Non-procedual Communication

Command Reference

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the ZS Series. This manual provides reference information on non-procedural communication commands for ZS Series. This manual provides information for the following models and versions.

Model Firmware Version

ZS-LDC v2.000 or later

ZS-HLDC v1.000 or later

ZS-MDC v2.000 or later

ZS-DSU v2.000 or later

Different firmware versions may cause communication errors, unintended setting overwrite, and damages on the controller. Please make sure to use the controller with the correct software version. If your software version is not listed in the table above, please update the software using the SmartMonitorZS firmware update software, such as WarpEngineZS, to match the software version.

When using the ZS Series, be sure to observe the following:

• The ZS Series must be operated by personnel knowledgeable in electrical engineering.

• To ensure correct use, please read this manual thoroughly to deepen your understanding of the product.

• Please keep this manual in a safe place so that it can be referred to whenever necessary.

ZS-Series

Setting the Communication Specifications

Change the settings of the controller communication specifications for non-procedural communication with the external device.

Use USB cable or RS-232C cable to connect ZS Series controllers to external devices. For USB cable

connection, install Smart Monitor ZS and USB driver beforehand. After installing Smart Monitor ZS, USB

ports are recognized as standard COM ports, and communication is achieved as with the RS-232C.

(Setting the communication specifications including baud rate is not necessary.) For details on how to

connect cable, refer to the User's Manual for each controller.

1.Set the mode switch to "FUN".

2.Select [System] - [Communication] - [Mode] menu.

3.Select [non-procedural].

4.For RS-232C cable connection, select [System] - [Communication] - [RS-232C]

menu to set the appropriate communication specifications for the external device.

5.Save the settings.

If you are connecting multiple controllers, set all controllers other than ZS-HLDC to [non-procedural].

Note that the communication with SmartMonitor ZS is not available in [non-procedural] mode. If you

want to communicate with SmartMonitor ZS, reset to [CompoWay/F] communication.

Non-procedural Communication Command Reference

Format

The format of non-procedural commands are as follows:

Example: A command to acquire a measured value MEASURE command

* Each character is output as an ASCII code (except for FLOWDATA response).

MEASURE OCR

Format

Space

Delimiter

The format of returned values changes depending on the command. For the description of each command, refer to "List of Non-procedural Commands" section.

•MEASURE / M / DATAGET

The returned value consists of right aligned 11 characters and a delimiter. The unit is

nm for a displacement value. Shortfalls of the characters are filled with spaces from

the left.

Example: The returned value is -30.719923 mm.

-30719923CR

•BANKGET command

The returned value is output as 1 character bank No.

Example: The bank No. is 2.

1CR

•VERGET command

The returned value is output in the following format:

ZS - LDC 2 . 0 0 0CR

Version

•Other commands

Either OK or ER is returned according to the result of the command. The command

was executed properly:

OKCR

The command was not executed properly or the setting was NG:

ERCR

The delimiter can be selected from the following three types. CR/LF/CR+LF

FLOWDATA Reference

What is FLOWDATA?

The ZS series implements high speed sampling measurement up to 110us. Handling these measurement data with an external device requires reading in a large amount of data. The ZS series are provided with a mechanism which enables to handle and acquire measurement data by a given bundle. This bundle of data is called a FLOWDATA.

■ How to acquire FLOWDATA

FLOWDATA is batch output if the controller has accepted the command for acquiring a FLOWDATA when data is accumulated for the specified buffer size (max. 1000 data). A device receiving data (such as PC) needs to issue the command before the ZS controller accumulates measurement data for the buffer size.

LD ONZEROENABLE

Receive data

Issue command

If the controller has not received the command when measurement data for the buffer size is

accumulated in the controller, the past data is overwritten:

In this case, it raises an error flag for buffer overflow. A device receiving data (such as PC) needs

to check this flag to see if the commands have been issued in time.

Format

After outputting the command for acquiring FLOWDATA, the binary data is output in the following format:

Header division (4bytes) Data division (4bytes)

Configuration of FLOWDATA p.34

Binary data is used for response data of FLOWDATA to give the highest priority to the speed. Therefore,

general purpose communication tools such as HyperTerminal may not be used to receive the data.

■ Buffer size and buffer intervals

The buffer size of measurement data to be accumulated in the ZS controller and its buffer intervals can be changed. Change the following parameters:

* DATAGET and DATASET commands are used to change and refer to the parameters.

Capturing Image Data

For ZS-DSU (Ver 2.000 or later), image data logging from ZFV is available. Image data on the memory card can be shown as image files (.bmp) by inserting the memory card into the memory slot on the personal computer. Image data can also be imported from the memory card inserted into the ZS-DSU by entering the command below.

Command name Format

CFIMGGET CFIMGGET <Group No.> <Logging No.> <delimiter>

* Group No. is the logging group number that is assigned for each logging trigger.

* Logging No. is the serial number (logging number) that is assigned during one logging process.

* Receiving of the image data is performed through the XMODEM communication. (Refer to the next topic.)

* For you reference: Folder tree in the memory card

Example:

To read image data with (*) mark, enter the following command.

CFIMGGET 001 002<delimiter>

001 is Group No.

002 is Logging No.

* Numbers must be entered in the 3-digit format.

* Specifying OK/NG folders is not necessary.

Measurement result for the logged image data can also be obtained. Measurement result is stored in the log

file in the same group folder. To get the measurement result to the personal computer, enter the following

command.

Capturing Image Data

●Flow of XMODEM communication

When you capture image data by entering this command, image data are obtained through XMODEM communication. Communication flow is as follows:

Host device (personal computer)

Switch XMODEM

Request to receiving

* 1 packet = 128 bytes

(Check by CRC)

Data are successfully received.

* Returns "NAK" if receiving error

has been occurred.

Data are successfully received.

CFIMGGET command

"READY" reply

NAK (a)

128-byte data (BK No. 1)

ACK

128-byte data (BK No. 2)

ACK

128-byte data (BK No. *)

ACK

EOT

ZS-DSU

Switch XMODEM

Start the reply to the request (Send BK No. 1) * No reply when "C" is sending.

(Send BK No. 2)

(Send BK No. *)

All data has been completely sent

XMODEM abort ACK

Completed.
