<DATA> = an alphanumeric ASCII string with
the data to be written into the window. In case
of a reading command this field is not present.
The field length is variable according to the
data type as per the following table:
FIELD
DATA TYPE
LENGTH
Logic (L)
1
Numeric (N)
6
Alphanumeric (A)
10
−
<ETX> (End of transmission) = 0x03
−
<CRC> = XOR of all characters subsequent to
<STX> and including the <ETX> terminator.
The value is hexadecimal coded and indicated
by two ASCII character.
The addressed SLAVE will respond with an ANSWER
whose structure depends from the MESSAGE type.
When the MESSAGE is a reading command, the
SLAVE will respond transmitting a string with the
same structure of the MESSAGE.
NOTE
Using the RS 485 interface, the message structure
remains identical to the one used for the RS 232
interface, the only difference being that the value
assigned to the ADDRESS <ADDR>
The controller can answers with the following re-
