Particle Counter C10/77 communication driver

Particle Counter C10/77 communication driver is the driver to communicate with Particle sensor of Analytical Technology, Inc.in U.K.

1. Read settings

<Figure 1> is read setting example of Particle Counter C10/77 communication driver. 

<Figure 1>  Read setting example of Particle Counter C10/77 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.

In protocol option, you can set 'use of RS-232C communication mode'( 0 : don't use(RS-485 mode), 1 = use, default = 0 ).

Particle Counter C10/77 communication driver’s read schedule 

Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:

1) Station – controller station number = 0 ~ 255 when RS-485 mode. RS-232C = fixed to 0.

2) Read Command – fixed to READ.

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. ( refer to <Table 1> )

Read schedule example) 

READ,     0,  READ,     0,    0,   1,

<Table 1> Data saving address and contents of  Particle Counter C10/77 communication driver. 

  Particle Counter C10/77 communication driver store the same data in WORD, DWORD, FLOAT, STRING memory, but the data format are different.

If you click the icon  in protocol option part, 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 dialog box of <Figure 2>, dialog box of <Figure 3> is shown.

2. Writing settings

 Particle Counter C10/77 communication driver don't support 'write settings'.

3. Connection of communication cable and main power

Connection of communication cable and main power are as follows.

Connection of communication cable

Please connect direct RS-232C/485 communication cable to RS-232C/485 9pin socket such as <Figure 4>.
