MASTER & SLAVE (cascade)
3. MASTER & SLAVE (CASCADE)
3.1. General
The system V4 firmware allows to cascade two docking stations (both either ARGUS 60 M
or ARGUS 100 M). Thus many more combinations of pumps are possible and a single barcode reader can be used to operate both docking stations.
With the ARGUS service configuration indexes # 1+2+3+4 you define a
logical communication sequence:

4.1. General
The new ARGUS service utility is a highly user friendly PC software which can config-
ure and upgrade ARGUS devices over PC serial COM port. With this Windows based
software you can also set pump clock, change PIN code, read and print out history
and easily replicate pump configurations, and so on. The modern and clearly structured design of this self-describing PC-tool allows a very easy and rapid modification
of the ARGUS 600 Syringe pump, the ARGUS 707 / 708 Volumetric infusion pump
and the ARGUS 60 M / 100 M docking station. This software may be available from
your local distributor or directly from ARGUS Medical.
REMARK:
“ARGUS service” may only be used with V4 software versions greater or equal to 4.30.
CAUTION!
The docking station has to be disconnected from the pumps before and while the serial interface cable is connected to the docking station.

5. SOFTWARE UPDATES
5.1. General
This chapter describes the procedure to perform software (firmware) updates on the
ARGUS 60 M and/or 100 M docking station.
To check the currently installed software release in your docking station:
•With versions 1.x (pre-V4), you can either read out the history or enquiry the dock-
ing station’s status over the serial interface (see older manuals).
•With versions 4.x (V4), you can use the ARGUS service tool.
Please refer to your local distributor or ARGUS Medical AG to determine the latest
software release available to run on your device hardware.
The ARGUS 60 M & 100 M contains a flash memory which can be updated easily via
the serial interface of a PC. This flash memory is divided in 2 sectors:
- User Program sector - Boot loader sector
The User Program sector contains the program which runs when the device is
switched on normally. The Boot loader sector contains a supportive program which
runs only when updating the flash memory.
SOFTWARE UPDATES
5.2. Requirements for a software update
To update an ARGUS Medical device, the following items are needed:
•PC with Microsoft
®
Windows™ 2000/XP or newer, the Microsoft .NET Framework
2.0 must be installed!
• PC configuration tool “ARGUS service”
• A straight RS-232 serial interface cable (REF 12.041), connected to the
data interface (lower plug)
•Latest firmware (‘user program’), either as a file (A100_Vxxx.txt),
(“xxx” is the placeholder for the firmware version) or embedded inside ARGUS ser-vice (this embedded version might be older, ask for a newer ARGUS service).
Those items are available from your local distributor or from ARGUS Medical AG.
5.3. Software update procedure
5.3.1. General
Please carefully check the software presently installed on the docking. If you have a
firmware lower than version 4.xx please follow chapter 5.4 to upgrade the firmware.
NOTE!
The user program performs an internal ROM-Test during the self test phase of the
docking station. If an error occurred during the update process the device will enter the
fail safe state (for fault codes please refer to chapter 8.2 ).
Please contact your local distributor or ARGUS Medical AG to determine the latest
software release able to run on your device hardware.

Serial communication of the DOCKING
7. SERIAL COMMUNICATION OF THE DOCKING
7.1. General
The ARGUS 60 & 100 M docking station has one serial interface on board, which is
connected to the RS232 data connector.
Important remark!
This RS232 connector is galvanic isolated, but the docking slots for the pumps are
non-isolated interfaces. So if a pump is docked into the docking station, the software
switches automatically to the docking interface and the docking station builds the
separation device (galvanic isolation) then.
7.2. Serial communication protocol V4
The following characteristics are basics for all the ARGUS devices (volumetric pumps,
syringe pumps and docking stations with V4.xx):
• Full-duplex RS232, currently 4800 baud for single pumps,
9600 baud for docking stations (also on master/slave-link).
• Simple master (host/PC) – slave (device) communication (host does polling).
• The host has to repeat the request if there is no valid response.
• Uses a checksum (CRC-8).
• Binary data transmission, thus no ASCII/text parsing.
• Fast & direct communication with pumps on ARGUS docking station.
• Specified timeouts during remote mode.
A Programmer’s Kit with documentation is available on request from ARGUS.
7.3. Monitoring
The interface protocol of software release V4 is intended to be used in combination
with a PDMS (Patient Data Management System). For visualization and documentation purposes, the status of each docked-in pump and the status of the docking station
itself can be requested through the serial interface.
CAUTION!
Those PC transmitted data are not intended to be used for diagnostic or remote controlling of the pumps or other devices.
7.4. Remoting
Future extensions will allow remote controlling of the pumps. This requires written
permission from ARGUS Medical.
