Instruction Manual

SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS MODULE (6-SC) (OPTIONAL)
When communicating with a TSC unit via the serial port, the data formats
of both units must be identical. A print operation occurs when the user input,
programmed for the print request function is activated, when a “P” command
is sent via the serial communications port, or after the time expires for the
automatic print rate,if enabled. Serial communication is covered in detail in
the RS-485 SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS SECTION.
Baud Rate (bAUd)
The available baud rates are:
300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600
Parity Bit (PArb)
Parity can be odd, even, or no parity.
Address Number (Addr)
Multiple units connected on the same RS-485 interface line must each have
a different address number. A value of 0 does not require the address specifier
command, when communicating with the TSC. The address numbers range
from 0 to 99.
Abbreviated or Full Transmission (Abrv)
When transmitting data, the TSC can be programmed to suppress the
address number, mnemonics, units, and some spaces by selecting YES. An
example of abbreviated and full transmission are shown below:
NO - 6 SET 123.8F<CR> <LF> Full Transmission
YES - 123.8<CR> <LF> Abbreviated Transmission
Print Rate (PrAt)
The TSC can be programmed to automatically transmit the selected print
options at the programmed print rate. Selecting 0 disables the automatic print
rate feature.
PrAt - 0 to 9999 seconds
Print Options (PoPt)
Selecting YES for the print options will allow the operator to scroll through
the available options using the PAR button. The up and down arrow keys
toggle between “yes” and “no” with “yes” enabling the option to be printed
when a print function occurs.
