Software Communication 3-3
Communication Protocols
Three communication protocols are available:
OEM communications protocol
Data Terminal (DT) protocol
CAN protocol
On standard firmware pumps, select a communication protocol using JP1-2 on the back
panel of the XP 3000.
NOTE Microstep-enabled XP firmware automatically detects the communication
protocol. There is no need to select JP1-2 when using this firmware.
The DT protocol can be run via an ASCII data terminal because no sequence numbers or
checksums are used. For instructions on using a Microsoft Windows Terminal Emulator,
see “Using DT Protocol with Microsoft Windows” in this chapter.
NOTE Cavro recommends using the OEM protocol. It provides increased error
checking, i.e., checksums and sequence numbers are used.
