AccuLoad IV Smith Communications Manual

1 Introduction
This manual describes how the Smith Meter AccuLoad IV Electronic Preset
communicates with other computing devices―from a simple terminal to a high-end
SCADA system computer running a terminal automation system―when using the
Smith protocol.
Incorporated within the AccuLoad IV is the ability to communicate directly (without a
modem or multiplexer) with a host or other device via Ethernet (Smith SMIP protocol,
TCP/IP port 7734) or serially via an EIA-232C- or EIA-485-compatible remote serial
terminal or minicomputer. Depending on the communication type, certain key
information from multiple AccuLoad IVs can be requested (polled). The AccuLoad can
optionally be configured to require remote authorization before releasing the interface
for operator use. Using this interface, the host computer also can authorize specific
additives, set a batch volume, reset alarms, and remotely program certain AccuLoad
IV program codes.
To configure the AccuLoad for host communications, the following program codes
must be specified.

1.2 Using the Smith Meter Protocol Over

TCP/IP
The AccuLoad IV has a reserved port that supports Smith Meter protocol
communications. This protocol is currently fixed at port 7734. The AccuLoad IV
expects a single complete command to be contained in each packet received. The
AccuLoad IV ignores fragmented commands and any additional commands after the
first in a packet. Due to the relatively small size of the Smith command frame, this
does not usually pose a problem for the communicating client; however, most Telnet-
type programs attempt to send data as soon as it is entered, so the resulting packets
received by the AccuLoad IV do not have complete commands and are ignored. The
AccuMate has a built-in tool―the Terminal Emulator―that sends an entire command
in one packet. Custom software written to communicate with the AccuLoad can
duplicate this functionality by submitting a completely formed communication
command along with any required arguments to the TCP transport layer
simultaneously.

AccuLoad IV Smith Communications Manual

Both Terminal and Minicomputer mode protocol framing will work via the TCP/IP
connection. Note that with Minicomputer mode, the longitudinal redundancy check
(LRC) is redundant to the inherent security provided by TCP and is not checked (and
can be left off entirely).

2 Communication Protocols
2.1 Communication Types
The type of communicating device used in System Communications with an
AccuLoad IV is configurable and can be defined in the System Communications
directory of the AccuLoad IV. The available options are as follows:
l Terminal (Term Host)—Enables the AccuLoad IV communications ports to
communicate with a terminal-type device using a simplified communications
protocol.
l Minicomputer (Minicomp Host)—Enables the AccuLoad IV communications ports
to communicate with a minicomputer-type device using a secure communications
protocol.
l Modbus Host—Indicates the AccuLoad IV communication ports support Modbus
communications.
l Card Reader—Permits the AccuLoad.net to communicate with the Smith Meter
Card Reader.
l Printer—Indicates one AccuLoad IV communicates with one printer and that a
report is printed at the end of each transaction.
l Shared Printer—Indicates multiple AccuLoad IVs communicate with a single
printer and that a report is printed at the end of each transaction.
l Smart Injector—Permits the AccuLoad IV to communicate with smart additive
injector systems (such as Gate City Blend-Pak and Mini-Pak, Titan Pak3, and
Smith Meter AccuTroller).
l Nedap vehicle tag reader—Indicates the AccuLoad IV can be configured to
capture data from a Nedap vehicle tag reader and autofill prompt response
information with the tag data.
l Mass Meter—Indicates the AccuLoad IV can communicate with the
Endress+Hauser Promass 100 or 300/500 transmitters.

2.2 Communications for Terminal Mode of

Operation
The AccuLoad IV System Program Code Communications Port Function must be set
to Terminal Host. This character-oriented protocol uses the American Standard Code
for Information Interchange (ASCII) value for the asterisk character (*) to define the
start of a message and carriage return and line feed (CR and LF) characters to end the
message. No error checking other than parity on each character is performed.
The message format for terminal mode of operation for an instruction to AccuLoad IV
is:
* A1 A2 <text> CR LF

The message format for terminal mode of operation for a response from AccuLoad IV
is:
* A1 A2 <text> CR LF
where
l * (asterisk) = hexadecimal 2A
l Text = Character string containing instructional or response information
l CR = Carriage return (hexadecimal 0D)
l LF = Line feed (hexadecimal 0A)
l A1 A2 = AccuLoad IV address (01 to 99)
An example of the command and response is:
*01RS<CR><LF>

*01TD BD<CR><LF>
Data is formatted using ASCII characters and each character frame consists of 1 start
bit, 7 or 8 data bits, none, even or odd parity, and 1 or 2 stop bits. A maximum
communication rate of 38,400 baud is supported. There is no echo back of received
characters by the AccuLoad IV in the Terminal Mode of operation.

Bulletin MN06204L Issue/Rev. 0.3 (2/23) 5

AccuLoad IV Smith Communications Manual

2.3 Communications for Minicomputer

Mode of Operation
This character-oriented protocol uses the transmission control character STX to
define the start of a message, and ETX to terminate the message. A Longitudinal
Redundancy Check (LRC) character follows the ETX character for additional
message error detection beyond the traditional parity check done on each transmitted
character.
The message format for minicomputer mode of operation for an instruction to
AccuLoad IV is:
STX A1 A2 <message text> ETX LRC

where
l NL = Null character hexidecimal 00
l STX = Start of text hexidecimal 02
l Text = Character string containing instructional or response information
l ETX = End of text hexidecimal 03
l LRC = Longitudinal redundancy check
l PAD = Pad character hexidecimal 7F
l A1 A2 = AccuLoad IV address (01 to 99)
An example of the command and response is:
<02>01EQ<03><LRC><7F>

<00><02>01
The LRC is an ASCII character computed as the exclusive OR (XOR) sum of all
characters following the STX and including the ETX transmission control characters.
The universal or global address "00" is an invalid address and must not be assigned to
any AccuLoad. The address, A1 A2, always consists of two ASCII characters.
Data is formatted using ASCII characters and each character frame consists of one
start bit, seven or eight data bits, none, even or odd parity, and one or two stop bits.
There is no echo back of received characters by the AccuLoad IV in the Minicomputer
Mode of communications.

Bulletin MN06204L Issue/Rev. 0.3 (2/23) 6

AccuLoad IV Smith Communications Manual

2.4 Text Format

Command and response text is shown enclosed in single quotes. Embedded spaces
are represented by an underscore character ( _ ). Any other character representation
is described where used.
"OK" is used in response to any action type command that has been successfully
carried out. For request-only commands, a good response reports the data requested
in the format shown for that command.
"NOXX" (where XX represents a two-character code) is used to show that the
command was rejected. The two-character code represents the condition causing the
rejection. For an expanded description of these codes, see Alphanumeric Character
Set Used By the AccuLoad IV.

A time out or no response received from the AccuLoad IV occurs when the command
string was entered incorrectly. The communicating program should set an upper limit
on the amount of time it waits for a response from any AccuLoad and register a time-
out when that time has elapsed to prevent a bad command from locking up the
communications. Commands must be formatted exactly as stated. Invalid addresses,
incomplete data, and excess data are all causes for this to occur. A more detailed
explanation follows:
l Invalid Address—AccuLoad IV ignores a commands with an address does not
match its own. The communication address is programmed into the AccuLoad IV
System program code 701 and following.
l Incomplete Data—The code format for each communication command is stated in
the Command Reference Guide. If any portion of the command is left out, a time-
out occurs.
l Excess Data—Commands must be formatted exactly as stated. No excess data
may be inserted or added.

2.5 Communication Control Selections

The amount of control that the communicating device has over the AccuLoad IV is
programmable for various degrees of control, as follows:
l Polling Only—Only permits the EIA-232 or EIA-485 communication device to
request information.
l Poll and Authorize—Permits the EIA-232 or EIA-485 communication device to
request information and to authorize operation.

Bulletin MN06204L Issue/Rev. 0.3 (2/23) 7

AccuLoad IV Smith Communications Manual

l Remote Control—Permits the EIA-232 or EIA-485 communication device to have

complete control over all operations.
l XON/XOFF—Printer security protocol designed to keep the printer buffer from
overflowing. The printer sends an XOFF (13 hex) when the print buffer is nearly
full. The AccuLoad stops sending data until the printer sends an XON (11 hex),
signifying it is ready for more data.
l Poll and Program—Identical to Polling Only, but adds programming privilege and
excludes authorizing privilege.
l PTB-FX Protocol—A security level designed to support the PTB weights and
measures agency-approved printer interface. This interface is currently supported
by and applies to the Epson FX-850 printer.
This interface uses a data-block structure with handshaking. The AccuLoad initially
sends an ENQ (enquire) to the printer. The printer then responds with an
acknowledgement (ACK) and is then ready to receive a block of data from the
AccuLoad. A block of data is defined as one line to be printed. The data is wrapped
between a STX (start of text) and an ETX (end of text) and is followed by the
longitudinal redundancy checksum for the data block. After the AccuLoad sends
the data block, the printer responds with an ACK (if the data was received
correctly) or a NAK (negative acknowledgement, if not received correctly. If the
printer responds with a NAK, the data block is re-transmitted.
l PTB-LQ PROTOCOL—A security level designed to support a PTB weights and
measures agency-approved printer interface. This interface is currently supported
by and applies to the Epson LQ-570 printer.
This interface uses a data block structure with handshaking. The AccuLoad initially
sends an ENQ (enquire) to the printer. The printer then responds with an ACK and
is then ready to receive a block of data from the AccuLoad. A block of data is
defined as one line to be printed. The data is wrapped between a STX (start of text)
and an ETX (end of text) and is followed by the longitudinal redundancy checksum
for the data block. After the AccuLoad sends the data block, the printer responds
with an ACK (if the data was received correctly) or a NAK (if not received correctly).
If the printer responds with a NAK, the data block is re-transmitted.
Each command listed in the Command Reference Guide of this manual indicates the
supporting communication modes.

3 Communications with
Smart Injectors
The AccuLoad IV communicates with the Titan, Gate City Smart Additive, and Smith
Meter Smart Additive Systems. After three tries, if a response is not received from the
additive injector system, an alarm is set and the AccuLoad IV responds to the alarm as
instructed to do in the configuration.
The AccuLoad IV controls smart additive subsystems and additive pacing through
communications. For example, the additive system receives communication
commands at the same interval that piston injectors would receive a signal to inject.
With smart injectors, incoming pulses are not required by the additive injector. Certain
parameters must be established in the additive subsystem prior to each batch and
injector commands are issued during the batch and at the end of the batch. In all
cases, the parameters and commands are only issued to those additive injector
systems authorized for use for the current batch.

3.1 Pass-By Communications Mode

The pass-by communications mode is designed to allow supervisory computers to
communicate with smart additive injectors under the control of the AccuLoad IV.
Commands from the supervisory computer are received from the AccuLoad IV on one
communications line and forwarded to the additive injection subsystem on another
communications line. Queries and control commands are only permitted while the
AccuLoad IV is in ready mode. Queries and commands are not accepted by the
AccuLoad while it is in run mode or programming mode.

Communications from a supervisory computer to a smart additive injector is a three-

step process. First, the supervisory computer issues a pass-by command to the
AccuLoad IV. The AccuLoad IV acknowledges receipt of the command to the
supervisory computer. Next, the AccuLoad adds framing characters, as required, and
issues the command to the smart additive injector. The additive injector returns an
appropriate response to the AccuLoad. The final step occurs when the supervisory
computer requests the additive's response from the AccuLoad IV.

The communications scheme was developed to maintain a response time consistent

with other commands sent by the supervisory computer.

Extended
This command retrieves the operational status of AccuLoad IV and is simply an
extended version of the EQ command. Data is returned in a bit-mapped format.

Command
EE

Responses
Good responses:
l OK = command accepted and AccuLoad will attempt to print reports.
l A1 through A20

where each “A” is a “quasi hex” value, such as “0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > ?”.
Error response is NOXX = data not retrieved.

Note: A1—A16 are in the same format as the EQ command; A19—A20 not used.

Remarks
l For bay configurations, SA, SF, TD, and TP refer to the bay; other flags continue to
be specific to the arm.
l If the AccuLoad is unable to start a transaction because it would require over-
writing a protected or pending transaction report, the AccuLoad will respond to SB,
AU, and AP commands with a NO10 (storage full).

4.29 Command Code FL: Read Flow Count

This command retrieves raw pulse and volume counts from the AccuLoad IV.

Command
FL: read flow count for the arm (straight, sequential, ratio, hybrid sequential meter)
FL_Px: read raw pulse counts for specified product (ratio blending only). Read raw
pulse counts for specified ratio products (only) on a hybrid arm.
FL_R: read raw volume or mass for the arm (straight, sequential, ratio, hybrid
sequential meter).

FL_Px_R: read raw volume or mass for specified product (ratio blending only and
products only on a hybrid arm.)
where:
l x = product number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 for ratio blending
l X = product number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for hybrid arm (only if ratio product)

Responses
Good responses:
l FL_VVVVVVVVVV = flow count for arm (straight product or ratio blending)
l FL_VVVVVVVVVV_Px = flow count for specified product (ratio, sequential, or
hybrid)
l FL_VVVVVVVVVV _VV = raw volume or mass amount for the arm
l FL_VVVVVVVVVV _VV_Px = raw volume or mass amount for specified product
where VVVVVVVVVV = raw pulse count.
Error response is NOXX = did not receive the raw counts from the AccuLoad.

Remarks
For straight product applications the response will not include the Px parameter. The
count is reset to zero at the start and end of each transaction.

Constraints
l VVVVVVVVVV is an unfactored raw pulse count. This value is reset to zero at start
and end of each transaction.

Bulletin MN06204L Issue/Rev. 0.3 (2/23) 119

AccuLoad IV Smith Communications Manual

l Sequential blending applications and hybrid arm sequential products: The Px

parameter will indicate the component currently flowing. In this case, the flow count
may not reflect the pulses for the component indicated. For example, if the first
component delivered 1,000 pulses and the second component delivered 750
pulses, the response will show FL 1000 P1 after component one has completed its
delivery and FL 1750 P2 after component two completes its delivery.
l Ratio blending applications and hybrid arm sequential products: FL without the Px
parameter will return the current pulse count through the arm; for example, the
sum of the two component products' flow count. The Px parameter will not be
returned.
l NO31 will be returned if the command FL_Px is directed to an arm currently
configured for straight product or sequential blending. NO31 will be returned if the
product regulated is a sequential product on a hybrid arm.

Special Case
Px reflects the product currently being loaded or the last product that was loaded, if
loading is not currently active. Stray pulses from the meter may accumulate and
register in the FL command between loads. In the event of unauthorized flow such as
this, the Px product designation does not necessarily indicate which product is
leaking.

4.34 Command Code IC: Injector

Command
This command is used to specify the command to be sent to a smart additive injector.

Command
IC_c..c
where:
l IC = injector command literal
l c..c = command text (as shown below)
l c..c = AAAY…Y, where
l AAA = injector comm address (ASCII)
l Y...Y = injector command (ASCII)
(Gate City Protocol I and Titan PAC-3 Protocol)

Note: The AccuLoad installs an STX before c..c, an ETX and calculated LRC after
c..c, and then sends this out the injector comm port.

Responses
Good response is OK.
Error response is NOXX.
where X =
l 01 = in the programming mode
l 02 = AccuLoad IV released
l 06 = operation not allowed
l 19 = option not installed

When the AccuLoad IV receives an IC command, a NO06 response will be moved into
the appropriate response buffer. This NO06 response will indicate that no response
has yet been received from the Additive Injector Subsystem. This will prevent the
supervisory computer from issuing an immediate IR command and reading an old

response from a previous command that may have been issued to a different additive
subsystem.
If communications with an additive subsystem has not been selected in the
programming mode, this command will return a NO response.
If the specified command is valid for the AccuLoad's current mode of operation, the
query or command is copied into the additive command buffer. If the address is
invalid, for example, there is no additive injector with that address connected to the
AccuLoad, no response will ever be received. If the command is improperly
constructed or not valid for the type of additive injector selected, the additive injector
will respond appropriately and the supervisory computer can decode the response
given.
STX and ETX characters are added to the command. The LRC is calculated and
added onto the end of the command.

follows:
l Enter key (ENTER) = "E"
l Print key (PRINT) = "P"
l Start key (START) = "A"
l Set key (SET) = "B"
The clear key (CLEAR) has a function and therefore will not be represented on the
display. If pressed, the last character entered will be cleared and another character
may be entered in its place. If pressed a second time, the entire field will be cleared
and the entry will have to be repeated.
Error response is NOXX = pending data was not available.

Remarks
The response string NNNN...N will contain leading zeros to the length of response
specified in the prompt that was issued. If the expected input length for a prompt is
four digits and only two digits are entered, two leading zeros and the two digits input at
the keypad will be displayed in the response to the RK. If the prompt was issued with

4.87 Command Code WA: Write Second

Line of Message to Appear on Display
This command instructs the AccuLoad IV to display the second line of a message, up
to 30 characters in length. The message is displayed on the line below the message
specified with a WD, WP, WQ, or WX command. The format is identical to these
commands; however, the time out value is ignored. The delimiter character is not
ignored; the last command set determines the expected input form.

Command
WA_NNN_X...Xd99

where:
l X...X: an alphanumeric character string of up to 30 characters (see Remarks).
l NNN: timeout value in seconds. An entry of 000 will cause the timeout value to
default to what was entered for the first display message or if a non-zero entry is
used, it will override the previous value entered.
l d: a required delimiter used to signify the input field. There are three different
delimiters each indicating a unique handling of the input process. They are as
follows:
l &: input data is entered directly with no initiator required; any function key except
the CLEAR or the STOP may be used to terminate the input sequence.
l [: an ENTER key must initiate the input sequence; any function key except the
CLEAR or STOP may be used to terminate the input sequence.
l ]: an ENTER key must initiate the input sequence; only an ENTER key will be
accepted for terminating the input sequence.

Note: The above delimiters are acceptable as part of the alphanumeric message.

l 99: represents the input field length. This may be encoded to allow a variable
length input field up to the length specified here. The range of the input length is 00
to 20. To encode the option of the variable length input, add 40 to the desired input
field length.

Example: To request an input field length of five, enter 05. To also include the option,
enter 45. If the option is not included the operator will have to put in five digits and then

Appendix 3:
Unauthorized Flow
Unauthorized flow occurs when the AccuLoad picks up and accumulates stray pulses
from the meter between transactions. This could be leakage or it could be product
moving back and forth in the meter. These raw pulse counts are accumulated in the
flow counter and can be viewed in the response to the FL command. These raw
pulses can be converted to units (such as gallons or liters) by dividing the
accumulated pulse count by the programmed k factor. For example, if the meter's k
factor is set to 50, an accumulated pulse count of 104 reflects unauthorized flow of a
little more than 2 units.
When the AccuLoad is authorized for a transaction, the flow counter is restarted at
zero. This updates the non-resettable total for the product by the amount accumulated
in the flow counter, if the option in System Volume Accuracy Directory Program Code
336 is set to Transaction Start. (If the option is set to Dynamic, the non-resettable
totalizer is updated in near real-time.)
The presence of unauthorized flow is indicated by a status of Flowing without a
corresponding Released status in the response to the EQ or RS commands.

Appendix 4:
Using the Bitmap Tables
Many command codes in this manual use bitmapping to encode information as
concisely as possible. Up to four discrete bits of information may be represented by a
single ASCII character, both as commands to and responses from the AccuLoad.
Most command codes that use bitmapping consist of two or more ASCII characters.
This appendix describes how to encode or decode a single ASCII character; the
process can be repeated for each additional character.

Each option listed across the top of the table carries a binary weighted value
associated with it. From right to left, the values are 1, 2, 4, and 8. Special characters
are used to represent hexadecimal values A through F, which equate to decimal
values 10 through 15, when the bit values for selected options are added together.
The Char column (not the Hex column) is used to encode and decode ASCII
characters.

4.1 Encoding a Bitmapped Character

The letter X in the table indicates a selected option. First, determine which of the four
column heading options will be encoded. Find the row that contains Xs for the options
selected. The character listed along the left axis is equal to the value of the options
selected.
For example, consider the AB command in a scenario that you want to enable recipes
1, 3, 6, 7, and 8. Recipes 1 and 3 can be represented in the first ASCII character. The
row containing Xs for 1 and 3 only corresponds to the ASCII character 5; therefore, the
first character of the AB command would be 5. Recipes 6, 7, and 8 can be represented
in the second ASCII character. The character corresponding to these values is E, so
the second character of the AB command would be E. Because no recipes were
selected that can be encoded in the third, fourth, fifth, or sixth characters of the AB
command, these characters will be zeroes.
The complete AB command to enable recipes 1, 3, 6, 7 and 8 is "AB 5E0000".

4.2 Decoding a Bit-mapped Character

The letter X in the table indicates an asserted value. Decoding a character is the
opposite of encoding a character. Find the returned ASCII character in the left column.
For each X in that row, refer to the column header to determine what option or
condition is asserted.
For example, consider the following response to the EQ command: "580027", where:
l 5 represents AccuLoad IV Authorized and AccuLoad IV Released
l 8 represents Transaction in Progress
l 0 represents no conditions met in character 3
l 0 represents no conditions met in character 4
l 2 represents Input #2 contact
l 7 represents Input #5, Input #6, and Input #7
l 0 represents no conditions met in character 7
l 0 represents no conditions met in character 8

Appendix 5:
Communications
5.1 Communications Primer
Samuel F.B. Morse's dot-dash telegraph code is the earliest example of a practical,
time sequential, data-coding scheme for transmission of information by
communication equipment. This code is considered the predecessor of the ones and
zeros modern digital communication codes now used for serial data transmission of
time sequenced information over a pair of wires.
Like Morse Code, digital codes provide a means of representing numbers, letters of
the alphabet, or other special characters in a digital information system. A digital code
is a pattern of binary digits or bits, zeros and ones arranged in a predefined order.
One familiar code used for arithmetic computations in digital systems is the Binary
Coded Decimal, commonly known as BCD code. The BCD code is a weighted code in
that a numerical weight is assigned to each bit position in the code. Using a 4-bit BCD
code for an example, the left-most bit has a numeric weighted value of 8, the next bit
has a numeric weighted value of 4, the next to the last bit a weight value of 2 and the
last bit, a value of 1. The total value of the coded number is equal to the sum of the
numerical weights of the bits represented by the binary digit 1. Four-bit BCD codes are
valid only for numbers between 0 and 9. For example, the number 3 is represented by
a BCD code of "0011," and the number 9 is "1001." To represent 39, the respective
BCD code is "0011 1001."
There are many different codes used to perform specific tasks in digital systems, but
the one most widely used in digital communications systems is the American Standard
Code for Information Interchange, or simply ASCII code. Like other binary codes, the
ASCII code is a weighted code.
The ASCII code is a more complex code than BCD since it uses patterns of seven bits
to represent 128 characters consisting of either upper or lowercase letters of the
alphabet, punctuation characters, and control characters in addition to numbers. For
example, the ASCII code representation of the number 39 is "0110011 0111001." A
complete ASCII code character table is shown in Table 1.
A computer system always requires some digital data transmission between its
various parts: CPU to peripherals, CPU to memory, or memory to peripherals. Data
transmission to and from these devices must conform to some accepted standard. To

date, the only widely used transmission standards deal with serial digital data. There
are essentially three organizations that issue standards that define serial digital
communication interface circuits, their electrical and timing characteristics, the
manner in which they operate, and the mechanical details of the appropriate
connectors. These organizations are the Electronics Industries Association (EIA), the
International Consultative Committee for Telephony and Telegraphy (CCITT), and the
International Standards Organization (ISO).
EIA Standard, EIA-232 (formerly known as RS-232) is a venerable yet still prevalent
serial interface standard. This standard is extensively used by terminals, data sets,
measuring instruments, and controllers for data transmission rates typically up to
115,200 bits per second for transmission cables up to 50 feet in length. EIA-232 is a
single-ended voltage mode transmission system standard that defines data
communication between equipment using alternating pulses which can be in one of
two states - either high (logic 1) or low (logical 0). These states are often called "mark"
(logic 1) or "space" (logic 0). Per EIA, the logical 1 level must be within +3.75 to +25
volts DC, while the logical 0 level must be within -3.75 to -25 volts DC; any other
voltage levels are unacceptable.
EIA-232 is not the only serial interface standard or system. EIA-422, 485 and 20mA
current loop are other long-distance current mode digital communication
standards. These differential voltage or current mode standards are better suited for
longer distance, high speed communications than the single-ended voltage mode
predecessor. Although not a revolutionary concept, the current mode system dates to
the oldest form of binary serial transmission: the telegraph. In this system, a current,
usually 20mA, flows through a single loop to represent a logic level one, and turns off,
"open key" to represent logic zero.
Serial data is typically transmitted among or between devices in an asynchronous
fashion. In asynchronous data transmission, each transmitted character is formed by
using a start bit which signals the beginning of the character before the ASCII code
pattern, and one or two stop bits after the code pattern signaling the end of the
character. The ASCII character is described fully by seven bits with an optional parity
bit in the eighth position for error control. Therefore, each transmitted ASCII character
requires at least ten bits for complete definition. As the communication equipment
receives the asynchronously transmitted characters, the start and stop bits are
stripped off, parity is checked, and the character itself is interpreted and treated
accordingly whether it is alphanumeric data or control information.

"Baud rate" and "bit rate" are two distinct terms used to describe the speed of data
transmission. These terms are often used synonymously and cause much confusion if
not completely understood. The baud is a measurement unit dating back to the days of
Morse Code, and it is defined as the shortest signaling element. In modern

Bulletin MN06204L Issue/Rev. 0.3 (2/23) 5-11

AccuLoad IV Smith Communications Manual

telecommunications language, the data rate is more often specified in bits per second
(bps), because a single change of state in a signal can represent a group of two
or more data bits. If each signal event represents only one bit condition, baud rate
equals bps. Typical asynchronous serial baud rates are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200, 38400, 57.6K, and 115.2K bps. To have an interactive session between two
computing devices, both devices must be transmitting and receiving at the same baud
rate, or there must be an intermediate memory device, called a buffer, that
accommodates the differences in speed. Refer to the AccuLoad.net installation
manual to determine the appropriate baud rate based on cable length for each unique
installation site.

5.2 Ethernet and TCP/IP Communications

The proliferation of personal computing beginning in the 1970s gave rise to the need
to interconnect groups of computers to better share data, communicate to peripheral
devices (printers, modems, etc.) and now interface to instruments. The most popular
of these groups are known as Local Area Networks (LANs). These networks consist of
nodes, where computers, peripherals and instruments are connected to the network,
and interconnecting wire or fiber optic cable to interconnect the nodes. A LAN can
consist of a few nodes up to several hundred but will be confined to a few buildings
within a few thousand meters of one another. Technologies were developed to
establish standard interface hardware as well as secure control of the flow of data on
the LAN. Ethernet emerged as the primary medium for LANs. The Ethernet
technology equipment; interface cards, hubs, switches, and cabling have become
commodity items. Software protocols were developed to standardize sharing and
transfer of files, mail messages, access to peripherals, and access to the internet.
Again, a primary standard has emerged in the TCP/IP protocol. The acronym TCP/IP
comes from two protocols developed for the internet: Transmission Control Protocol
and Internet Protocol.
The AccuLoad IV provides an integral Ethernet host port for networking.
