Description).

1 stop bit
Baud rate: 9600
Communications Protocol
The communications protocol is of MASTER/ SLAVE type, where:
Host = MASTER
Controller = SLAVE
The communication takes place as follows:
1 The host (MASTER) sends a MESSAGE + CRC to the controller
(SLAVE)
2 The controller answers with an ANSWER + CRC to the host.
3 The MESSAGE is a string in the following format:
4 <STX>+<ADDR>+<WIN>+<COM>+<DATA>+<ETX>+<CRC>
NOTE
When data is indicated between two quotes (‘...’), it implies that the data
indicated is the corresponding ASCII character.
Where:
<STX> (Start of transmission) = 0x02
<ADDR> (Unit address) = 0x80 (for RS232)
<ADDR> (Unit address) = 0x80 + device number (0 to 31) (for
RS485)
<WIN> (Window) = a string of 3 numerics indicating the window
number (from ‘000’ to ‘999’); for the meaning of each window, see
the relevant paragraph.
