Dynatronix DP/DPR Series communication driver

Dynatronix DP/DPR Series communication driver is the driver to communicate with DC Power Supply of Dynatronix Inc. in U.S.A.

1. Read Settings

<Figure 1> is read setting example of Dynatronix DP/DPR Series communication driver.

<Figure 1>  Read setting example of Dynatronix DP/DPR Series communication driver

Device part of  <Figure 1> input Com Port(COM1), Baud Rate(9600), Parity Bit(0), Data Bit(8), Stop Bit(1) respectively, according to setting of controller.

In protocol option part, you can set whether to use and check CRC code( 1, use, 0 = don't use, default = 1)

Dynatronix DP/DPR Series communication driver read schedule

Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:

1) Unit address – 0 ~ 99 unit ID number. 0 = global, 1 ~ 99 = unit address.

2) Read command – command = CURR, SET.

CURR = read of current value,

SET = read setting value. 

3) Read start address – 0 ~ 9 setting number when SET command.

4) Save start address for Communication Server – Saving start address of Communication Server.

5) Read size – fixed to 1. ( refer to <Table 1>, <Table 2> )

Read schedule example)

READ, 1,  CURR, 0,   0, 1,

READ, 1,     SET,  0, 30, 1,

<Table 1>, <Table 2> are data saving address and contents for CURR, SET read command.

Dynatronix DP/DPR Series communication driver store the same data in WORD, DWORD, FLOAT, DOUBLE memory, but the data format are different.

If you click the icon  in protocol option part at <Figure 1>, you can see the dialog box such as <Figure 2>. you can also set read schedule by using this part. 

<Figure 2> Example of Dynatronix DP/DPR Series communication driver’s Option dialog box

You can set read schedule by using , , button and listbox of <Figure 2>.

Also, you can setwhether to use and check CRC code by using the part of ‘Use and Check CRC’ shown in <Figure 2>.

<Figure 3> Example of Dynatronix DP/DPR Series communication driver’s read schedule Add/Edit dialog box

When you click Add button or Edit button in dialogue box of <Figure 2>, dialogue box of <Figure 3> is shown.

2. Write settings

You can set Dynatronix DP/DPR Series controller by using 'write settings'. 

Digital Write

Digital write and analog write have the same setting parameters except output value. 

Analog Write 

Analog write setting parameters are as follows:

1)  PORT                   Port no. (0 ~ 255)

2)  STATION             0 ~ 99 unit ID number. 0 = global, 1 ~ 99 = unit address.

3)  ADDRESS          0 ~ 32 writing contents when SET write command. ( refer to <Table 3> )

4)  Extra1                  writte command = SET, A_SET, H_SET.

SET : writing of  setting value, ( refer to <Table 3> )

A_SET : writing of activated 'setup' number, ( Output value : 0 ~ 10 setup number )

H_SET : changing of communication mode. ( Output value  : 0=panel, 1=host, 2=analog, 3=panel-analog, 4=host-analog )

5) Extra2                   0 ~ 10 'setup' number when SET write command.

Note) You can write 'setting value', ... when communication mode = 'Host.

Also, 1 ~ 9 setup number can only use the device that installed 'flash' memory.

<Table 3> is setting parameters for SET write command.

Write example 1)

PORT:0,  station:1, ADDRESS:0000, Extra1:SET,  Extra2 : 0

The setting parameter shown above is regulation mode setting example of unit ID 1 Dynatronix DP/DPR Series controller.

Write example 2)

PORT:0,  station:1, ADDRESS:0001, Extra1:SET,  Extra2 : 0

The setting parameter shown above is forward current value setting example of unit ID 1 Dynatronix DP/DPR Series controller.

Write example 3)

PORT:0,  station:1, ADDRESS:0000, Extra1:H_SET,  Extra2 : 0, Output value = 1

The setting parameter shown above is changing to 'Host' mode setting example of unit ID 1 Dynatronix DP/DPR Series controller.

Block Write

Dynatronix DP/DPR Series communication driver don't support 'Block Write'.
