7 Communication via Service Protocol
7.1 General
The service protocol enables parameterization and control of the position indicator via ASCII
commands. No additional devices must be connected to the RS485 interface since this
protocol is not bus-compatible.
An ASCII terminal sends a letter and additional parameters if required (ASCII).
Subsequently, the position indicator sends a reply with a concluding <CR>.
Available baud rates: 19.2 kBit / 57.6 kBit (factory setting) / 115.2 kBit
Additional settings: No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no handshake
