Message Structure

(request and answer have the same format)
The master system (PC) starts every session sending the following
message to the slave units connected:
<STX> / <ADDR> + <WINDOW> + <COMMAND> + <DATA> + <ETX>
+ <CRC>
where:
<STX>=
<ADDR> =
<ADDR> =
<WINDOWS>= '000'...' 999' window number the meaning of the
<COMMAND>= 0x30 :window value reading
<DATA> =
<ETX>=
<CRC>=
192/208
0x02
0x80 (for RS 232 and RS 422 only)
0x80 + device number (0...31)
0xFF: broadcasting command (recognized by all the
devices, it doesn't implicate any answer)
(for RS 485 only)
window depends to the device type
0x31 :window writing
alphanumeric ASCII string containing, in the case of
writing operation, the parameter to input into the
window addressed by the field <WINDOW>This field
may have variable length according to the data type
contained in the window where you are working in.
In the case of reading request of a window, the data
field doesn't exist.
0x03
XOR among all the characters following <STX>=(with
exception of <STX>), including the end character
<ETX> hexadecimally encoded by two ASCII
characters.
