4.9 Enquiry for the contact inputs and outputs on DISBUS
During operation on DISBUS via VEGACOM 557, the contacts are assigned by means of the
VEGAMET address. The enquiry is then made with the VEGAMET address.
Start character: S1 = 1 character "=“
Address: Addr = 1 character VEGACOM 557 address
Start character: S2 = 1 character "#“
Status: Validity of the contact value,
0 = Inputs and outputs valid, 1 = output contacts valid,
2 = Input contacts valid, 3 = value invalid.
End identification: CR LF = Carriage Return + Linefeed
Total length of the telegram: 15 characters
Contact value binary coded
32896 = 10000000 10000000
Identifier: 1 character, "R“
T1: 1 character "L“
End identification: 1 character Chr (13) = CR = Carriage Return
Total length of the telegram: 5 or 8 characters
