16.8 Communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option)
The unit is regularly equipped with a serial interface RS 422 (9) that can connect the BINDER
communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem. The actual temperature value is given at
adjustable intervals. Programming can be performed graphically via PC. Up to 30 chambers with RS 422
interface can be cross-linked. For further information, refer to the operating manual of the BINDER
communication software APT-COM™ 3.
Confirm that the interface mode is correctly set to “Modbus” in the user level (chap. 10).
Pin allocation of the RS 422 interface (9): pin 2: RxD (+)
pin 3: TxD (+)
pin 4: RxD (-)
pin 5: TxD (-)
pin 7: GND
16.9 Protocol printer (available via BINDER INDIVIDUAL customized solutions)
Connect the protocol printer using the VD interface RS 422 (9) via an interface converter RS422 / RS232.
Make sure that the interface mode is correctly set to “Printer” in the user level (chap. 10).
The actual temperature values are put out regularly with fixed formatting.
See “Manual for Setting Matrix Printer Epson LX-300+“, Art. No. 7001-0041.
Printout: one printed line for each print interval with relative time stamp, temperature value with one
decimal point, curve representation. In every 5th line the set print interval “Ptime” in minutes is noted. The
printer interval is set in the user level (chap. 10).
Figure 28: Protocol printer
Example:
Temp.: 34.7 *
Temp.: 35.6 *
Temp.: 32.8 *
Temp.: 30.1 *
Ptime : 001. *
Temp.: 27.4 *
Temp.: 26.9 *
Temp.: 26.6 *
Temp.: 26.4 *
Ptime : 001. *
Temp.: 26.2 *
In this example the print interval is set to 1 min, i.e., every minute a new temperature value is printed.
In conjunction with the specified print interval, real-time reference can be achieved by noting
down the starting time of recording.
Interface configuration: Baud rate: 9600
Stop bit: 1
Parity: none
