Machine Connection
The Procyon uses two channels of communication:
Command Response Channel (Port 50007)
Event Channel (Port 50008)
Command Response Channel
The Command Response Channel is a bi-direction channel of communication and is opened by
creating a TCP/IP socket connection to the IP address of the reader on port 50007.
Once a connection to this port is opened, a software application can send properly formatted
commands to the reader and receive a response.
All TSI messages sent to the reader on port 50007 must be terminated with the following:
\r\n
All responses from the reader will be terminated with the following:
\r\n\r\n
All commands that are successfully processed by the Procyon will respond with “ok” and, in some
cases, followed by additional information. For example:
ver.firmware\r\n
ok TSI_VER: RC1.4, STARDUST: 1.0.0, GTVER: 2014112401\r\n\r\n
If the command is unsuccessful an “error” response will be returned. For example:
ver.fi\r\n
error.parser.unknown_command\r\n\r\n
The Procyon supports up to 12 simultaneous Command Response Channel connections.
