16 Jun 1994TL;DR: In this article, a method of communications between a master unit and a slave unit of a supervisory control and data acquisition system is provided, where the communications protocol has at least two bytes of data where the first byte (100) is an address byte containing address information for addressing the slave unit and the second byte (101) is a control byte containing an expansion bit and two address/type variable bits to be interpreted by the slave according to a rule set.
Abstract: A method of communications between a master unit and a slave unit of a supervisory control and data acquisition system is provided. The communications protocol has at least two bytes of data where the first byte (100) is an address byte containing address information for addressing the slave unit and the second byte (101) is a control byte containing an expansion bit and two address/type variable bits to be interpreted by the slave according to a rule set. In the rule set, the meaning of certain control bits (107) is related to the state of an expansion bit (103). The expanion bit defines the presence or absence of a third byte (102).

TL;DR: In this article, a method of communication between a master unit and a slave unit, comprising the steps of: sending at least a command byte from the master unit to the slave unit comprising data byte counter bits to be interpreted by the slave units according to the following rule set, is presented.
Abstract: A method of communication between a master unit and a slave unit, comprising the steps of: sending at least a command byte from the master unit to the slave unit comprising data byte counter bits to be interpreted by the slave unit according to the following rule set; if said data byte counter bits belong to a first set, then said data byte counter bits contain information representing a number of associated data bytes, which is the expected number of data bytes; if said data byte counter bits belong to a second set, then said data byte counter bits contain information representing a number which must be decoded before the expected number of data bytes is obtained; receiving at least the command byte; interpreting the command byte; and receiving the number of data bytes required by the rule set.
