WR3385-891K communication driver

WR3385-891K communication driver is the driver to communicate with LCU WR3385/3386 and N-LIU WRT2000/2040 etc lighting controller of National Co. in Japan.

1. Read settings

<Figure 1> is read setting example of WR3385-891K communication driver.

<Figure 1> Read setting example of WR3385-891K communication driver

Device part of  <Figure 1> input com port( COM1 ), baud rate( 9600 ), parity bit(0), data bit(8), stop bit(1) according to DIP switch which is installed at communication module of WR3385.

Also, input the read interval( default  : 3000 milli second ) and ratio of Polling, Selecting ( default = 5 ) which is classified by comma.

Note) Because WR3385-891K communication driver is structured as read at a time, set the read interval as 1000 ~ 3000 mSec and set the ratio of Polling to Selecting as 5 ~ 20.

Also, equipment of WR3385 etc doesn't respond to read command at once, so the read value may not be come into communication memory immediately. (Because structure of equipment responds to command, after time go)
