PRODUCT DETAILS

COMMUNICATION PROTOCAL

DIMENSIONS

1. Read Data (Function id 0x03)

Inquiry frame (hexadecimal), sending example: Query 1# device 1 data, the host computer sends the command:01 03 00 00 00 02 C4 0B.

Device ID Function ID Start Address Data Length CRC16
01 03 00 00 00 02 C4 0B

For the correct query frame, the device will respond with data:01 03 04 00 7A 00 00 DB EA, the response format is parsed as follows:

Device ID Function ID Data Length Data 1 Data 2 Check Code
01 03 04 00 79 00 7A DB EA

Data Description: The data in the command is hexadecimal. Take data 1 as an example. 00 79 is converted to a decimal value of 121. If the data magnification is 100, the actual value is 121/100=1.21.

2. Data Address Table

40108 00 6B Correction Value Temperature Read/write +0 ~ +1000 or 64535 (-1000) ~ 65535 (-0).
40109 00 6C Correction Value Humidity Read/write +0 ~ +1000 or 64535 (-1000) ~ 65535 (-0)

3. Read & Modify Device Address

If you don’t know the current device address and there is only one device on the bus, you can use the command FA 03 00 64 00 02 90 5F to query the device address.

Device ID Function ID Start Address Data Length CRC16
FA 03 00 64 00 02 90 5F

FA is 250 for the general address. When you don’t know the address, you can use 250 to get the real device address, 00 64 is the device model register.

For the correct query command, the device will respond, for example the response data is: 01 03 02 07 12 3A 79, the format of which is as shown in the following table:

Device ID Function ID Start Address Model Code CRC16
01 03 02 55 3C 00 01 3A 79

Response should be in the data, the first byte 01 indicates that the real address of the current device is, 55 3C converted to decimal 20182 indicates that the current device main model is 21820, the last two bytes 00 01 Indicates that the device has a status quantity.

• Change device address

For example, if the current device address is 1, and you want to change to 02, the command is:01 06 00 66 00 02 E8 14

Device ID Function ID Start Address Destination CRC16
01 06 00 66 00 02 E8 14

After the change is successful, the device will return information: 02 06 00 66 00 02 E8 27, its format is parsed as shown in the following table:

Device ID Function ID Start Address Destination CRC16
01 06 00 66 00 02 E8 27

Response should be in the data, after the modification is successful, the first byte is the new device address. After the general device address is changed, it will take effect immediately. At this time, the user needs to change the query command of the software at the same time.

4. Read and Modify Baud Rate

The device default factory baud rate is 9600. If you need to change it, you can change it according to the following table and the corresponding communication protocol. For example, read the current device’s baud rate ID, the command is:01 03 00 67 00 01 35 D5, its format is parsed as follows.

Device ID Function ID Start Address Data Length CRC16
01 03 00 67 00 01 35 D5

Read the baud rate encoding of the current device. Baud rate encoding: 1 is 2400; 2 is 4800; 3 is 9600;4 is 19200; 5 is 38400; 6 is 115200.

For the correct query command, the device will respond, for example the response data is: 01 03 02 00 03 F8 45, the format of which is as shown in the following table:

Device ID Function ID Data Length Rate ID CRC16
01 03 02 00 03 F8 45

coded according to baud rate, 03 is 9600, ie the current device has a baud rate of 9600.

• Change the baud rate

For example, changing the baud rate from 9600 to 38400, ie changing the code from 3 to 5, the command is: 01 06 00 67 00 05 F8 1601 03 00 66 00 01 64 15

Device ID Function ID Start Address Target Baud Rate CRC16
01 03 00 66 00 01 64 15

Change the baud rate from 9600 to 38400, changing the code from 3 to 5. The new baud rate will take effect immediately, at which point the device will lose its response and the baud rate of the device should be queried accordingly. Modified.

5. Read Correction Value

When there is an error between the data and the reference standard, we can reduce the display error by adjusting the correction value. The correction value starts from register 00 6B. We take the first parameter as an example. The correction value is read and modified in the same way for multiple parameters.

Device ID Function ID Start Address Data Length CRC16
01 03 00 6B 00 01 F5 D6

For the correct query command, the device will respond, for example the response data is: 01 03 02 00 64 B9 AF, the format of which is as shown in the following table:

Device ID Function ID Data Length Data Value CRC16
01 03 02 00 64 B9 AF

In the response data, the first byte 01 indicates the real address of the current device, and 00 6B is the first state quantity correction value register.

6. Change correction value

The correction difference can be modified to be plus or minus 1000, that is, the value range is +0 ~ +1000 or 64535 (-1000) ~ 65535 (-0). For example, when the display value is too small, we can correct it by adding 100. The command is: 01 06 00 6B 00 64 F9 FD . In the command 100 is hex 0x 64 If you need to reduce, you can set a negative value, such as -100, corresponding to the hexadecimal value of FF 9B, which is calculated as 100 – 65535 = 65435 (FF 9B), and then converted to hexadecimal to 0x FF 9B. For example, the current state quantity is too small, we want to add 1 to its true value, and the current value plus 100 (100 = 1.00) correction operation command is:01 06 00 6B 00 64 F9 FD

Device ID Function ID Start Address Destination CRC16
01 06 00 6B 00 64 F9 FD

After the operation is successful, the device will return information: 01 06 00 6B 00 64 F9 FD, the parameters take effect immediately after successful change.
