Operational Commands
5.0 Operational Commands
The PDU is shipped with a factory default setting of address FF. All basic commands
would begin with “AFF”. If the unit address is changed to another hex number the
command structure would also change. All control and conguration of the PDU
settings can be changed using the command set below. LAN module conguration
can only be performed through the LAN connection. Please see section 7.0 for LAN
module conguration.
The basic commands are valid only when the PDU is in the “remote” mode and the
user is communicating using RS-232, RS422/485 or Telnet. If an external software
program is used to issue commands, a delay of 10 milliseconds should be used be-
tween characters and 40 milliseconds between commands being sent should be used.
If the user is typing the commands below, no delays are necessary as the communi-
cation scheme can keep up with the speed of the human interface.
PDU Commands
The following commands are based on factory default settings. All commands must be followed by
a carriage return. For 1X8 units use the “A” commands, for 2X4 units use the “A” and “B” com-
mands.
