What's the terminating character of ADAM-4521?
Solution:
Actually, we use carriage return as terminating character for ADAM-4521, the detailed description is as follows: A. Non-addressable: Under this situation, ADAM-4521 acts like a converter, so it is nothing to do with terminating character. B. Addressable: Because there is a microprocessor built-in ADAM-4521, before receiving the message from RS-485, ADAM-4521 would check ID address to distinguish this message is sent to her or not. So you must set delimiter character and ID address for ADAM-4521. If delimiter character and ID are correct, then microprocessor will bypass the rest characters to RS-232 side. For instance, {01$AAM => RS-485 => ADAM-4521 => RS-232 => $AAM You can see delimiter character, ID address and are filtered. In fact, you can set "Add " under ADAM-4521 utility, then ADAM-4521 will add to your message automatically, just like the below: {01$AAM => RS-485 => ADAM-4521 with => RS-232 => $AAM The command for passing data is shown as follows: {AAData, { : delimiter character, AA: ID, Data: your message up to 32 bytes
