COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
Version 3.9
 MUPROTSW Page 2 of 32
rev. 3.9 of 2021-09-01

Communication protocol
By means of the serial interface RS485/RS232 or USB (as serial port), it’s possible to
send commands to, and get replies from the equipment using a half-duplex communication
protocol.
The setting of the communication port is as follows:

Device address: from 1 to 32 (From specific menu)

Baud-rate : from 4800 to 57600 b/s (From specific menu)
Number of bits: 8
Stop bit: 1
Parity: None

A TCP socket on port 50000 can also be used for the same commands/reply.

Each command and each reply is preceded by a start character (STX) and the address
(IND) of the device with which we want to communicate, followed by a stop character (ETX)
and a checksum character (CKSUM) for the information correctness verification.

STX IND Command or reply ETX CKSUM

STX = Start character: hexadecimal value 0x02

IND = Device address: added to the hexadecimal value 0x80
(ex. Address 1 = character 0x81)
ETX = Stop character: hexadecimal value 0x03
CKSUM = Control checksum: it’s a character obtained by adding all the characters of the
command frame, from STX to ETX included, module 256.

Each command that contains a parameter, gets a reply with the character (ESI) that can
assume the following values:

“0” = Command executed

“1” = Command NOT executed.

MEAS: The requested measures for a channel are reported, separated by “;”.
If ALL the channel are selected, each channel measure group ids divided by LF (0xa)
character.
When requesting all measures for all the channels they will be sent by phase (1st all
measures of the phase “U”, then all of the phase “V” then the phase “W”)
