Flotron NF560 Batch Controller communication driver read schedule
Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:
1) STATION – Equipment ID = 0 ~ 99.
2) Read Command – Command = ID, BS, T?, R?, O?, B?, C?, P?. (Refer to <Table 1>)
3) Read Start Address – don't care.
4) Save Start Address for Communication Server – saveing start address of Communication Server.
5) Read Size – read size = 1.

<Table 1> is a description of read commands type and stored values of Flotron NF560 Batch Controller communication driver.
| Read Command | Content | Stored Values | Remarks |
| ID | Read of Connected Equipment ID | Start Add + 0 : Equipment ID | When only one equipment connecting |
| BS | Read of Batch Status | Start Add + 0 : Batch Status | 1 = Completion (R1 : Off, R2 : Off) 2 = Pause (R1 : Off, R2 : Off) 3 = Slow Start (R1 : On, R2 : Off) 4 = Pre Stop (R1 : On, R2 : Off) 5 = Flow Full (R1 : On, R2 : On) 6 = Wait for Completion (R1 : Off, R2 : Off) 7 = Time Out (R1 : Off, R2 : Off) |
| T? | Read of Total Value | Start Add + 0 : Batch Count Start Add + 1 : rst Total(float) Start Add + 2 : acc Total(float) |
|
| R? | Read of Current Value | Start Add + 0 : Current Value(float) | |
| O? | Read of Total, Current Value | Start Add + 0 : Batch Count Start Add + 1 : rst Total(float) Start Add + 2 : acc Total(float) Start Add + 3 : Current Value(float) |
|
| B? | Read of Batch Quantity | Start Add + 0 : Batch Quantity(float) | |
| C? | Read of Temperature | Start Add + 0 : Temperature(float) | |
| P? | Read of Pressure | Start Add + 0 : Pressure(float) | |

Flotron NF560 Batch Controller communication driver store the same data in WORD, DWORD, FLOAT, DOUBLE, STRING memory, but the data format are different.
If you click the icon
in
protocol option part, you can see the dialogue box such as <Figure 2>. you can
also set read schedule by using this part.

You can set read schedule by using
,
,
button and listbox of <Figure 2>.
 |
| <Figure 3> Example of Flotron NF560 Batch Controller communication driver’s read schedule Add/Edit dialogue box |
When you click Add button or Edit button in dialogue box of <Figure 2>, dialogue box of <Figure 3> is shown.
You can setting Batch value and control Batch start, stop etc of Flotron NF560 Batch Controller by using write commands.
Bit write
Bit write and word write have the same setting parameters except output value.
Word Write
Word write setting parameters are as follows:
1) PORT : Port no. (0 ~ 255)
2) STATION : Equipment ID = 0 ~ 99.
3) ADDRESS : don't care.
4) EXTRA 1 : Write Command = BV(setting of Batch Quantity) , BH(Batch Pause/Stop), BR(Batch Reset), BC(Batch Start).
BV Write Command format : BV.x , x = 0 ~ 5 dot position.(default = 2)
5) EXTRA 2 : don't care.
Write example 1)
PORT:0, station:1, ADDRESS:0000, Extra1:BV.2, Extra : 0
The setting parameter shown above is an example of word write for 'Batch Quantity' setting of Flotron NF560 Batch Controller connected with 0 port, set to 1 Equipment ID.
Write example 2)
PORT:0, station:1, ADDRESS:0000, Extra1:BH, Extra : 0
The setting parameter shown above is an example of word write for 'Batch Pause/Stop' control of Flotron NF560 Batch Controller connected with 0 port, set to 1 Equipment ID.
Write example 3)
PORT:0, station:1, ADDRESS:0000, Extra1:BC, Extra : 0
The setting parameter shown above is an example of word write for 'Batch Start' control of Flotron NF560 Batch Controller connected with 0 port, set to 1 Equipment ID.
Block Write
Flotron NF560 Batch Controller communication driver don’t support ‘Block write’.
You have to connect serial communication cable in the following ways.
Connection of RS-422 communication cable
You must connect RS-422 Rx+, Rx-, Tx+, Tx- terminal of Flotron NF560 Batch Controller and Tx+, Tx-, Rx+, Rx- terminal of PC Respectively.
<Figure 4> is example of RS-422 communication cable connection to Flotron NF560 Batch Controller.
