1. General
The digital instrument SSI 9001/2 can be equipped with abidirectional RS
485 interface. The connection of the interfaces is specify in the manual of the
instrument SSI 9001/2.
2. Communications protocol
The organization of the communications protocol is conformed to DIN ISO 1745.
Theinformationmessageconsistofthetransmissioncontrolcharacter,thecommand
an the optional datas.
The instrument SSI 9001/2 gives a answer to each command. A host wait for the
answer and devaluate them.
Transmission parameters
baud rate: : 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200
parity : no
data bits : 8
stop bits : 1
Transmission format:
SOH DDSTX C C C X..X ETX BCC
Significance of the sign:
SOH (ASCII 01) : start of heading
D : adress (decimal) of the instrument
STX (ASCII 02) : start of text
C : command signal sequence
: optional datas
ETX (ASCII 03) : end of text
BCC : control byte
ACK (ASCII 06) : positive acknowledge from the receiver
NAK (ASCII 21) : negative acknowledge from the receiver
Generation of the control byte:
Carry out a exclusive-OR operation (XOR) for all bytes between STX (exclusive)
and ETX (inclusive). The byte can be used direct as the control byte, if the value is
higher as 32. If the value of the control byte is lower as 32, it must be added 32 to
them.

Possible message formats
Return of datas:
STX X..X ETX BCC
Positive acknowledge:
ACK
Negative acknowledge (Errors):
NAK
Reasons of a negative acknowledge (Errors):
• command is unknown
• datas are wrong (to short or to long)
• datas contains wrong signs
• datas lies out of the value range
• wrong control byte
