iCountPD Particle Counter Communication Driver

iCountPD Particle Counter is the driver to communicate with Particle Counter of Parker Hannifin Corp. in U.S.A.

1. Read settings

<Figure 1> is read setting example of  iCountPD Particle Counter communication driver.

<Figure 1> Read setting example of iCountPD Particle Counter communication driver

Device part of  <Figure 1> input com port(COM4), baud rate(9600), parity bit(0), data bit(8), stop bit(1)  respectively, accordint to the setting of counter.

Read schedule of iCountPD Particle Counter communication driver

Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:

1) station – don't card.

2) read command – fixed to DATA.

3) read 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, DATA, 0, 0, 1,

<Table 1> is data saving address and readed value for each read command of iCountPD Particle Counter communication driver.

iCountPD Particle Counter communication driver store the same data in WORD, DWORD, FLOAT, DOUBLE, INT64 memory(also save to STRING 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. 

<Figure 2> Example of iCountPD Particle Counter communication driver’s Option dialog box

You can set read schedule by using , ,  button and listbox of <Figure 2>.

<Figure 3> Example of iCountPD Particle Counter communication driver’s read schedule Add/Edit dialog box

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

2. Write settings

You can set setting value  by using 'write 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             don't care.

3)  ADDRESS          saving start addres of readed value.

4)  Extra1                  write command : STR, STP, SRI, RMV, SSH, SML, ...

5)  Extra2                 don't care.

Write example 1) 

PORT : 0   STATION : 0  ADDRESS : 0010  EXTRA1 : SRI 3   EXTRA2 : 0

The setting parameter shown above is Reporting Interval setting example to 3 second.

After writing, the readed setting value save at Communication Server(address = 10).

Write example 2) 

PORT : 0   STATION : 0  ADDRESS : 0015  EXTRA1 : RMV   EXTRA2 : 0

The setting parameter shown above is Moisture Sensor read setting example.

After writing, the readed Moisture Sensor value save 15 address Communication Server.
