Instruction manual

Port Initialization

A Port Initialization prepares the BIC-II to communicate with a Milltronics product. Write a Port Initialization

message for each BIC-II product port used, before attempting to Read/Write product data.

The product port will remain initialized indefinitely, however it is recommended, the Port Initialization registers

be read and verified following: power up, power resumption, or erroneous data.

If the product (or product baud rate) is changed, write a new Port Initialization. If a product is disconnected,

write a Port Initialization using Product code 00, to disable the Port.

BIC-II Port 1 is default initialized for AiRanger XPL communications.

Port Initialization register (47001 to 47006) bit map, (last register digit = product port number):

bits 15 to 8 contain the Product code: 00 = none (off)

03 = AiRanger IV (AIR4)

04 = AiRanger DPL (DPL)

05 = LiquidRanger (LIQUID)

06 = AiRanger XPL (XPL)

08 = CompuScale or CompuFlo series integrator (COMPUX)

09 = AiRanger XPL Plus

0A = Airanger DPL PLus

bits 7 to 4 contain the TX code: 1 to F (number of transmits per message)

bits 3 to 0 contain the Baud code: 4 = 300

6 = 1200

7 = 2400

A = 4800 Refer to the product instruction

C = 9600 manual for applicable value(s)

E =19200

example: Write a message with Address Field 01 and Data Field 0327 to register 47002

(Port 2 initialization).

Address = 01 (BIC-II I.D. # 1)

Product = 03 (AIR4)

TX = 2 (Transmit all sends to AIR4/LIQUID twice)

Baud = 7 (2400)

recommended action:Read BIC-II # 1 register 47002 to verify the Port Initialization.
