MCS 200 Series Communication Driver

 

MCS 200 Series is the driver to communicate with power Infrared temperature sensor(MCS-TP200), detection sensor for Arcing(MCS-AC200), detection sensor for partial discharge(MCS-PD200) controller of Multi Control System in Korea.

 

1. Read settings

<Figure 1> is read setting example of MCS 200 Series communication driver.

<Figure 1> Read setting example of MCS 200 Series communication driver

 Device part of  <Figure 1> input Com Port(COM8), Baud Rate(9600), Parity Bit(0), Data Bit(8), Stop Bit(1) respectively, accordint to the setting of controller.

 

Read schedule of MCS 200 Series communication driver

Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:

1)    Station – board ID number of controller, 0 ~ 99.

2)    Read command – command : CURR. ( refer to <Table 1>, <Table 2> )

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, CURR, 0, 0, 1,
READ, 2, CURR, 0, 5, 1,

READ, 3, CURR, 0, 10, 1,

MCS 200 Series communication driver store the same data in WORD, DWORD, FLOAT, DOUBLE 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>. you can also set read schedule by using this part.

When you click Add button or Edit button in dialogue box of <Figure 2>, dialogue box of <Figure 3> is shown.

 

2. Write settings

MCS 200 Series communication driver don't support 'write settings'.
