Refrigeration -
(See figure 3 above)
1. Refrigerant gas enters the compressor at low temperature and pressure. It leaves the compressor at high
pressure and temperature.
2. The gas passes into the condenser, where heat is removed by the external water supply, causing the gas
to condense into a liquid.
3. The cool liquid refrigerant exits the condenser and passes through a filter dryer that removes any
residual moisture or contaminants.
4.2.1 If Cooling Is Required:
1. Solenoid valve SV1 opens (coil energized), allowing the refrigerant to flow into the Thermostatic
Expansion Valve (TEV). The pressure drop across the TEV causes the refrigerant to change from
a liquid to a mixture of liquid and gas.
2. The liquid and gas mixture enters the heat exchanger where it becomes entirely a gas. The
process of expansion from a liquid to a gas reduces the temperature by absorbing energy.
3. The refrigerant leaving the heat exchanger returns to the compressor through the sub-cooler and a
crankcase pressure regulator. The sub-cooler further cools the refrigerant entering the TEV.
4.2.2 If Cooling Is Not Required:
1. Solenoid valve SV1 closes (coil de-energized).
2. Hot refrigerant from the compressor is passed through SV2 (coil energized) and a hot gas bypass
valve before returning to the compressor suction line. This bypassing allows the compressor to run
continuously.
3. Cooling, required to prevent the compressor from overheating, is provided by allowing some of
the liquid from the condenser to pass through the safety cooling automatic expansion valve into
the suction line, thus maintaining the discharge gas temperature below 99 °C.
TCU 40/80 Temperature Control Unit 9
4.3 Coolant Circuit
Coolant is pulled from the reservoir by the circulation pump and transferred to the heat exchanger where it
is cooled by the refrigeration system as required. It then flows to the process equipment by means of the
coolant supply hose. The coolant returns to the TCU 40/80 plus reservoir by means of the coolant return
hose. The coolant system requires 8 liters of coolant for the reservoir plus the volume of the circulation
lines and any other spaces filled with coolant that are attached to the TCU 40/80 plus. To increase the
coolant temperature, the reservoir uses an electrical resistance heater that is controlled by the temperature
controller. The heater must be fully submerged at all times, and if the coolant in the reservoir falls below
3.5 liters, a level switch causes the status alarm signal to automatically shut down the TCU 40/80 plus.
A three-float level switch, a thermostat, and a flow sensor provide coolant status signals to the TCU 40/80
plus control system.
4.4 Temperature Monitoring
A Resistance Temperature Device (RTD) monitors the temperature of the coolant leaving the TCU 40/80
plus and transmits this information to the temperature controller. The TCU 40/80 plus compares the output
of the RTD to the selected process temperature (SV1) and determines if the coolant needs to be cooled or
heated. The temperature controller then operates the main cooling solenoid valve or heater. The coolant
temperature at the supply port on the rear panel is measured by a local, internally connected RTD. If
sensing of process equipment temperature is needed, connect an RTD to J72J3 at the rear panel (See Figure
5 on page 13). For remote connection schematic details, see Figure 16 on page 56.

7.3 Filling the Reservoir
Warning
When retrofitting a TCU 40/80
plus in place of a water/glycol
unit, the coolant lines must be
1. Open the vent port valve (See Figure 9 on page 19) to avoid air locks that may slow filling.
2. Remove the plug and fasten the funnel accessory to the ½" fill port located at the rear of the unit (See
Figure 9 on page 19).
3. Fill the reservoir with Fluorinert heat transfer fluid. The amount needed for a new installation is
approximately 44 pounds for the TCU and an additional amount for process lines (approximately 0.15
pounds/ft of 1/2” tube) and other external volumes.
4. Begin filling the reservoir until the Coolant Normal Level LED on the rear electrical panel turns green.
When the LED turns green, add approximately 4 liters more of fluid (approximately 17 pounds).
5. If this is a new installation, the lines to the tool are empty. If possible, start the TCU. The coolant will
leave the TCU to fill the lines and the level in the TCU reservoir will decrease. Observe the TCU to
determine if the Coolant Low Level LED on the rear panel turns amber. If so, add approximately 4
liters more fluid (approximately 17 pounds).
6. In the event of over-filling, the Coolant Normal LED will change from green to amber. Drain excess
fluid until the Coolant Normal Level LED turns green. Refer to Draining/Bleeding the Coolant
Reservoir, below.

9. Accessories And Spare Parts
Accessories and spare parts are available from service centers at BOC Edwards companies in Brazil,
Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, USA, and a worldwide network of distributors. The majority
of these centers employ service engineers who have undergone comprehensive BOC Edwards training
courses. When ordering please state for each part required:
The LTCI is a microprocessor-based system installed in the TCU 40/80 plus chiller unit providing
LonWorks network nodes with access to a number of chiller control and status monitoring points.
When used with Lam processing equipment, the LTCI communicates primarily with a Lam Host Node
using the LonWorks protocol in accordance with the specifications provided in [1]. Figure 17 shows
the overall LTCI architecture.

Figure 17 - Overall LTCI Architecture
10.1.3 Requirements
1. Physical
The LTCI is configured as two subassemblies: the Interface Module (IM) and the Control Module
(CM). The CM utilizes a standard Echelon twisted pair control module programmed to implement the
control and status monitoring functions. In addition to the NEURON processor and support functions,
the CM provides the LonWorks network interface transceiver, allowing the LTCI to be adapted to
different LonWorks physical media by exchanging the CM. The IM provides recommended
termination loads for both twisted pair and FTT transceiver types with termination selected via
jumpers.
The IM supports 3 functions: (1) conditioning of ±15VDC and +5VDC input power to provide filtered
+5VDC and ±12VDC supply power for digital and analog functions, (2) signal conversion and
conditioning functions to support the analog and digital interfaces between the LTCI processor and
TCU 40/80 plus and, (3) physical connection points supporting the TCU 40/80 plus and LonWorks
network interfaces. The CM plugs into the IM directly as a daughterboard.
2. Size/Weight/Mounting Requirements
The CM and IM functions are implemented as separate modules that are connected together to operate.
The IM supports the physical mounting within the TCU 40/80 plus drawer using three standoffs. The
CM connects to the IM using two connectors: one supporting the LonWorks network interface and one
supporting a digital interface between the NEURON processor circuitry on the CM and the power and
signal conditioning circuitry on the IM. In addition to the electrical connections, the CM is secured to
the IM using threaded standoffs.
Figure 18 shows a preliminary physical layout of the LTCI unit, combining the IM and CM modules.

3. Address and Subnet Switch Settings
The LonWorks PCB has two DIP switches SW3 and SW4. Switch SW3, which has four switches, is
the Subnet Switch. When the switches are in the CLOSE position, their value is 0. When they are in
the OPEN position, their values from right to left are 1, 2, 4 and 8.
Open
SW3
4 3 2 1
8 4 2 1
values
The Subnet Switch default value is set at 2. Therefore switch 2 is in the open position. If SW3 is to be
set at 3 then switch 1 and 2 should be in the OPEN position (1+2 = 3).
If SW3 is to be set at 5 then switch 1 and 3 should be in the OPEN position (1+4 = 5).
Switch SW4, which has 8 switches, is the Address Switch. When the switches are in the CLOSE
position, their value is 0. SW4 address, when all the switches are in the CLOSE position, is 65. When
they are in the OPEN position, their values from right to left are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128. The
lowest address value that SW4 could be set at is 65 and highest address is 95.

SW3 set to 2
values SW4 set to 70
The Address Switch default value is set at 70. Therefore switch 1 and 3 are in the open position
(65 + 1 + 4 = 70)
If SW4 is to be set at 85 then switch 3 and 5 should be in the OPEN position
(65 + 4 + 16 = 85).
If SW4 is to be set at 95 then switch 2 through 5 should be in the OPEN position
(65 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 = 95).
4. Power Requirements
The LTCI requires a constant supply of ±15VDC & 5VDC at J2 for use as primary power. From this
primary power source, the IM power conditioning circuitry provides the LTCI with two filtered DC
voltages, +5VDC and +12VDC to support the signal conditioning and conversion functions.

6. Functional Requirements
The LTCI supports the following TCU 40/80 plus control and monitoring functions:
1. Temperature Monitoring/Control
2. Start/Stop Control
3. Status Monitoring
The functional requirements associated with each of these capabilities are described in detail below.
LTCI operation involves communication with the Lam Host Node using LonWorks network variables
(NVs) and the following descriptions make a number of references to these NVs.
7. TCU 40/80 plus Temperature Monitoring/Control
The LTCI interfaces with the analog input and output interfaces of TCU 40/80 plus’s embedded
temperature controller (ETC), allowing it to specify the process temperature setpoint and monitor the
current process temperature respectively. Each of these analog interfaces uses a ±10V signal to linearly
represent temperature in accordance with the specifications given in Table 16. During operation the
LTCI samples the ETC voltage output, convert it to temperature, and, and transmit it to the Lam Host
Node via the LonWorks interface in accordance with the protocol described in [1] and [2]. Table 16
specifies the process temperature-sampling rate used by the LTCI.

Notes
Sent to Lam Host as described in Text in
accordance with host update and deadband
specification.
Although the process temperature is sampled at regular intervals, not every sample is transmitted to the
host. The LTCI provides two methods of limiting the rate of the temperature updates that it receives:
1. Specification of a minimum update period by the host using the nviNodeConfig network
variable
2. Implementation of a temperature update deadband of ±1° C.
The minimum update period specifies the minimum amount of time that must transpire between
temperature updates. The LTCI ensures that temperature updates are not sent more frequently than
the time specified by the minimum update period.
The temperature update deadband specifies the minimum temperature change between host
updates. The current process temperature must differ from the last host update by more than the
amount specified by the update deadband in order for the LTCI to send it to the host. This function
prevents the host from receiving unnecessary updates indicating identical temperatures or very
small temperature changes. In order to provide the host with reasonably fresh process data, the
LTCI ensures that a temperature update is sent to the host within at least 10 minimum update
periods regardless of whether it exceeds the specified deadband.
The TCU 40/80 plus may be operated in either Local Mode or Remote Mode, with selection made
manually via a rear panel switch. The LTCI commands the TCU 40/80 plus to use either the local
or remote temperature probes in accordance with the switch setting through connection to the TCU
40/80 plus’s Host Interface contacts controlling relay CR9. The network variable used to send the
process temperature to the host, nvoData, will contain a flag indicating the temperature
measurement source as well as the temperature.
The LTCI will also be capable of commanding the TCU 40/80 plus to utilize either a Local or
Analog Setpoint specification using the D/I interface of the ETC, replacing the functionality of
CR14. The Local Setpoint is fixed and preprogrammed into the ETC, whereas the Analog Setpoint
is generated by the LTCI in accordance with the temperatureSetpoint member of the
nviConfig network variable, specified by the Lam Host Node. Upon receipt of an update to the
nviConfig network variable, the LTCI sets its Analog Setpoint output in accordance with the
specified temperature value without regard to the status of the temperatureSetpoint
member. If temperatureSetpoint indicates selection of the Analog Setpoint, the LTCI
ensures that the Analog Setpoint value is updated prior to selecting it.
58 TCU 40/80 plus Temperature Control Unit
On initial Power-up, prior to receiving a setpoint specification from the host, the LTCI will
command a default setpoint of 25° C.
8. TCU 40/80 plus Start/Stop Control
The LTCI provides the Lam Host Node with the ability to start and stop chiller operation using the
nviControl network variable. This is accomplished through connection to the TCU 40/80 plus
Remote Start/Stop interface.

connection to the status indicator panel at connector P1. Alternatively, TCU 40/80
plus
status
indications could be limited to the Host Fail and Host Warning indications.
The LTCI provides the Lam Host Node with the ability to monitor a variety of TCU 40/80 plus status
conditions. The LTCI monitors TCU 40/80 plus status through connection to the TCU 40/80 plus Status
Indicator Panel connections within the TCU 40/80 plus drawer. In supporting these connections, the
LTCI ensures that it does not present an excessive load to the panel drivers and will not affect the
intensity of the existing LED displays.
The LTCI will poll the following status monitoring signals at the same time that it samples chiller
temperature:
1. Host Fail Signal
2. High Reservoir Temperature
3. Local Mode
4. Low Reservoir Level Warning
5. Low Reservoir Level Fail
6. Low Fluid Flow Fail
Each of these conditions, except for Local Mode, will be mapped to a bit in the error_codes
member of the nvoStatus network variable. In accordance with the protocols specified in [1] and
[2], nvoStatus is sent to the Lam Host node upon receipt of an update to the nviHeartbeat
network variable containing the LTCI node address or whenever there is a change in TCU 40/80 plus
status.
If the Lam host issues a TCU 40/80 plus control command (START/STOP, Temperature Setpoint, or
Temperature Alarm Setpoint) while the TCU 40/80 plus is in Local Mode, the LTCI will set the Local
Mode bit within error_codes and send nvoStatus to the host.
10.1.4 Interfaces
1. LonWorks Interface
a. Physical Network Interface
The LonWorks network interface is provided on the LTCI CM utilizing a standard,
transformer-coupled 1.25Mbps twisted-pair transceiver sold by Echelon Corporation (PN
50020-10). The transceiver supports connection to other approved 1.25Mbps transceivers,
using standard signaling levels and power-down protection mechanisms. The LTCI will
connect the output of the CM transceiver directly to the network interface. The transceiver
output is transformer-coupled interface to the network, thus providing electrical isolation.
The LTCI will provide the ability to select one of three types of LonWorks network
termination circuits through jumpers: (1) Twisted Pair bus termination, (2) FTT Bus
Termination, and (3) FTT Free Topology Termination. Selection of a Termination Circuit
is not required.
TCU 40/80 Temperature Control Unit 59
b. Interface Protocol
The LTCI LONW
ORKS
interface communicates with the Lam Host node through the
exchange of messages using LonWorks Network Variables (NVs). Each NV contains one
or more parameters, is defined using a C syntax to include any valid C data type (i.e., ints,
structures, enums, etc.), and is declared as either an input or output. In order to transmit a
message to the host, the LTCI will update an associated output NV, causing the embedded
LonTalk protocol stack to generate a message by adding appropriate addressing and
message delivery information. The addressing will specify delivery to a corresponding
input NV at the Lam Host node. Upon receipt of the message, the protocol stack at the
host node will unpack the message to produce an update to the selected input NV.
Communication from the Lam Host to the LTCI is handled identical.
The LTCI provides a set of network variables to meet the basic network interface
requirements specified by Lam in [1] and to support specific TCU 40/80 plus control and
monitoring functions described previously. Host control of TCU 40/80 plus operation is
performed by writing to Host output network variables that are mapped to associated LTCI
input network variables. Upon detection of a network variable update, the LTCI firmware
translates the input network variables into corresponding TCU 40/80 plus commands.
TCU 40/80 plus status is continuously monitored by the LTCI and is provided to the
LonWorks interface by updating the values of appropriate output network variables in
accordance with the protocol described by Lam in [1].
Table 18 defines the set of network variables implemented by the LTCI. Input network
variables are sent from the host node to the LTCI and are named with an “nvi” prefix.
Input network variables having their contents to be saved in nonvolatile EEPROM are
named with an “nci” prefix. Output network variables are sent from the LTCI to the host
node and are named with an “nvo” prefix. The LTCI firmware declares the network
variables in the same sequence as shown in Table 18 and will use the self installation
procedures described in [1] to assign the associated network variable selectors as
indicated.

c. Network Variables
This section describes the network variables provided by the LTCI. It should be
remembered that the input/output sense of these NVs is defined in reference to the LTCI
node.
nviHeartbeat
This input NV contains a Lam network node address and is broadcast periodically by the
Lam host node to the entire subnet to determine the status of the network nodes. Upon
receipt of the nviHeartbeat message, the LTCI will reset its local heartbeat timer and
compare the supplied node address to its own node address. The LTCI node address is
determined by reading the state of a 6-bit DIP switch contained on the LTCI module
during power-up reset. If the addresses match, the LTCI will transmit the nvoStatus
NV to the host.
TCU 40/80 Temperature Control Unit 61
nvoStatus
The nvoStatus NV contains the status information shown in Table 18. It is sent to the
Lam Host node in response to receipt of a nviHeartbeat message containing the LTCI
address and in response to a NEURON chip watchdog time-out.
Table18 - Definition of nvoStatus Network Variable
Status Parameter Meaning Notes
Reset Cause A 4-bit indication of the cause of the last LTCI reset:
If reset is due to a watchdog timeout, the LTCI will forward the

Bit 7: TCU 40/80 plus System Status (Summary Fault)
nviConfig
The nviConfig NV contains three parameters:
1. The minimum period between LTCI temperature updates (in milliseconds)
The LTCI transmits TCU 40/80 plus temperature updates to the host whenever the
temperature changes by an amount greater than the update deadband, but will not
transmit at a rate faster than that specified by the minimum update period.
2. The Heartbeat time-out period (in seconds)
The LTCI will immediately reset the heartbeat timer to the value specified. If the timer
expires before the next heartbeat message is received, then the LTCI will declare a
heartbeat fault.
3. The output condition force flag
If the output condition force flag is set, the LTCI will set the analog and discrete output
signals to default conditions.
62 TCU 40/80 plus Temperature Control Unit
nviCommReset
The LTCI will verify the successful transmission of each message from itself to the Lam
Host as specified in [1]. Upon detection of a communication failure the LTCI will enter the
COMM FAIL state and remain there until it receives an nviCommReset message having
a value of “1”. Upon receiving such a message, the LTCI will exit the COMM FAIL state
and enter the NORMAL state. If the LTCI is in the NORMAL state it will not take any
action upon receipt of a nviCommReset message.
nviHWReset
Upon receiving a nviHWReset message having a value of “1”, the LTCI will initiate a
hardware reset of the TCU 40/80 plus by pulsing the reset relay.
nvoNodeInfo
The nvoNodeInfo NV contains the LTCI node type specification and current LTCI
firmware revision and is used by the Lam host to identify the individual nodes within the
300 mm system. The LTCI will report the node type as 245 and will report the software
revision using the format X.YZ where X is the major version number and YZ are minor
version numbers.
nciNetConfig
The nciNetConfig NV specifies whether the LTCI will perform self-installation
functions. nciNetConfig is an enumerated Standard Network Variable Type (SNVT)
and may have values of CFG_LOCAL (“0”), CFG_EXTERNAL (“1”), or CFG_NUL
(“FF”). When reset, the LTCI firmware will read the value of the nciNetConfig NV. If the
value is CFG_LOCAL, the LTCI will perform the self installation procedures specified in
[1] to assign its own domain, subnet, and node address parameters and set up the address
table used to communicate with the Lam Host node. If the value is not CFG_LOCAL, the
LTCI will not perform any self-installation processing.
nvoData
1. The nvoData NV indicates the most recent TCU 40/80 plus temperature measurement
and the measurement source (local or remote). Temperature will be specified in degrees C
above -273°C with a resolution of 0.1°C in accordance with the NEURON C SNVT_temp
network variable type definition. The measurement source will have a value of either “0” or
“1”. A “0” will indicate a local measurement and a “1” will indicate a remote measurement.
The nvoData NV will be sent whenever the measured temperature has changed by greater
than the specified temperature deadband.
For Condition 1, the LTCI will ensure that temperature updates are not transmitted with a
period of less than that specified in the nviConfig NV. For both conditions, the LTCI
will adjust the deadband to coincide with the most recently transmitted temperature.
nviConfig - Specifies the LTCI/Chiller operating configuration
The nviConfig NV is used by the Lam Host node to specify LTCI and TCU 40/80 plus
operating parameters. nviConfig specifies the following LTCI and TCU 40/80 plus
operating parameters:
1. LTCI Analog Setpoint Specification
2. High and Low Temperature Alarm Setpoints
nviControl
The nviControl NV is used to start and stop chiller operation. It utilizes the standard
NEURON C enumerated type of SNVT_lev_disc for a two-state device, using ST_OFF
to specify Chiller Stop. Receipt of any of the following specify Chiller Start: ST_LOW,
ST_MED, ST_HIGH, ST_ON. All other values will be ignored.
TCU 40/80 Temperature Control Unit 63
TCU 40/80 plus Interface
LTCI Power Interface
The LTCI will require ±15VDC and +5VDC at CB1 for use as primary power. Power
conditioning circuitry onboard the LTCI will re-regulate this to provide +5VDC and
±12VDC for use by the LTCI circuitry. The LTCI will not separately fuse the input
power.
Analog Output Interface
Using a D/A and appropriate signal conditioning circuitry, the LTCI Analog Output
Interface will be capable of generating output voltages between -10VDC and +10VDC
into a 100KΩ load. The accuracy of the analog output will be 0.2% or better over the
LTCI operating temperature range. The maximum analog update rate will be 10 updates
per second.
Analog Input Interface
The LTCI Analog Input Interface will be capable of measuring analog input signals
between -10VDC and +10VDC to a resolution of 12 bits. It will present a load of no less
than 100KΩ to the analog driver circuit. The LTCI A/D will incorporate appropriate
sample and hold functions to ensure accurate conversion in the presence of changes in
input signal amplitude during conversion. The maximum A/D sampling rate will be 10
samples per second.
Contact Closure Interface
The LTCI will utilize solid-state devices to support all contact closure outputs. The
selected devices will provide a closed contact resistance of less than 30Ω. The LTCI will
be electrically coupled with the TCU 40/80 plus circuitry through its use of the same
24VDC and return that is used to support TCU 40/80 plus circuitry and its transformercoupled isolation from the LonWorks Twisted Pair network. The LTCI contact closure
interfaces will utilize optical isolation circuitry.
0/24VDC Interfaces
The LTCI will detect the state of the TCU 40/80 plus status monitor signals through
direct coupling to the TCU 40/80 plus circuits that are used to drive the status indicating
LEDs. The LTCI detection circuitry will provide input impedance of at least 10KΩ to
avoid any degradation in indicator performance. All of the 0/24VDC status signals are
uniquely mapped to fail-safe conditions. For these signals, absence of a 24VDC-signal
level is an indication of the associated fault.
The TCU 40/80 plus uses relay ladder logic to implement the Reservoir fluid level
warning and failure indicators, precluding the simple detection of the associated fault
conditions. The LTCI will combine the detection of the two Low Reservoir Level signals
to detect the Fail and Warning conditions as follows:
Reservoir Level Warning = A & B
Reservoir Level Fail = !A & B
Reservoir Level Normal = A & !B
where:
A = TCU 40/80 plus P7-16
(TCU 40/80 plus Reservoir Normal Indication)
B = TCU 40/80 plus P7-18
(TCU 40/80 plus Reservoir Fail Indication)

10.2.2 Operation Modes and Contents of Function
The modes include local operation mode and remote operation mode. The Functions available
differ in each mode.
1. Local operation mode
In this mode of operation, the TCU can only be controlled from the front control panel.
System status and Process Temperature maybe monitored by the external host device. In the
case of power shut down, the set point will default to 25°C upon the next system power up.
2. Remote operation mode
In this mode the unit can be operated by a signal generated from the external host device.
“Run” and “Stop” of the unit, temperature set point is only available from the external host
device.
Note: The alarm may only be reset at the front control panel of the TCU.
3. Set point retention during mode switching
If the unit is switched from Local to Remote operation, the temperature set point will be set
by the external host device. If the unit is switched for Remote to Local operation, the
temperature set point will be set by the last value retained in the temperature controller.
4. Available functions in each mode
The functions available in each mode are listed in Table 20

Additional description of the functions and terms used in Table 20
1. Band
The term denotes the range between the upper limit and the lower limit of the
temperatures corresponding to the generation of a “TEMPERATURE OK” message and
signal. It can be set over a range of from + 0.5 °C to + 5.0°C. The setting is done only
on the positive side, the negative side is automatically set.
Example: When the set value of BAND is selected to 1.0°C, the message
“TEMPERATURE OK” and a signal is generated when the process temperature
becomes within a range from –1.0°C to +1.0°C of setting temperature.
2. Temperature Ok
When the process temperature enters into the BAND range during operation of the unit,
the message “TEMPERATURE OK” appears on the screen of the Control Display Panel
and signal is generated at the same time. If an offset has been set, the temperature range
of “TEMPERATURE OK” (BAND) adopts the offset display temperature.

NOTE: A Personal Computer with appropriate software can be used to simulate a Host. In this
case a Pin1 to Pin 1, 9 Pin male to female cable can connect the TCU to the P.C.
Note: The external host device has priority of communication. Communication begins from the host, and the TCU answers to the host. Therefore, a response from the TCU must be
confirmed after transmitting a signal from the host. If there is no response from the TCU
within 3 seconds, the host will transmit the signal again. No data is accepted during the
period of response from the TCU.

5. Block Check (Frame Check Sequence)
FCS is calculated in accordance with the following steps:
Calculation Procedure
By putting 3 to the head of each value, this translates each byte into its ASCII
Hex code.
Add the target of calculation per byte. This will give a 2-byte answer in Hex,
which will be FCS.
(Follow the following example of calculation.)
STX ETX FCS CR
Target of calculation
The FCS Calculation is the sum of the bytes between, but not including [STX]
to [ETX].
Note: 2BH is the Hex value representing the ASCII code for a + sign.
Then, FCS will be [3EH, 33H], that is, 3 is added to the head of each figure of
[E][3] H, the
First place 1 byte. (If A—F are included in the calculation result, it will be 3A--and 3F and
Different from ASCII Code.) Note: The most significant byte is dropped.
In this case, the transmission data will be:
