Application Notes
If STABILOCK is fitted with the D-AMPS module, the "RS-232/Centronics Inter-
face" hardware option cannot be installed. But to allow data communication with
other units or printout on conventional printers, the D-AMPS module has a fully
functional RS-232 interface (socket Bu 105).
Requirements for operation
The RS-232 interface of the D-AMPS module will only work if your Communica-
tion Test Set satisfies the following requirements:
STABILOCK 4031
HOST-MCU ≥ 3.83
STABILOCK 4032
HOST-MCU ≥ 5.03
STABILOCK 4032 MS
HOST-MCU ≥ 4.03
RS-232 driver software
DIG-MCU ≥ 1.20
If the STATUS mask (called up with [AUX]
+
{DEF.PAR}
+
{STATUS}
) shows an older
status, a software update will be necessary.
☞
Do not start the IS-136 MS Test system program: the RS-232 interface of the
D-AMPS module will not work properly if the IS-136 MS Test system program is
called up at the same time.
Control commands and transmission protocol
The RS-232 interface of the D-AMPS module offers exactly the same functions
as the RS-232 interface of the hardware option "RS-232/Centronics Interface".
All control commands for the interface are explained in Chapter 8 under the IEEE
section "Special commands". Setting the transmission protocol (baud rate, num-
ber of data bits, parity, handshake, etc) is explained in Chapter 4, section
"General Parameters".
Special features Special operating parameters for the RS-232 interface are
normally assigned with the commands WRITE[3000...] or
SLAVE3000... (see Chapter 8). Replace control sequence
3000 by control sequence
2010
if you want to assign the
RS-232 interface of the D-AMPS module special operating
parameters.
Example: not WRITE[300012...] but WRITE[201012...].
