FnS FC410 Series Communication Driver

 

FnS FC410 Series Communication Driver is the driver to communicate with GAS Flow Computer of FnS Plus Co., Ltd. in Korea.

 

1. Read settings

 

<Figure 1> is read setting example of  FnS FC410 Series communication driver. 

<Figure 1>  Read setting example of  FnS FC410 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.

 

FnS FC410 Series communication driver¡¯s read schedule 

Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:

1) Station – Controller station number = 0 ~ 99.

2) Read Command – Command = FLOW, CVOL, A_CVOL, M_FLOW, MASS, A_MASS, TEMP, PRES, DATE, TIME. ( Refer to <Table 1> )

3) Read Start Address Don't care.

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

5) Read Size – fixed to 1.

 

Read schedule example) 

READ, 1, FLOW, 0, 0, 1,
READ, 1, CVOL, 0, 1, 1,
READ, 1, M_FLOW, 0, 2, 1,
READ, 1, MASS, 0, 3, 1,
 

<Table 1> is read/write command and contents of FnS FC410 Series communication driver.

Read/write command Contents Read/write Remarks
FLOW Read of CVOL Flow Rate Read only  
CVOL Read/write of CVOL Total Read/Write Write = reset to 0
A_CVOL Read/write of CVOL Acc Total
M_FLOW Read of Mass Flow Rate    
MASS Read/write of Mass Total Read/Write Write = reset to 0
A_MASS Read/write of Mass Acc Total
TEMP Read of current temperature Read only  
PRES Read of pressure  
DATE Read/write of current date Read/Write Write = synchronize the computer's date
TIME Read/write of current time Write = synchronize the computer's time
<Table 1> Read/write command and contents of FnS FC410 Series communication driver

FnS FC410 Series communication driver store the same data in WORD, DWORD, FLOAT 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. 

<Figure 2> Example of FnS FC410 Series communication driver¡¯s Option dialogue box

 

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

<Figure 3> Example of FnS FC410 Series 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.

 

 

2. Writing settings

You can write setting value by using write settings.

  

Bit Write

Bit write and word write have the same setting parameters except output value.( 0 or 1 )

 

Word Write

Word write setting parameters are as follows:

1)  PORT                   Port no. (0 ~ 255)

2)  STATION             Controller station address = 0 ~ 99.

3)  ADDRESS           Don't care.

4)  Extra1                   Write command = CVOL, A_CVOL, MASS, A_MASS, DATE, TIME. ( for 302 model, Refer to <Table 1> )

CVOL, A_CVOL, MASS, A_MASS : always reset to 0,

DATE, TIME : synchronize the computer's date, time

5)  Extra2                   Don't care.

 

Write example 1)

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

The setting parameter shown above is an example of reset to 0 the value of CVOL Total.

 

Write example 2)

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

The setting parameter shown above is an example of synchronization with computer's time.

 

Block Write

FnS FC410 Series  communication driver don¡¯t support ¡®Block Write¡¯.

 

3. Connection of communication calble

You have to connect RS-485(RS-422 or RS-232C) communication cable between FnS FC410 Series and computer such as <Figure 4>. 

 <Figure 4> is connection example of main power line and communication cable to  FnS FC410 Series controller.

<Figure 5> is appearance of  FnS FC410 Series controller.
