1. Introduction



1. 1. About the NuDAM Analog Input Modules

The NuDAM provides a series of analog input modules which can sense the analog signal or to control the remote devices. The basic features of each module are shown here.




1. 2. Overview of NuDAM-6011

What is NuDAM-6011 ?

NuDAM-6011 is a multi-functions analog input module with cold junction compensation (CJC). The maximum input voltage range of analog input channel is ±2.5V. The high gain feature allows very small full range of ±15mV. To measure temperature by directly connect the thermal couple is possible because of using the CJC inside and the high gain feature. The voltage range of the ADC can be set according to different types of thermal couple. The ADC can be calibrated by programming without handy adjustment. This feature insurance the best performance under different environment.

The module provides the analog signal monitor or the alarm function. The high and low bound of the alarm limit can be set by programming. The alaram status can be send to digital output channels if this function is ON. The supervisor of a factory can `see' or `hear' the alarm if the digital output channel control a real alarm device. The two digital output channel can be set for general purpose used if the alarm is disable. For example, connecting relay devices to DO channels, the NuDAM-6011 can be used to control the high power devices.

The module provides another one digital input channel. This can be used for general purpose such as monitor digital signal, or be used as input of the event counter.

2. 2. Initializing a Brand-New Module

Objective of Initializing a Brand-New NuDAM
All NuDAM modules, except NuDAM-6520 and NuDAM-6510, in a RS-485 network must have an unique address ID. Every brand-new NuDAM has a factory default setting as following:

Therefore, to configure the brand-new NuDAM before using is necessary to avoid conflicting address. The baud rate may also be changed according to user`s requirements.

The initialization procedures of a brand-new NuDAM are shown in the following sections. The procedures are applicable for initializing NuDAM-6011 and NuDAM-6012.

Default State
The NuDAM modules must be set at Default State when you want to change the default settings, including the ID address, baud rate, check-sum status etc. All NuDAM modules have an special pin labeled as DEFAULT*. The module will be in Default State if the DEFAULT* pin is shorted to ground when power ON. Under this state, the default configuration is set as following:

Therefore, the configuration of the host and the module can be easily set identically and initializing a module will be possible no matter what configuration is set under operating state.

Initialization Equipments

Initialization Procedure

  1. Power off the host computer and the installed NuDAM-6520. Be sure of the baud rate of the NuDAM-6520 is 9600 bps.
  2. Connect a brand new NuDAM module with the RS-485. Set the module in Default State by shorting the DEFAULT* pin. Refer to Figure 2.1 for detailed wiring.
  3. Power on the host computer.
  4. Power on the power supply for NuDAM modules.
  5. Use the NuDAM Administrating utility to configure the address ID, Baud rate and check-sum status of the module.

3. Command Set





3. 1. Command and Response

Introduction
The NuDAM command is composed by numbers of characteristics, including the leading code, address ID, the variables, the optional check-sum bytes, and a carriage return to indicate the end of a command. The host computer can only command only one NuDAM module except those syncronized commands with wildcard address "**". The NuDAM may or may not give response to the command. The host should check the response to handshake with the modules.

Document Conventions
The following syntax conventions describes the NuDAM commands in this manual.

(Leading Code) Leading Code is the first characteristic of the NuDAM command. All NuDAM commands need a command leading code, such as %,$,#,@,...etc.
1- character
(Addr) Module's address ID, the value is in the range of 00 - FF (Hex).
2- character
(Command Variable) Command codes or value of variables.
Variable length
[Data] Some commands need additional data.
Variable length
[Checksum] Checksum in brackets indicate optional parameter, only checksum is enable then this field is required.
2- character
< > Identifies a control code character, such as <CR> for carriage return, its value is 0x0D. 1- character

Format of NuDAM Commands
(Leading Code)(Addr)(Command)[Data][Checksum]<CR>

When checksum is enable then [Checksum] is needed, it is 2-character. Both command and response must append the checksum characters.

How to calculate checksum value ?

[Checksum] = ((LeadingCode)+(Addr)+(Command)+[Data]) MOD 0x100

Example 1: checksum is disable

     User Command :      $012<CR>     
     Response     :      !01400600<CR>     

     $              : LeadingCode
     01             : Address     
     2              : Command  (Read Configuration)     
     <CR>     : Carriage return 0x0D     

Example 2: checksum is enable

     User Command :      $012B7<CR>     
     Response     :      !01400600AC<CR>     

     $              : LeadingCode     
     01             : Address     
     2              : Command  (Read Configuration)     
     B7             : Checksum value     
     <CR>     : Carriage return 0x0D     

      `$' = 0x24     `0' = 0x30      `1' = 0x31     `2' = 0x32     

B7 = ( 0x24 + 0x30 + 0x31 + 0x32 ) MOD 0x100


     `!' = 0x24     `0' = 0x30      `1' = 0x31     `4' = 0x34        `6' = 0x36                    

AC = ( 0x24 + 0x30 + 0x31 + 0x34 + 0x30 + 0x30 + 0x36 + 0x30 + 0x30 ) MOD 0x100

Note : 1. There is no spacing between the command words and the checksum characters.
2. Every command follows a <CR> carriage return for ending.
3. The checksum characters are optional.

Response of NuDAM Commands
The response message depends on verstile NuDAM command. The response is composed with a few characteristics, including leading code, variables, and carriage return for ending. There are two categories of leading code for response message, "!" or ">" means valid command and "?" means invalid. By checking the response message, user can monitor the command is valid or not.

Note : Under the following conditions, there will have no response message.
1. The specified address ID is not exist.
2. Syntax error.
3. Communication error.
4. Some special commands does not have response.


3. 2. Summary of Command Set

There are three categories of NuDAM commands. The first is the general commands, including set configuration command, read configuration, reset, read module`s name or firmware version, etc. Every NuDAM can response to the general commands. The second is the functional commands, which depends on functions of each module. Not every module can execute all function commands. The third is the special commands including functions about the programmable watchdog timer, safe values, and the programmable leading code. All the commands used in the NuDAM analog input module are list in the following table.
