KU-R3400 Card Reader communication driver

KU-R3400 Card Reader communication driver is the driver to communicate with carder reader of Kyushu Matsushita Electric Co., Ltd. in Japan.

1. Read Settings

<Figure 1> is read setting example of KU-R3400 Card Reader communication driver.

<Figure 1>  Read setting example of KU-R3400 Card Reader communication driver

Device part of  <Figure 1> input Com Port(COM1), Baud Rate(9600), Parity Bit(2), Data Bit(8), Stop Bit(1) respectively, according to controller.

In protocol option part, you can set 'reading period of status value'( mSec unit , default = 5000 mSec ).

Baud rate of KU-R3400 Card Reader can set 4800, 9600, 19200 BPS, but Parity Bit, Data Bit, Stop Bit are fixed to 2, 8, 1.

Note) KU-R3400 Card Reader communication driver made to read periodcally by setting time intervals.

Since the 'response time', you have to set 'Write TimeOut' more than 8000(mSec).

 KU-R3400 Card Reader communication driver only use one line read schedule. ( ignore when 2, ... line )

KU-R3400 Card Reader communication driver read schedule 

1) Station – don't care.

2) Read command – don't care.

3) Read atart address –  don't care.

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

start address + 0 : status value 1 of card reader, ( 0 ~ 6, refer to < Table 1> )

start address + 1 : status value 2 of card reader, ( 0 ~ 6, refer to < Table 1> )

start address + 2 : status value 1 of sensor, ( 0h ~ 0Fh, refer to < Table 2> ),

start address + 3 : status value 2 of sensor, ( 0h ~ 0Fh, refer to < Table 2> ),

start address + 4 : readed status of track 1,

start address + 5 : current value of track 1,

start address + 6 : readed status of track 2,

start address + 7 : current value of track 2,

start address + 8 : readed status of track 3,

start address + 9 : current value of track 3. 

5) Read Size – Fixed to 1.

Read schedule example)

READ,      ,      ,     0,    0,   1,

<Table 1> is value and contents for Status value 1, 2 of card reader.

<Table 2> is contents and meaning for each bit about Status value 1, 2 of sensor.

 KU-R3400 Card Reader communication driver store the same data in WORD, DWORD, FLOAT, STRING(only relating data) 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>.

2. Writing settings

 You can read and write by using 'writing 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             whether to read at file the Write command.

 255 : read 'Write command and elements' data at 'work folder\SCAN\comm%03d.ini' file.(%03d : PORT number, refer to <Table 5> for input method of write command )

 0, ... : use 'Extra1' data for 'Write command and elements'. 

3)  ADDRESS          don't care.

4)  Extra1                  Write command and elements. ( refer to <Table 3 )

5) Extra2                   Data saving address for read command.( refer to <Table 3> )

<Table 3> is write command and contents of  KU-R3400 Card Reader communication driver.

<Table 4> is meaning and value for communication status value.

<Table 5> is input method for Write command and elements data.

Write example 1)

PORT:0,  station:0, ADDRESS:0000, Extra1: DT,  Extra2 : 50

The setting parameter shown above is Data Request reading example. After reading, the readed value save at 50 ~ 51( 50 = communication status, 51 = card number or value ) WORD, FLOAT, DWORD memory.

If read error occurs, only save communication status data at 50 WORD, FLOAT, DWORD memory.

Note) Normally, DT command automatically execute by read routime. So, It does not need to write. ( write command )

Write example 2)

PORT:0,  station:0, ADDRESS:0000, Extra1: WD:3/123,  Extra2 : 100

The setting parameter shown above is 123 data setting example to 3 track. After writing, the setting result value save at 100( 90 =normal) WORD, FLOAT, DWORD memory.

Write example 3)

PORT:0,  station:0, ADDRESS:0000, Extra1: WR,  Extra2 : 110

The setting parameter shown above is Write Verify example for WD command. After writing, the setting result value save at 110( 90 =normal) WORD, FLOAT, DWORD memory.

Note) You have to write sequentially example 2) and example 3) for data write to track.  Namely, WD and WR command must write sequentially.

Write example 4)

PORT:0,  station:0, ADDRESS:0000, Extra1: PD:0/10/20/test character123,  Extra2 : 120

The setting parameter shown above is data setting example, the setting data = horizontal direction( 0 ), start X : 10,start Y : 20, printed string : ‘test character123’. After writing, the setting result value save at 120( 90 =normal) WORD, FLOAT, DWORD memory.

Write example 5)

PORT:0,  station:0, ADDRESS:0000, Extra1: PR,  Extra2 : 130

The setting parameter shown above is printing control(delete old printed data) example for previously setting string. After writing, the setting result value save at 130( 90 =normal) WORD, FLOAT, DWORD memory.

If you want to return the card after printing, use PO command instead PR.

Note) When you printing at equal X, Y position, the two string are duplicated.

In this case, use PC command (delete previous string ).

Also, you have to write sequentially example 4) and example 5) for printing the string(characters).  Namely, PD and PR( or PO, ... ) command must write sequentially.

Write example 6)

PORT:0,  station:0, ADDRESS:0000, Extra1: CO,  Extra2 : 140

The setting parameter shown above is Card Eject (Front) control example. After writing, the setting result value save at 140( 90 =normal) WORD, FLOAT, DWORD memory.
