Note The controller answers to the GET command with the same
data format explained in the SET command.
Following are examples of answers:
1) “03<STX> + 01200<ETX>”
The controller with process ID number 03 says that its
current setpoint is +12.00 mS.
2) “01<STX>UE71022225<ETX>”
The controller with process ID number 01 says that it is a
HI710222 model with firmware release 2.5.
The minum delay between the last received character and
first character of the answer is 15 ms.
When the controller answers to the ECR, TDR and TMR com-

• “B”, control and alarm are ON, and need update con-
troller setup (GET commands);
• “C”, control is ON and alarm is OFF;
• “D”, control is ON and alarm is OFF, and need up-
date controller setup (GET commands);
• “N”, control and alarm are OFF;
• “M”, control and alarm are OFF, and need update
controller setup (GET commands);

meaning that the current temperature reading is 10.7°C, the
control action is active, no alarm condition is present and
controller setup is updated on PC.
“03<STX>10.7D<ETX>”
meaning that the current temperature reading is 10.7°C, the
