11.2 Starting a Job via Atlas Open Protocol by means of
VIN or Identifier
By the message “MID 0001 – Communication start”, the Atlas Open Protocol starts to communicate with
the Focus 61; the reply (MID 0002) contains the basic information about the controller.
Through the message “MID 0050 – Vehicle ID Number download request”, it is possible to trigger an
event (configured in the Focus 61) in order to start a Job.
NOTE: It is MANDATORY to specify into the message MID 0050 the Station ID (0 or 1).
Before sending this message from the Atlas Open Protocol to the Focus 61, there are some mandatory
steps to satisfy.
First, configure a Job to associate with the Event (refer to the paragraph “Job Configuration”).
Second, configure an Event:
- Event Type must be either AOP_SETVIN
- Station action must be set on Enable Station
- Job action must be set on Start Job (thus select the Job previously configured)
- Barcode action must be set on Station_IDN
After configuring both a Job and an Event, when the Atlas Open Protocol sends a message “MID 0050 –
Vehicle ID Number download request” to the Focus 61, this receives a VIN and verifies that it matches
with the Pattern configured; if it is, the Job starts and the Blue LED on the MWR-TA starts to blink.
