Communication Protocol：

I、Format：
Adopt general TTL bus, all of the control board is connected to a TTL bus;
Communication is universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter (UART),baud rate 9600, 8
data bits, 1 stop bit, even parity;
A complete message contains an address byte, a command byte, N data bytes and two
check bytes, format is as following:
start address command data check over
4T 1 byte 1 byte N 2 byte 4T
bytes

A、start/end：
send each message frame need more than 3.5 character time (recommended more than
5 characters time) pause interval begins; such as baud rate of 9600, which a character time T
1/9600 * 10 = 1.04ms, therefore when the system detects that the current byte of the byte
interval is greater than about 3.5 T at 3.5ms, automatically the byte as a message frame's
start ( proposed sends two messages frame interval above 5ms );

4
 Sensors︱Detectors︱Analyzers︱ Excellent Supplier of Digital Acquisition

When receiving the first byte (address), each device decodes to determine whether
destined for their own. After the last transmitted character, the same at least more than 3.5
character times ( recommend more than 5 character times ) pause interval to indicate the end
of a frame message. A new message can begin after this pause.

The entire message frame must be continuously sent. If there is more than 3.5 character
times pause time before finish frame two bytes, the receiving device flushes the incomplete
message and assumes that the next byte is the address field of a new message
(recommended frames sent between two bytes before the completion of the message in the
same frame two bytes within the interval should be controlled within 1.5 character times).
Likewise, if a new message in front of less than then began receiving device will consider it a
continuation of the previous message in the 3.5 character times. This will result in a
communication error, because the value is definitely wrong when check.

B、Address：
Slave address, a byte, range :1-247 (0xF7). Host will be contacted via the address from
the machine into the address field of the message to the slave strobe. When slave sending
response messages, it put his address in response to the address field in order to let master
know which one device to respond. Address 0 is used as a broadcast address, so that all can
be received from the device.

C、Command：
That command is function code, a byte, range is 1-225. When the message is sent from the
host to the slave, the function code will let salve to know what specific tasks it need to perform.

For a different command, the slave will make different responses; If done correctly, the
nature of the query command, the machine will return a message with the specified information;
If a communication error, the slave will return a code equivalent to the original code , and sets
the most significant bit to "1".

D、Data：
Data range including what you need slave to perform the action or the returned message by
the slave adopted. This information can be a value, the reference address etc. If data range is
multi-byte, then the high byte is first, low byte is later. For different slave, address and data
information are not the same.
Both the concentration value and the ADC value of our company are signed numbers.
Signed numbers use the highest bit to represent the sign (1 for negative, 0 for positive). If it is
5
 Sensors︱Detectors︱Analyzers︱ Excellent Supplier of Digital Acquisition

negative, the remaining bits are used to represent the size of the value. For unsigned numbers,
all bits are used to represent the size of the number.
Example: If a signed number is known to be 0xFFFFFFF9, the original code is –7. Because
the sign bit is "1", indicating that it is a negative number, the bit remains unchanged and remains
"1". The remaining bits, 0x7FFFFFF9, are inverted to be 6; add 1, so it is 7.
0xFFFFFFFF means – 1
0xFFFFFFF9 means – 7
0xFFFFBED9 means – 16679
0x000000F9 means 249
0x0000BED9 means 48857

E、Check：
Master or slave can use check code to discriminate whether the receiving information is
wrong; check method is the 16-bit cyclic redundancy code (CRC16), check object includes all
bytes of the message frame (except for the two checksum byte itself) ;

CRC16 contains two-byte, low byte first, high byte later. CRC16 code calculated by the
sending device, placed in the tail of the sent information. The Equipment to receive information
and then recalculate the information received CRC16 code, comparing the calculated CRC16
code whether matches the received, if they do not match, then the error.

C language example which calculated by CRC16 code is as following：

6
 Sensors︱Detectors︱Analyzers︱ Excellent Supplier of Digital Acquisition

//CRC16 code directly calculation method

//*pSendBuf first byte:finger
//nEnd: data check length
unsigned int GetCheck(unsigned char *pSendBuf,unsigned char nEnd)
{
unsigned char i,j;
unsigned int wCrc = (unsigned int)(0xffff);
for(i = 0;i<nEnd;i++)
{
wCrc ^= (unsigned int)(pSendBuf[i]);
for(j = 0;j<8;j++)
{
if(wCrc&0x01)
{
wCrc >>=1;
wCrc ^= 0xA001;
}
else wCrc >>=1;
}
}
return wCrc;
}
