11 ASCII Interface
Requires an additional license.
Unte CM has an Ascii interface which makes it possible to interpret alarm and messages
from different systems, receive messages via serial ports and enable access to external
servers over HTTP. The received data can then be sent to a Unite destination, default the
Event Handler in Unite CM.
Received data can also be monitored in Unite CM, see 11.2 Data Monitor on page 100.
11.1 Syntax for ASCII Code Translation
To enter control characters, the Start/Stop string in the TCP Server parameter can be used.
The Serial Communication parameter is entered with Ascii code - syntax. A decimal number
is written between a backslash and a semicolon, which will then be translated into its
character. For example syntax: \4; (= EOT), \6; (=ACK), \28; (= FS), etc.
An ASCII-table for numbers and characters is found in the, Appendix C: ASCII-table on page
37.
