INTRODUCTION
The RS232C output option consists of an additional card
(reference RS2) that is installed in the M1 plug - in connector of
the instrument s main board (ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA- M,
KAPPA - M).
The card incorporates one 4 wires telephon e socket
protruding out of the rear of the instrument.
The serial output permits to construct a communications line
through which a master device can request to the KOSMOS
instrument the transmission of data such as display value,
setpoints values, peak, v alley and tare (or offset in case of
thermometers) and to perform operations such as tare of
display, reset of the peak, valley, or tare memories and
update setpoint values.
The Beta - M model provides also a special command that
allows to copy the programm ing data from one meter to other
of the same type.
Fully software programmable, the option permits selection of
the transmission rate (1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 or 19200
Baud), instrument s address (between 00 and 99) and
communication protocol type (ASCII,
standard ISO 1745 and
MODBUS RTU).
1. RS232C OUTPUT OPTION
The RS232C option allows one KOSMOS instrument be
connected to a master device with RS232C output.
The operating mode is half -
duplex. The serial channel does only
function when the instrument is in the run mode and it normally
stands in data reception mode until reception of a message.
A valid data transmission may cause the immediate execution of
an action (tare, reset of the pe
ak, valley or tare memories,
modification of setpoints values) or the transmission of a
response from the instrument (display value, one of the setpoint
value, peak, valley, tare / offset).
The display value (solely) can be requested by means of an
extern al button as shown in schematics of page 9.
From the web site www.ditel.es can be downloaded the specific
software that allows to connect the KOSMOS instruments to a
PC and whole programming, as well as to verify its
communication s hardware.
The communications Port
shall not be connected to
the telephone system.

ASCII PROTOCOL
The Transmission format is: 1 START bit, 8 DATA bits, NO
parity bit and 1 STOP bit.
FORMAT of MESSAGE TO BESENT FROM MASTER
A message sent from the master device to the instrument must
be composed of the following sequence of ASCII characters:
* D d C C X ........................... X CR
One " * " byte [ASCII 42] of start of message.
Two address bytes (from 00 to 99).
One or two ASCII characters corresponding to the desired
command according to the Functions TABLE (Add endum
A.1).
In case that the command request for a modification of
parameters, the new value shall be transmitted with one
byte of sign ( + [ASCII 43] or - [ASCII 45] ) followed by a
block of N ASCII characters (depending on model), including
the decimal point.
One " CR " [ASCII 13] character of end of message.
FORMAT of MESSAGE FROM INSTRUMENT
The data sent from the instrument as a response to a
data request type command from the master device is
the following:
SP X ........................... X CR
One byte of blank space [ASCII 32].
One text (requested values) consisting of a byte of
sign (+ [ASCII 43] or - [ASCII 45] ) followed by a
block of N ASC II characters (depending on model)
including the decimal point.
One " CR " byte [ASCII 13] of end of message.
If the command belongs to orders or changing
parameters , the instruments gives no response.
1.2. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Three communication modes are provided; The ASCII mode utilizes an easy to use protocol, compatible with several models
of DITEL instruments. The ISO mode, according to the ISO 1745 standard, permits a more safe commun ication in noisy
environments since the data transfer is verified at the transmission and reception ends. In addition can be used a third
protocol: MODBUS RTU (see manual on www.ditel.es)
As it can be seen in the Functions TABLE (Addendum A.1), the ASCII protocol uses 1 or 2 bytes commands depending of the
command type while the ISO 1745 protocol forces the use of two bytes per command.

2.1. INSTALLATION
Lift out the electronics assembly from the case
and use a screwdriver to pull on the junctions
between the case and the gray market area to
detach it from the case.
The so pe
rformed orifice will allow to RS2
output board connector be brought out at the
rear of the instrument.
Install the circuit board so that the lower pin
fits into the corresponding main board
insertion slot and push down to plug the M1
option connector in th
e main board M1
location.
If the instrument is to be installed in high
vibrating environments, it is recommended to
solder the card to the main board making use
of the copper tracks on both sides of the card
pin and around the main board hole on its
solder side.
Before inserting the electronics in the case,
you should verify that the access to the
programming modules is enabled, since this is
the next operation to be made after powering
the unit.
