Overview of Commands and Responses

Command format
You can send specific commands based on ASCII codes from an external device to DL-RS1A. For information on the parameters used in the command, refer to "Parameters of Commands and Responses" (page 10).
Sample command format structure
(1) With the first two bytes, specify the communication command. (2) Specify the ID number assigned to the target sensor amplifier using two digits (ASCII characters). (3) Specify the data number for the data you want to read from or write to the sensor amplifier using
three digits (ASCII characters).
(4) Insert CR or CR + LF as the command delimiter.
You must use commas (,) to separate (1), (2), and (3).
To read the "Detection mode (data number: 101)" from an expansion unit of an active GT-70A Series (ID number: 06):
From an external device, 11-byte data will be sent to the DL-RS1A.
The last byte of the command you send must be CR (0DH) or LF (0AH). Specifying a value other than CR or LF results in an error response (error number: 00). For information on the error responses, refer to "Error numbers" (page 12).

Parameters of Commands and Responses
*5 The data number “008” can be read to check the error status of the sensor amplifiers.
Convert the five digit number (ASCII characters) read from the sensor amplifiers to a binary number and check the ON/OFF state of each bit to check the error contents.
For information on each error, refer to "FD-S Series User's Manual".
When the data read from a sensor amplifier is "1056": "1056" converted to binary number is "0000 0100 0010 0000".
Therefore, this data indicates that the "temperature low error" and the "reverse current error" have occurred at the same time on the sensor amplifier from which the data was read.
If no error has occurred at the sensor amplifier, the data "0000" is returned.
*6 When the data falls below 0, this indicates "-999.9", and when the data exceeds 99.9, this
indicates "+999.9".

Parameters of Commands and Responses
*1 In the Data format column, "*" signifies a number from "0 to 9". *2 Indicates that the data can only be read from (R), can only be written to (W), or can be both read
from and written to (R/W) the sensor amplifiers.
*3 Since each reset request is a level action, resets are continuously performed as long as the
value is set to 1. Make sure you send a command format that writes 0 to the sensor amplifiers again after receiving a response format.
*4 The command is executed only when the setting of the amplifier is changed from 0 to 1. To
execute the command again, write 0 once and then write 1, or the command is not executed.
*5 Regardless of the display mode specified on the sensor amplifiers, the range of configurable
data is the same as the "rESo" mode.
*6 When setting this value to 000.0, no alarm output is made even if the temperature falls below the
indicated temperature setting lower limit; an alarm output is made only when the temperature exceeds the upper limit.
*7 When setting this value to 100.0, no alarm output is made even if the temperature exceeds the
indicated temperature setting upper limit; an alarm output is made only when the temperature falls below the lower limit.
*8 To read or write this data type, the analog output of the sensor amplifiers must be set to "Free
range analog" (using data number 051). Changing the Free range analog upper limit/lower limit is invalid when the analog output is set to
"Standard". *9 When not performing zero cut (OFF setting), set the data to 0. *10 Set the low density zero cut function to ON (Data No. "058").
When the low density zero cut level is set to OFF, the zero cut level is invalid even if it is set. *11 This item is reflected during initial reset (data number 060).

Communication Response Time

This section describes the communication response time for each communication command and various time frames.

Communication Response Time and Time Chart

This section describes the concept of communication response time and the time chart for the communication commands.
When sending communication commands consec utively from the external device, wait to send the next command after reception of the response for the previous command from DL-RS1A completes.
SR command
The SR command directly reads data from a sensor amplifier during T4 (DL-RS1A command processing time).
Time chart
M0 command and MS command
The M0 and MS commands read the buffered data that DL-RS1A periodically retrieves from the sensor amplifiers. Therefore, the latest data detected by the sensors can only be read after T2 (DL-RS1A data processing time) where DL-RS1A retrieves data from the sensor amplifiers.
