BioMax2 / KBio2-Online
Installation and Programming Manual
www.kimaldi.com Page 21 of 91
Commands are available to switch between Online and Offline mode and vice-versa:
SetModeOnline and SetModeOffline.
In order for the system to operate properly, the Host must periodically send the
SetModeOnline command to BioMaxPlus, so that it keeps its online operating status.
Time between such frames must be lower than the one configured on Parameter$13.
5.6. Others
Another basic aspect of BioMax2 and KBio2-Online electronics is the configuration of
its interface with the Host. It has several communication channels, as described in
chapter 6.: “Comunicación con el Host”
All the aspects related to the operating and connectivity of BioMax2 and KBio2-Online
electronics can be configured as explained in
chapter 8.: “BioMax2 / KBio2-Online
electronics configuration”
.
It also incorporates a function for diagnosing faults in the hardware and for remote
firmware updating.
5.6.1. Information on exceptions
If an exception occurs in the operation of the microcontroller, the information on it is
stored in the non-volatile memory of the BioMax2 / KBio2-Online electronics. The
second time an exception occurs, the machine restarts automatically.
The most normal thing will be enabling the ApplyCFG event via the CFG_ECHO
parameter (see Subsection 8.1.2.) and notifying Kimaldi Electronics Technical Service if
this event responds to a non-null void frame. The same information can be retrieved at
any time using the GetCrashInfo instruction and can then be deleted with ClearCrashInfo.
5.6.2. Remote FW update
Although not directly related to its functionality, it is worth mentioning the possibility to
reprogram BioMax2 or KBio2-Online. That must be done by the installation supervisor,
either directly through TCP/IP, or through UART0 whenever the IP stack itself must be
reprogrammed (UART2 is also a possibility, by means of a special USB-to-UART
cable).
