ICP CON communication driver is the driver to communicate with controller of Measurement Systems Ltd. in U.K.

 

1. Read Settings

 

<Figure 1> is read setting example of ICP CON communication driver.

<Figure 1>  Read setting example of ICP CON 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 controller.

Please refer to ICP-CON user manaul for setting of baud rate, data bit, ...

 

ICP CON communication driver read schedule

Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:

1) Station – 0 ~ 255 controller station number. You can set by setup program of ICP-CON.

2) Read command – Command = AI, DI, AO, DO.

3) Read Start Address Read start address of controller.

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

5) Read Size – Word unit read size.

 

Read schedule example)

FLOAT,          1,           AI,          0,           0,           8,

READ,             2,           DI,         0,           0,           1,

READ,             3,           DO,        0,           1,           1,

FLOAT,            1,           AO,        0,           8,           1,

 

2. Writing settings

You can control ICP CON controller by using write settings

 

Digital Write

Digital write setting parameters are as follows:

1)  PORT                   Port no. (0 ~ 255)

2)  STATION              0 ~ 255 controller station number.

3)  ADDRESS           Writing address of ICP CON controller.

4)  Extra1                   Writing area = DO.

5)  Extra2                   Don't care.

 

Write example 1)

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

The setting parameter shown above is a 1st( 0 ) channel DO control( On/Off ) example of 1 station ICP CON controller. 

 

Analog Write

Analog write setting parameters are as follows:

1)  PORT                   Port no. (0 ~ 255)

2)  STATION              0 ~ 255 controller station number.

3)  ADDRESS           Writing address of ICP CON controller.

4)  Extra1                   Writing area = AO.

5)  Extra2                   Don't care.

 

Write example 1)

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

The setting parameter shown above is a 1st( 0 ) channel AO setting example of 1 station ICP CON controller. 

 

3. Connection of communication cable

Please connect direct RS-232C serial communication cable to ICP CON controller.
