Chapter 1 Using Dedicated Commands (General)

1.1 Operations over an Ethernet Network

You can control the GX/GP by sending commands from a PC over an Ethernet network. There are various types of commands: setting commands, output commands, operation commands, communication control commands, and instrument information output commands.

1.1.1 Preparing the Instrument

GX/GP Configuration

Configure the GX/GP to connect to the Ethernet network that you want to use. For instructions on how to configure the GX/GP, see section 1.16, “Configuring the Ethernet Communication Function“ in the Models GX10/GX20/GP10/GP20 Paperless Recorder User’s Manual (IM 04L51B01-01EN).

The PC that you will use must meet the following requirements.

• The PC is connected to the Ethernet network that you want to use.

• The PC can run programs that you have created (see section 1.1.2, “Sending Commands and Receiving Responses,” below).

1.1.2 Sending Commands and Receiving Responses

Programs

When you send a command to the GX/GP, it will return a response. You can control the GX/GP by writing a program that sends commands and processes responses and then executing the program. You need to create the programs. Example: If you send the commands “FSnap,GET” from your PC to the GX/GP, the GX/GP will return the snapshot data of its screen. For details on commands and responses, see chapter 2, “Commands and Responses.”

Using Dedicated Commands (General)

Notes on Creating Programs

• When Not Using the Login Function

You can start using commands immediately after communication is established with the

GX/GP.

• When Using the Login Function

that is registered in the GX/GP. Log in by connecting to the GX/GP and then sending the “CLogin” command.

IM 04L51B01-17EN

1-1

1.2 Operations over the Serial Interface

You can control the GX/GP by sending commands from a PC through the serial interface. There are various types of commands: setting commands, output commands, operation commands, communication control commands, and instrument information output commands. Except for a few special commands, the commands are the same as those used over an Ethernet network.

1.2.1 Preparing the Instrument

Connection

See section 1.2.3, “RS-232 Connection Procedure,” or section 1.2.4, “RS-422/485 Connection Procedure.”

GX/GP Configuration

Configure the GX/GP to use serial communication. For instructions on how to configure the GX/GP, see section 1.17, “Configuring the Serial Communication Function (/C2 and /C3 options)“ in the Models GX10/GX20/GP10/GP20 Paperless Recorder User’s Manual (IM 04L51B01-01EN).

The PC that you will use must meet the following requirements.

• The PC is connected to the GX/GP through the serial interface.

• The PC can run programs that you have created (see section 1.2.2, “Sending Commands and Receiving Responses,” below).

1.2.2 Sending Commands and Receiving Responses

Programs

Notes on Creating Programs

• For RS-232

When you connect a PC to the GX/GP through the serial interface, the GX/GP will be

ready to receive commands.

• For RS-422/485

The device that receives an open command (ESC O) from a PC will be ready to receive

commands. The connection will close in the following situations.

• When the GX/GP receives a connection-close command (ESC C).

• When another device is opened. Example: If you open the device at address 1 and then open the device at address 2,

the connection with the device at address 1 will be closed automatically.

1.2 Operations over the Serial Interface

Handshaking

When using the RS-232 interface for transferring data, it is necessary for equipment on both sides to agree on a set of rules to ensure the proper transfer of data. The set of rules is called handshaking. Because there are various handshaking methods that can be used between the GX/GP and the PC, you must make sure that the same method is chosen by both the GX/GP and the PC. You can choose any of the four methods on the GX/GP in the table below.

Handshaking

OFF-OFF Yes Yes XON-XON XON-RS CS-RS Yes Supported. 1 Stops transmission when X-OFF is received. Resume when X-ON is received. 2 Stops sending when CS (CTS) is false. Resumes when it is true. 3 Sends X-OFF when the receive data buffer is 3/4 full. Sends X-ON when the receive data buffer

is 1/4th full.

4 Sets RS (RTS) to False when the receive data buffer is 3/4 full. Sets RS (RTS) to True when the

receive data buffer becomes 1/4 full.

• OFF-OFF

Data transmission control

There is no handshaking between the GX/GP and the PC. The “X-OFF” and “X-ON”

signals received from the PC are treated as data, and the CS signal is ignored.

Data reception control

There is no handshaking between the GX/GP and the PC. When the received buffer

becomes full, all of the data that overflows are discarded.

RS = True (fixed).

• XON-XON

Data transmission control

Software handshaking is performed between the GX/GP and the PC. When an “X-OFF”

code is received while sending data to the PC, the GX/GP stops the data transmission. When the GX/GP receives the next “X-ON” code, the GX/GP resumes the data transmission. The CS signal received from the PC is ignored.

Data reception control

Software handshaking is performed between the GX/GP and the PC. When the amount

of area of the received buffer used reaches to 192 bytes, the GX/GP sends an “X-OFF” code. When the amount of area decreases to 64 bytes, the GX/GP sends an “X-ON” code.

RS = True (fixed).

• XON-RS

Data transmission control

The operation is the same as with XON-XON.

Data reception control

Hardware handshaking is performed between the GX/GP and the PC. When the amount

of area of the received buffer used reaches to 192 bytes, the GX/GP sets “RS=False.” When the amount of area decreases to 64 bytes, the GX/GP sets “RS=True.”

1.2 Operations over the Serial Interface

• CS-RS

Data transmission control

Hardware handshaking is performed between the GX/GP and the PC. When the

CS signal becomes False while sending data to the PC, the GX/GP stops the data transmission. When the CS signal becomes True, the GX/GP resumes the data transmission. The “X-OFF” and “X-ON” signals are treated as data.

Using Dedicated Commands (General)

Data reception control

The operation is the same as with XON-RS.

Note

• The PC program must be designed so that the received buffers of both the GX/GP and the PC do not become full.

• If you select XON-XON, send the data in ASCII format.

Note

• The method used to eliminate noise varies depending on the situation. In the connection example, the shield of the cable is connected only to the GX/GP’s ground (one-sided grounding). This is effective when there is a difference in the electric potential between the computer’s ground and the GX/GP’s ground. This may be the case for long distance communications. If there is no difference in the electric potential between the computer’s ground and the GX/GP’s ground, the method of connecting the shield also to the computer’s ground may be effective (two-sided grounding). In addition, in some cases, using two-sided grounding with a capacitor connected in series on one side is effective. Consider these possibilities to eliminate noise.

• When using the two-wire interface (Modbus protocol), the 485 driver must be set to high impedance within 3.5 characters after the last data byte is sent by the host computer.

1.2 Operations over the Serial Interface

Serial interface converter

The recommended converter is given below. SYSMEX RA CO.,LTD./MODEL RC-770X, LINE EYE/SI-30FA, YOKOGAWA/ML2

Some converters not recommended by Yokogawa have FG and SG pins that are not isolated. In this case, do not follow the diagram on the previous page (do not connect anything to the FG and SG pins). Especially in the case of long distance communications, the potential difference that appears may damage the GX/GP or cause communication errors. For converters that do not have the SG pin, they can be used without using the signal ground. For details, see the manual that comes with the converter.

On some non-recommended converters, the signal polarity may be reversed (A/B or +/indication). In this case, reverse the connection.

For a two-wire system, the host device must control the transmission driver of the converter in order to prevent collisions of transmit and received data. When using the recommended converter, the driver is controlled using the RS (RTS) signal on the RS-232.

When instruments that support only the RS-422 interface exist in the system

When using the four-wire system, up to 32 GX/GPs can be connected to a single host device. However, this may not be true if instruments that support only the RS-422 interface exist in the system.

When YOKOGAWA’s recorders that support only the RS-422 interface exist in

the system

The maximum number of connection is 16. Some of YOKOGAWA’s conventional recorders (HR2400 and µR, for example) only support the RS-422 driver. In this case, only up to 16 units can be connected.

Note

In the RS-422 standard, 10 is the maximum number of connections that are allowed on one port (for a four-wire system).

Terminator

When using a multidrop connection (including a point-to-point connection), connect a terminator to the GX/GP if the GX/GP is connected to the end of the chain. Do not connect a terminator to a GX/GP in the middle of the chain. In addition, turn ON the terminator on the host device (see the manual of the host device). If a converter is being used, turn ON its terminator. The recommended converter is a type that has a built-in terminator. Select the appropriate terminator (120 Ω), indicated in the figure, according to the characteristic impedance of the line, the installation conditions of the instruments, and so on.

Chapter 2 Commands and Responses

2.1 Command Transmission and GX/GP Responses

2.1.1 General Communication

The GX/GP can work with various applications through the use of commands. The communication that is achieved through commands is referred to as “general communication.”

2.1.2 Command Types and Functions

The following types of commands are available. The first character of command names represents the command type. For example, in the command “SRangeAI,” “S” represents the command type. The second and subsequent characters represent the contents of commands.

Type Description

Operation commands Example:

Setting commands Example: SRangeAI

Output commands Example:

Communication Control commands Example: CCheckSum

Instrument information output commands

Example: _MFG

OSetTime

FData

2.1.3 Command Syntax A Single Command

A single command consists of a command name, parameters, delimiters, and terminator. The command name is written in the beginning, and parameters follow. Delimiters are used to separate the command name from parameters and between each parameter. A delimiter is a symbol that indicates a separation. A terminator is attached to the end of a command.

Commands and Responses

Commands that start with “O.” These commands are used to operate the GX/GP.

Commands that start with “S.” These commands change the GX/GP settings.

Commands that start with “F.” These commands cause the GX/GP to output measured data and other types of data.

Commands that start with “C.” These commands control the communication with the GX/GP.

Commands that start with an underscore. These commands cause the GX/GP to output its instrument information.

Example of a Command

SRangeAI,0001,VOLT,2V,OFF,-15000,18000,0

Commands in a Series (Setting commands only)

You can send multiple setting commands in a series. When writing a series of commands, separate each command with a sub delimiter. A sub delimiter is a symbol that indicates a separation. A terminator is attached to the end of the series. The maximum number of bytes that can be sent at once is 8000 bytes (8000 characters).

Notes on Writing Commands in a Series

• Only setting commands can be written in a series.

• Queries (see the next section) cannot be written in a series.

• If there is an error in one of the commands in a series, the commands before it are canceled, and those after it are not executed.

Example of a Command

SRangeAI,0001,VOLT,2V,OFF,-15000,18000,0;SRangeAI,0002,SKIP

Queries

Queries are used to inquire the GX/GP settings. To send a query, append a question mark to the command name or parameter. When the GX/GP receives a query, it returns the relevant setting as a character string in an appropriate syntax. Queries can be used on some of the available setting and operation commands.

Parameters

2.1 Command Transmission and GX20 Responses

Parameters are characteristic values that are attached to commands.

Notes on Writing Parameters

• Write parameters in their appropriate order.

• Spaces around and in the middle of parameters are ignored. Exception is the character strings that users specify.

• You can omit the setting command parameters that do not need to be changed from their current settings. If you omit parameters, write only the delimiters.

Example: SRangeAI,0001,,,,,1800,0 terminator

• If parameters are omitted and there are multiple delimiters at the end of the command, those delimiters can be omitted.

Example: SRangeAI,0001,VOLT,2V,,,,terminator -> SRangeAI,0001,VOLT,

2Vterminator

There are two types of parameters: predefined expressions and user-defined character strings.

How to Write User-Defined Character Strings (Parameters)

• Enclose user-defined character strings in single quotation marks.

Example The command for setting the channel 0001 tag to “SYSTEM1” is shown

below.

STagIO,0001,'SYSTEM1'

• There are two types of user-defined character strings depending on the type of characters that can be used.

Character Strings Consisting Only of Characters in the ASCII Code Range (0x00 to

0x7f)

In this manual, applicable parameters are indicated with “ASCII.” Example p3 Tag number (up to 16 characters, ASCII)

Commands and Responses

Delimiters

Sub delimiters

Terminators

You can use alphanumeric characters and some of the symbols. For the ASCII characters

that you can use, see appendix 1.

Character Strings Consisting of Characters in the UTF-8 Code Range

In this manual, applicable parameters are indicated with “UTF-8.” Example p2 Tag (up to 32 characters, UTF-8)

UTF-8 codes include ASCII codes. You can use UTF-8 characters, including the ASCII

characters above. For the ASCII characters that you can use, see appendix 1.

Commas are used as delimiters.

Semicolons are used as sub delimiters.

“CR+LF” is used as a terminator, meaning “CR” followed by “LF.” Expressed in ASCII code, it is 0x0d0x0a.

2.1 Command Transmission and GX20 Responses

2.1.4 GX/GP Responses

The GX/GP returns the following responses to commands.

• If the GX/GP successfully completes the processing of a received output request command, it outputs the requested data.

• If the GX/GP successfully completes the processing of a received command that is not an output request command, it outputs an affirmative response.

• If a command syntax error, setting error, or other error occurs, the GX/GP outputs a negative response.

For each command the GX/GP receives, it returns a single response. The controller (PC) side must process commands and responses in accordance with this command-response rule. If the command-response rule is not followed, the operation of the GX/GP is not guaranteed. For details on the response syntax, see 2.9 Responses to Commands.

2.2.6 Conditions for Executing Commands

A command can be executed only when the GX/GP can execute the setting change or operation that the command specifies. Commands are invalid in the following circumstances.

• The GX/GP is not in a condition to accept the

operation.

For example, if the GX/GP is not recording, you cannot

write a message.

• If the GX/GP does not have the function or is not using

the function.

The “Setup Item” column in section 2.2.1, “Setting

Commands” contains the GX/GP suffix codes that are required for using the commands.

• Operation lock or user restriction is placed on the

operation.

The following table lists the commands that are invalid

according to the limitation types (p1 of the SOpeLimit command or p2 of the SUserLimit command).

2.3 Parameters

This section describes parameters.

2.3.1 Measuring Range Parameters

AI Channel Span

Specify the span using an integer. Example If the range is -2.0000 V to 2.0000 V and you want to set the span lower limit to 0.5000 V and the span upper limit to 1.8000 V, set the parameters to 5000 and 18000, respectively.

SRangeAI,0001,VOLT,2V,FF,5000,18000,0

Scaling

Scaling is possible on AI and DI channels. Scaling is specified by a mantissa and decimal place. Example To set the scaling to -10.00 to 20.00, set the scaling lower limit to -1000, scaling upper limit to 2000, and the decimal place to 2. The decimal place value represents the number of digits to the right of the decimal point.

Math Channel and Communication Channel Span

Set the span of math channels and communication channels using a mantissa and decimal place. Example To set the span to 1.000 to 2.000, set the scaling lower limit to 1000, scaling upper limit to 2000, and the decimal place to 3.

2.3.2 Parameter Notation and Range

The table below shows the principle parameter notations and ranges of values.

Type Notation and Range of Values

AI channel DI channel DO channel

Math channel GX20/GP20: 001 to 100

Communication channel

Number of channels for recording display data Number of channels for recording event data

Specify as “unit number+module number+channel.” Example The AI channel whose unit number is 0, module number is 1, and channel number is 02 is 0102.

GX10/GP10: 001 to 050 For SGroup and SMailAlarm

commands, insert “A” in front. Example A001 GX20/GP20: 001 to 300 GX10/GP10: 001 to 050 For SGroup and SMailAlarm commands, insert “C” in front. Example C001 GX20/GP20: 001 to 500 GX10/GP10: 001 to 100

GX20/GP20: 001 to 500 GX10/GP10: 001 to 100

Type Notation and Range of Values

Number of report channels Number of display groups Number of channels that can be registered to display groups Modbus command number

GX20/GP20: 1 to 60 GX10/GP10: 1 to 50 GX20/GP20: 1 to 50 GX10/GP10: 1 to 30 GX20/GP20: 20 GX10/GP10: 10

GX20/GP20: 1 to 100 GX10/GP10: 1 to 50

2.3.3 Specifying a Range

When specifying consecutive channel numbers or group numbers in a setting command, you can specify them using a range instead of specifying each number one by one.

• Use a hyphen to separate the first number and the last

number. For I/O channels, you can specify a range that spans over multiple slots that modules are installed in.

• You can specify the minimum number by omitting the

number before the hyphen and the maximum number by omitting the number after the hyphen. If you want to specify all numbers from the first number to the last number, specify only the hyphen.

Example 1

To specify 3 to 10: “3-10” To specify 3 to the maximum number: “3-” To specify the first number to 10: “-10” To specify all numbers: “-”

Example 2

A command that sets the channel ranges of AI modules installed in slots 0 to 2 to Skip.

SRangeAI,0001-0210,Skip or SRangeAI,-0210,Skip

If a different module is installed in slot 1, queries will work, but setting commands will result in error.

2.9 Responses to Commands

This section explains the responses that GX/GP returns in response to commands. There are three types of responses: affirmative response, negative response, and data output response.

2.9.1 Affirmative Response (For commands other than output request commands)

If the GX/GP successfully completes the processing of a received command that is not an output request command, it returns an affirmative response.

Syntax

E0CRLF

“CRLF” is the terminator that the GX/GP uses. “CRLF” will be used in the explanation of the syntax. In the response examples, “CRLF” will be omitted.

2.9.2 Negative Response

If a command syntax error, setting error, or other error occurs, the GX/GP returns a negative response.

Syntax

E1,p,p,•••,pCRLF

Commands and Responses

Error number and the position of error occurrence The detailed format of p is indicated below. The GX/GP outputs the error number, the position of the command where the error occurred, and the position of the parameter where the error occurred, each separated by a colon.

en:cp:pp

en cp

Error number. A value indicating the command position where the error occurred. The position is numbered in order with the first command as 1. For a single command, the GX/GP outputs 1. A value indicating the parameter position where the error occurred. The position is numbered in order with the first parameter in each command as 1. For errors that pertain to the entire command (for example, error in the command name), the GX/GP outputs 0. If errors occur in multiple parameters, the GX/GP outputs numbers separated by commas in ascending order.

Response Example 1

If error number 3 occurs in the second parameter of a single command, the GX/GP outputs:

E1,3:1:2

Response Example 2

If error number 1 occurs in the third parameter and error number 100 occurs in the fifth parameter of a single command, the GX/GP outputs:

E1,1:1:3,100:1:5

IM 04L51B01-17EN

2-53

2.9 Responses to Commands

Response Example 3

In a string of two commands, if error number 10 occurs in the second parameter of the first command and error number 500 occurs in the fifth parameter of the second command, the GX/GP outputs:

E1,10:1:2,500:2:5

Error Messages

You can use the “instrument’s error number information output command” (_ERR) to output the error message that corresponds to an error number of a negative response.

2.9.3 Data Output Response

There are two types of data output: ASCII and binary.

ASCII Output

The responses to the following commands are in ASCII.

• Queries for operation commands and setting commands

• ASCII data output requests of output commands

Syntax

EACRLF

ASCII string data • • • • • • • • CRLF ASCII string data • • • • • • • • CRLF

| ASCII string data • • • • • • • • CRLF ENCRLF

The GX/GP adds a header (EA) in front of the ASCII string output data and a footer (EN) at the end. The GX/GP adds the two characters CRLF to the end of headers, footers, and ASCII string data.

2-54

IM 04L51B01-17EN

Binary Output

4 bytes

2.9 Responses to Commands

The responses to output commands consisting of binary data output requests are in binary.

Format

The following figure shows the binary output format. The GX/GP adds a header to the front of binary output data and a checksum at the end. The request data is entered in the data block.

2 bytes

1 byte

'E' 'B' CR LF

Data length

Flag Reserved area 1

Reserved area 2 Header sum

Data block

Commands and Responses

Data sum

EBCRLF

The EBCRLF block stores ASCII code “E,” ASCII code “B,” followed by “CR” “LF.” This indicates that the output data is binary.

Data length (32 bits, big endian)

The data length block indicates the length of “flag + reserved area 1 + reserved area 2 + header sum + data block + data sum” in bytes.

Flag (16 bits, big endian)

The flag block indicates information of the entire data block.

Bit Flag Value Flag Meaning

0 1

15 Always zero Not used 14 No Yes Data sum inclusion 13 Always zero Not used : 1 0 Intermediate

data

Last data If the output data is continuous data, this flag

indicates whether the last value in the data block is intermediate data or last data.

Reserved area 1 (16 bits), reserved area 2 to (16 bits)

Not used

IM 04L51B01-17EN

Header sum (16 bits, big endian)

The header sum block indicates the sum of “data length + flag + reserved area 1 + reserved area 2.”

2-55

2.9 Responses to Commands

Data Block

The actual output data. The format varies depending on the output content. For details, see section 2.11, “Format of the Data Block of Binary Output.”

Data sum (16 bits, big endian)

The data sum block indicates the sum of the data block. Use the CCheckSum command to specify whether to include data sum. By default, check sum is set to “No.” Whether data sum is included is expressed by a flag in the header block. If the data sum block is not included, the area itself will not be included. For the check sum calculation method, see Appendix 5

Check Sum Calculation Method.

2.9.4 Output in Response to RS-422/485 Commands

The table below shows the responses to the ESC O command and ESC C command. ESC in ASCII code is 0x1B. For details, see Appendix 1 ASCII Character Codes.

Syntax Meaning Response

ESC O_xxCRLF

(_: Space)

ESC C_xxCRLF

(_: Space)

* Some possible reasons why the condition “there is no instrument at the address

specified by the command” occurs are command error, the address assigned to the instrument is different, the instrument is not turned on, and the instrument is not connected through serial interface.

Opens an instrument

Closes an instrument

• Response from the destination instrument

ESC OxxCRLF

• If there is no instrument at the address specified by the command

No response

• Response from the destination instrument

ESC CxxCRLF

• If there is no instrument at the address specified by the command

No response

• “xx” in the table represents the instrument address. You can specify any address within the range of 01 to 99 and within the addresses assigned to the communication target instruments.

• You can only open one instrument at any given time.

• When you open an instrument with the ESC O command, you can send commands to it.

• If you open an instrument with the ESC O command, any instrument that is already open will be automatically closed.

• Use CR+LF for the terminator.

2.10 ASCII Output Format

This section explains the ASCII output format.

• In the following format descriptions, the terminator is denoted by “<crlf>.”

• One space (ASCII code : 0x 20) is denoted by an underscore (_). Consecutive spaces are denoted by alternating underscores (_) and overscores (¯).

• An I/O channel is expressed as a four-digit number (e.g., 0102), a math channel is expressed as “A” followed by a three-digit number (e.g., A015), and a communication channel is expressed as “C” followed by a three-digit number (e.g., C120).
