5.3.8 Transmission frame in the RS485 multi-point connection
To identify a network frame and ensure the compatibility with a standard transmission frame, add a
network frame ID character "@" and a title of 3 characters of network frame number to the transmission
frame in the RS485 multi-point connection.
The network frame number is specified by any 16 bits signed hexadecimal value coded ASCII text of 1
to 127, to identify the SIM.
Examples: Network frame ID character and number in the multi-point connection
The transmission frame has a single block or multiple transmission blocks. Each transmission block
consists of a network frame ID character, a network frame number, a start control character, data block
number (3 digits), a message (up to 255 characters), an end control character and a checksum (LRC).
The following shows the transmission frame when the message transmission character string is C
n
.
Transmission frame when a message is below 255 characters (n<=255):
"@" is used as a network frame ID character.
"Stx" and "Etx" are used as a start and an end character of the transmission frame, respectively.
Transmission frame when a message exceeds 255 characters (n = 255, m<=255, k = the number of
transmission blocks)
