1.4 Version-Up History
Version 1.21
In April 2005 the FP-Modem-EU Version 1.21 was introduced (see label) with firmware version
1.38 (see ATi3 (see "
Command Tables" on page 68)). It includes the following enhancements:
• A new transparent multipoint mode (see "
Multipoint Operation" on page 61):
The modem collects all data received via RS232C and sends it after a specified idle time
is exceeded. The idle time can be defined in the new register S95. The multipoint
transparent mode can be selected with the following, new DIP switch settings:
DIP Setting Function
ON DIP
1234
Transparent mode with S95=3 (10ms), RS232C with 19200 8o1
ON DIP
1234
Transparent mode with S95=3 (10ms), RS232C with selectable baud rate
ON DIP
1234
Transparent mode with S95=1...255, baud rate set via terminal
• The FP Modem-EU was produced with lead free (RoHS conformity) technology.
• Minor bug fixes
Version 1.2
In February 2004 the FP-Modem-EU Version 1.2 was introduced (see label) with firmware
version 1.29 (ATi3 (see "
Command Tables" on page 68)). It includes the following
enhancements:
• If the PLC/Multipoint mode is selected (DIP2=ON, DIP3=ON) and DIP4=OFF, the baud
rate last used is fixed for multipoint communication. This change was necessary
because the FP-Sigma cannot be set up for 1200 bps.
• If the PLC/Multipoint mode is selected (DIP2=ON, DIP3=ON) and DIP4=ON, a fixed
baud rate of 19200 bps (8 data bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit) is used.
• The reliability of PLC/Multipoint data transmission has been improved:
- Deleting of scrambled characters after the ending CR code
- Default S93 setting increased from 10 to 20, i.e. 200ms delay for start/stop sending
- Additional buffering for immediately sending after receiving
• In dial-up and leased line mode a new default break setting \K6 has been implemented.
This allows 8-bit binary zero data with even parity to be transferred. This RS232C format
is used for IEC60870-5-101communication.
• A CLIP (Calling Line Identification Presentation) decoder is included, which makes it
possible to decode the caller's telephone number. CLIP signaling is done during the first
ring tone on an incoming call. The CLIP function must be activated by the national
