2.1.2.3. CONFIGPPORT message
This command is valid only for E401.
This is the message sent by the controller to change the available inputs/outputs configuration. This
configuration will be saved.
Address: CC E401
Syntax: Command:
CONFIGPPORT
Parameters:
Address list (I: input, O: output, X: not used)
Initial value list (1, 0, X: not used / input)
Example: CONFIGPPORT OIIOOOXXXXXXXXXXXX/0XX000XXXXXXXXXXXX&
In the example we are using 6 out of the 18 available inputs/outputs, 4 of them are configured as
outputs (address “O”) with a low level initial status (value “0”) and the 2 balanced are configured as
inputs (address “I”, value “X”).
For the rest of inputs/outputs remaining unused, the parameters command, address and initial value
are filled in with “X”.
E401 changes the inputs/outputs initial configuration and sends the message ACK_CONFIGPPORT
back.
2.1.2.4. ACK_ CONFIGPPORT message
This command is genereted only by E401.
This is the message that E401 has to send when answering to CONFIGPPORT.
Address: E401 CC
Syntax: Command
ACK_CONFIGPPORT
Parameters: None
2.1.2.5. WRITEPPORT message
This is the message that the controller sends to the controller to write remotely over the output-
configured pins in the case of E401.
Regarding E451, with this command we can write over the relay output contact.
Address: CC E400
Syntax: Command
WRITEPPORT
Parameters: List of the desired value (1, 0, X: not used / input)
Exemple: [E401]: WRITEPPORT 0XX110XXXXXXXXXXXX&
[E451]: WRITEPPORT X1&
The pins configured as inputs must not be affected by this message. Therefore, as parameter we will
use the value “X” for them and for the unused pins.
In the case of E451 the parameter of this command will have only two characters. The first one will
always be “X” since it is an input, and the second one can be either “1” or “0”depending on what we
want to write in the output.
E400 writes in the pins and answers with the message ACK_WRITEPPORT.
