8 Communication Protocol
RS-232 communication between the FC-4001 and the PC is performed using
this protocol (VER-0.1), which uses four bytes of information, and data is at
9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
The controller and the machine should be connected via a null-modem
connection, that is, if using a DB-9 port, connect PIN 5 of the PC to PIN 5 of
the machine, cross PINs 2 and 3, that is, connect PIN 2 of the PC to PIN 3 of
the machine, and connect PIN 3 of the PC to PIN 2 of the machine. On the PC
side, short PINs 4 and 6, and short PINs 1, 7 and 8. This protocol
complements Kramer’s “Protocol 2000” (Kramer’s switcher protocol), that is,
the two protocols can co-exist without disturbing one another (according to
Protocol 2000’s definitions, the FC-4001 would be machine number 24).
