For Model EC-1500 RS232C Communication Kit Instruction Manual
Introduction to the system Table of Contents Thank you for purchasing the RS232C Communication Kit Ergosiser EC-1500. By connecting the EC-1500 and an external computer to this kit, the following control and data transfers are possible using the directional communication capability of the RS232C interface: ・Controlling and carrying out the EC-1500 internal program from an external computer. ・Retrieving data (pulse rate, wattage, etc.) of the EC-1500 from an external computer.
[1] Preparation 1-1) Checking components in the package ・The package should include the following components. If there is a missing component, notify the fact to the store where you bought this kit.
1-2) Assembling RS232C communication kit 1-2-a) Installing RS board 4 in operation unit ・Remove the 8 screws that are holding the upper body on the rear panel of the operation unit. Open the unit's upper body as shown in the figure below. ・Referring to the figure, place the RS board so that its mounting holes are aligned with mounting holes in the unit and the black optical cable connector is located at the rear end of the unit. Secure the board with the 2 screws supplied.
• Remove the caps (A) & (B) connect the optical cable connector to the operation unit optical cable connector. (Fix both caps (A) & (B) when it’s unused.) * Secure the optical cable on the handlebar post with the cord clip.

Connect the converter to the RS232C port of the computer. 2.
[2] Learning how the system works 2-1) Transmission Format ・Communication speed (baud rate) ・Data bit length ・Stop bit ・Parity check ・XON / XOFF control ・SI/SO control 2400 8 bit 1 bit none none none 2-2) Contents of Data Transmission from the EC-1500 ・The EC-1500 outputs display data in character code, continuously when you set exercise conditions and once per second when you are exercising.
2) During Exercise ・The EC-1500 sends data to an external computer every second.
2-3) Externally Controlling the EC-1500 2-3-a) During Setting Exercise Conditions ・When exercise conditions are being set you can send data in a "character code + numeric code + CR code format (shown in example below) from an external computer, setting your exercise conditions.
y b Restart data output from the EC-1500. Makes the EC-1500 buzzer beep for 1 second. If the EC1500 receives this signal again while the buzzer is still beeping, another beep will immediately be heard for 1 more second. 2-4) Considerations on data transfer 2-4-a) Use of BASIC is convenient to control from external device ・Although the EC-1500 can interpret software of any language, its serial function is basically designed to easily accept BASIC language.
2-4-d) Changing exercise conditions ・To set the age to 30, send the code "A 30 CR", as shown below. TX$ = "A30" PRINT#1,TX$ In the same way, other exercise conditions can be changed. CAUTION: Some computers will express TX$ as "Asp30" when "AGE=30 : TX$="A" (AGE)" is entered. The EC-1500 recognizes this as an error code and will not return the acknowledged signal "a". ・The setting range of torque is 0.5-4.0 kg•m. The value is multiplied by 10, i.e. 5-40 kg, and transmitted via RS232C interface.
2-4-g) Changing exercise conditions ・Sending the code "i CR" ("d CR") while executing training program Auto, Isopower (constant power) or manual will increment (decrement) the pedal during training torque in 0.1 kg•m steps. ・Sending "I" + "set value" while isopower training changes sets the watt value. The effect of the value change can be verified by monitoring the watt value data included in the exercise status data sent from the EC-1500 every second.
[3] Sample program 3-1) Program that verifies connection to the EC-1500 (CHECK) ・The following simple program can check whether the EC-1500 is correctly connected or not. ・When data in the form of "A....." or "B....." appears on the screen of the computer's monitor, the EC-1500 is correctly connected. If not displayed, check the connection of the system. 10 'CHECK 20 '********************************** 30 '* EC-1500 CHECK PROGRAM * Open RS232C port in the form suitable for the 35 '* Copyright by CATEYE CO.
3-2) Program that controls the EC-1500 externally (TEST) ・This program allows to duplicate the buttons on the operation unit from the external computer for operating the EC1500. While the training takes place, it monitors LCD display data and graphs the changes in pulse rate. 10 'TEST 20 '****************************************** 30 '* EC-1500 DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM * 35 '* Copyright by CATEYE CO., LTD.
