Device part of  <Figure 1> input Com Port(COM1), Baud Rate(9600), Parity Bit(2), Data Bit(7), Stop Bit(1) respectively, according to setting of controller.

Also you can input 'write after delay time' (0 ~ 5000 milli seconds, default : 500 milli seconds) by using option part.

 

EUROTHERM 800 communication driver¡¯s read schedule

Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:

1) Group ID – Group ID number of eurotherm controller = 0 ~ 99.

2) Read Command – Command = PV, SP, ER, SV, DR.... ( Refer to <Table 1> )

3) Unit ID Unit ID number of eurotherm controller = 0 ~ 99.

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

5) Read Size – Fixed to 1.

2. Writing settings

You can write the setting value 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             Group ID number of eurotherm controller = 0 ~ 99.

3)  ADDRESS           Unit ID number of eurotherm controller = 0 ~ 99. ( decimal unit )

4)  Extra1                   Write command = OP, SW, OS, XS, SL .....( Refer to <Table 1> )

5)  Extra2                   Selection of Decimal or Hex-decimal for output value.

1 : Hex-decimal value,

0 or other : Decimal value.

 

Write example 1)

PORT : 0 , STATION : 1, ADDRESS : 0002, EXTRA 1 : OP, EXTRA 2 :

The setting parameter shown above is a setting example of Output Deadband value of 1 Group ID, 2 Unit ID, EUROTHERM 800 controller. ( output value = decimal unit )

 

Write example 2)

PORT : 0 , STATION : 1, ADDRESS : 0002, EXTRA 1 : SW, EXTRA 2 : 1, output value =  8000h

The setting parameter shown above is a setting example of Status Word value of 1 Group ID, 2 Unit ID, EUROTHERM 800 controller. ( output value = hex-decimal unit )
