5.8 Delimited ASCII Driver
RTU Driver : Delimited ASCII Driver V1.0
KeyCode : DAD
The DAD driver is designed to receive an ASCII delimited string. The driver does not send
queries to the end device. The driver is designed to receive data only.
The Driver can be set up to accept all type of delimitation. Commas and spaces are usually
the most common. Also the number of expected values can be entered to filter invalid data.
Driver Configuration (with default values):
RTU
TYpe DAD – Set the RTU driver to the delimited ASCII.
DEbug <off | on>
RXTimeout <10> – The default is 10. This timeout must be set longer than the
interval that the device sends the data.
DELimiter <32> – This number represents the decimal equivalent of an ASCII
character (44=, (comma) and 32= (space))
NVALues <0> – The number of expected values can be entered to filter invalid data.
If the number is not known the it can be left as 0.
COMM
POrt <COM1 | COM2 | COM4> – The RTU driver must use COM2
(RS232) or COM4 (RS485). COM1 is the network port for the TPAC.
