverse applications including renewable energy systems, industrial automation, and marine power solutions. The RS232-HPD supports higher baud rates, allowing for faster data transmission and improved responsiveness in monitoring and control operations.

On the other hand, the RS232-XT (Extended Temperature) variant takes durability to the next level. It is designed to operate in extreme temperature conditions, which is crucial for applications located in harsh environments. The RS232-XT retains all the fundamental benefits of the RS232-HPD while providing additional resilience against temperature fluctuations. This feature is particularly advantageous for outdoor installations, where temperature extremes can impact performance and reliability.

Both the RS232-HPD and RS232-XT are equipped with extensive diagnostic tools that enable users to monitor system performance in real-time. These tools include error detection algorithms and status monitoring, which help in identifying potential issues before they escalate. The user-friendly interface simplifies the setup process, making it accessible for both experienced users and those new to power system management.

A standout characteristic of these interfaces is their robust communication protocols, designed to ensure secure data transmission. With built-in protection against common electrical anomalies, such as voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference, the Xantrex RS232 series guarantees uninterrupted operation and data integrity.

Integration with existing systems is straightforward, thanks to their standard RS232 connectivity. This compatibility makes them ideal for retrofitting older systems without the need for significant infrastructure changes.

In conclusion, Xantrex Technology's RS232-HPD and RS232-XT interfaces are exemplary solutions for advanced power management, offering high performance, durability, and ease of use. Their innovative features and robust technologies solidify Xantrex's position as a leader in the power electronics market. Whether for residential, commercial, or industrial applications, these devices stand ready to deliver efficient and reliable power management solutions.
