a
• Read STATE Request - This message will query the CIDRW state of the transition
model.
ASCII communication:
• Are You There - This message is used to perform the heartbeat between the host
and the connected device.
• Read Attribute Request - This message requests the current values of ECID or
SVID of the subsystem component indicated in TargetID.
• Read Data Request - This message reads the “NOTEPAD” (Linear Memory) sec-
tion of the subsystem component indicated in TargetID.
• Write Data Request - This message writes data to the NOTEPAD section of the
subsystem component indicted in TargetID.
• Read Material ID Request - This message is used to request the subsystem indi-
cated by TargetID to read an MID.
• Write Material ID Request -This message is used to request the subsystem indi-
cated by TargerID to write Material identifier
• Subsystem Command Request - This message is used to request the subsystem
indicated in TargetID to perform a specific action. Included in this set are the fol-
lowing commands: SSCMD 04 - Blink LED on Node/Device; SSCMD 07 - Perform
Diagnostics; SSCMD 13 - Reset; SSCMD 15 - Change State; SSCMD GetStatus.
• Event Report Send - This message is used to send events to the host. Included in
this set are the following commands: CEID 01 - Material (Pod/Cassette) Arrival
Event; CEID 02 Material (pod/Cassette) Removal Event; CEID 03 - Operator
Arrival Event; CEID 04 - Operator Leaving Event; CEID 08 - AdvanTag/LinkMan-
ager Power up.
• Read STATE Request - This message will query the CIDRW state of the transition
model.
