2.3 ETHERNET INTERFACE
The Ethernet interface is located on the left (K) or bottom-left (X) of the controller beside the RS-232 port.
3.0 CHARACTER FORMAT
The system receives and sends characters via all interfaces in an ASCII format. Characters are not echoed when
received, and transmitted characters must not be echoed back to the system.
3.1 COMMAND MESSAGE FORMAT
All command and response messages are configured in a format which includes a control character(s), a function
code and a data field. The control characters are described in this section while the function codes and data field
messages are described in subsequent sections.
The system responds to a command message that has the following configuration:
SOH | Format Char | Command Code | Data Field
SOH is a control-A character (ASCII 01). Start of string.
The Format Character (I, i, S, s) determines the type of command and response. A upper-case format character
will return a response in display format. A lower-case format character will return a response in computer format.
“I, i” = information response. “S, s” = set command.
The Command Code is a three or six character command code which the system interprets to determine the type of
action to take. System command codes and response messages are defined in subsequent sections.
The Data Field contains information necessary to perform the selected function (such as tank number and setup
information).
4.0 RESPONSE MESSAGE FORMAT
There are two types of response message formats: computer (or compressed data format) and display format. Each
format uses a different format character.
If the system receives a command message string containing a function code that it does not recognize, it will
respond with a <SOH>9999FF1B<ETX>. The "9999" indicates that the system has not understood the command,
while the "FF1B" is the appropriate checksum for the preceding <SOH>9999 string.

OEL8000III Series Models K/X
4.1 COMPUTER FORMAT
The computer format is a stream of numbers without any formatting characters; i.e., carriage return, line feed,
spaces, labels, etc. The message format is as follows:
SOH | Format Char | Command Code | Data Field | 9 | Checksum | ETX (TLS-250 compatible)
SOH | Format Char | Command Code | Data Field | && | Checksum | ETX (TLS-350 compatible)
The SOH is a Control-A character (ASCII 01). Start of string.
The Format Character (I, i, S, s, t) determines the type of command and response. A upper-case format character
will return a response in display format. A lower-case format character will return a response in computer format.
“I, i, t” = information response. “S, s” = set command.
The Command Code is identical to the received command message function code.
The Data Field contains the response message which is described in subsequent sections.
The "&&" or “9” is a fixed tag character which indicates that the checksum immediately follows.
The Checksum is a series of four ASCII-hexadecimal characters which provide a check on the integrity of all the
characters preceding it, including the control characters. The four characters represent a 16-bit binary count which
is the 2's complemented sum of the 8-bit binary representation of the message characters after the parity bit (if
enabled) has been cleared.
The data integrity check can be done by converting the four checksum characters to the 16-bit binary number and
adding the 8-bit binary representation of the message characters to it. The binary result should be zero. (see section
9.0)
The ETX end of string character is programmable. The default ETX character is a Control-C character (ASCII 03).
Caution should be taken before changing the ETX character, because it affects the transmitted messages on ALL
communications ports of the system, and additional host devices may be connected to other ports which expect the
ETX to be a Control-C.
4.2 DISPLAY FORMAT
The display format is intended for display on a CRT. It includes all the necessary formatting characters such as
carriage returns, line feeds, nulls, spaces, labels, etc. to view the data

8.0 REMOTE TROUBLESHOOTING TECHNIQUES
8.1 SERIAL SETUP
a) Make sure that a one to one serial cable (pins 2,3 and 5 used) is used from the computer to the OEL8000III-K/X.
Make sure that the RS232 connector is firmly connected into RS-232 port on the bottom-left of the controller.
b) Check the OEL8000III-K/X’s setup menu for the proper serial protocol. See section 6 for details.
8.2 LOOP BACK TEST 1 – Test cabling from computer to OEL8000III-K/Xfor continuity and
functionality.
Connect a serial cable from a computer to a loop-back connector or jumper pins 2 and 3 on the serial cable.
From a terminal program on your computer (most computers have Hyper-terminal installed) select the proper baud
rate settings and select connect.
Next, type in any character from the keyboard. The character typed should appear on the computers screen (two
times if echo is enabled in the terminal programs setup).
If the character appears correctly on the screen that means that the communication is reaching the OEL8000III-K/X
properly.
What is happening is that the command is being sent through the serial port from Hyper-terminal, through the cable
and jumper (in the OEL8000III-K/X), then back to computer’s serial port and into hyper-terminal. This procedure
will test the continuity of the wiring and computers serial port’s functionality.
If the above test does not work, use a continuity checker and check the connections from the computer to the three
pin connector in the OEL8000III-K/X.

9.0 ASCII HEX FLOATING POINT FORMAT
Some remote commands use an ASCII Hex format when transmitting or receiving numbers. This procedure will
explain how to convert a number from decimal to ASCII Hex and from ASCII Hex to decimal.
Floating Point Numbers
There are two problems with integers; they cannot express fractions, and the range of the number is limited to the
number of bits used. An efficient way of storing fractions is called the floating point method, which involves
splitting the fraction into two parts, an exponent and a mantissa.
The exponent represents a value raised to the power of 2.
The mantissa represents a fractional value between 0 and 1.
Consider the number
12.50
The number is first converted into the format
2n * 0.xxxxxx
where n represents the exponent and 0.xxxxx is the mantissa.
The computer industry agreed upon a standard for the storage of floating point numbers. It is called the IEEE 754
standard, and uses 32 bits of memory (for single precision), or 64 bits (for double precision accuracy). The single
precision format looks like,
Bits

+---+-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| S | Exponent value | Mantissa value |
+---+-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
S = Sign Bit
The sign bit is 1 for a negative mantissa, and 0 for a positive mantissa.
The exponent uses a bias of 127.
The mantissa is stored as a binary value using an encoding technique.
Working out the FP bit patterns
The number we have is
12.5
which expressed as fraction to the power of 2 is,
12.5 / 2 = 6.25
6.25 / 2 = 3.125
3.125 / 2 = 1.5625
1.5625 / 2 = 0.78125
NOTE: Keep dividing by 2 till a fraction between 0 and 1 results. The fraction is the mantissa value, the number of

divisions is the exponent value.
thus our values now are,
0.78125 * (2*2*2*2) (comment: this is 2 to the power of 4) = 12.5
The exponent bit pattern is stored using an excess of 127. This means that this value is added to the exponent when
storing (and subtracted when removing).
The exponent bit pattern to store is,
4 + 127 = 131 decimal = '10000011 Hex'
As the mantissa is a positive value, the sign bit is 0.
The mantissa is a little more complicated to work out. Each bit represents 2 to the power of a negative number. It
looks like,
1st bit of mantissa = 0.5
2nd = 0.25
3rd = 0.125
4th = 0.0625
5th = 0.03125
etc
The mantissa number value we have is 0.78125, which in binary is
11001000000000000000000 (0.5 + 0.25 + 0.03125) = 0.78125
However, to make matters even more complicated, the mantissa is normalized, by moving the bit patterns to the left
(each shift subtracts one from the exponent value) till the first 1 drops off.
The resulting pattern is then stored.
The mantissa now becomes
10010000000000000000000
and the exponent is adjusted to become
131 - 1 = 130 = '10000010'
The final assembled format is,

Sign bit is 0 = positive number.
The exponent value of, 10000010 Hex = 2^1 + 2^7 = 130 decimal
130 - 127 = 3
And a mantissa value of, 10010000000000000000000 Hex = 2^22 + 2^19 = 4718592 decimal
bit 22 = 0.5, bit 21 = 0.25, etc
1 + (4718592 / 8388608) = 1.5625 OR 1 + ( 0.5 + 0.0625 ) = 1.5625
