CHAPTER 6: RS232 COMMUNICATIONS
Connections for the RS232 serial port are shown in Chapter 4.
1. SERIAL PORT COMMUNICATIONS
1.1. General
The Serial Port Communications command set provides the user with complete control and configuration
of a meter.
All messages sent to and from the meter will consist of the printable set of ASCII characters.
Each message will be terminated with a carriage-return (<cr>) character.
All messages sent to the 770Max will receive a response. The response will consist of the
requested data, an "OK" message, or an error message.
All commands must specify an identifier address (same as the network address). A command
with an address different from that of the unit will be sent over the network. The identifier
address “00” can be used to indicate that the command is designated for the device on the
RS232 port (not another unit on the network).
NOTE: References to a network address are for future capability.
All floating point values use Intel standard format.
1.2. Command Format

The format of all commands is: "axxc…c<cr>".
Where:
"a" is the opcode (upper case letter from A to Z).
"xx" is the network address of the unit (from 00 to FF hexadecimal). This address can be
specified as "00" which indicates the command is for this unit (on the serial port).
"c…c" is the command data.
<cr> is the ASCII carriage-return character.
1.3. Response Format

The format of all responses is: "axx=c…c<cr>".
Where:
"a" is the opcode (upper case letter from A to Z).
"xx" is the network address of the unit (from 01 to FF hexadecimal).
"c…c" is the response data.
<cr> is the ASCII carriage-return character.
The response data will be one of the following types:

1. Command Accepted: if the command is accepted then the response data section will
consist of the message "OK".
2. Command Data: if the command requests data then that information will be returned. The
format of the data depends upon the command type.
3. Command Rejected: if the command is rejected then an error message will be returned with
the format: "ERROR #yy" where "yy" is an error code.
14 RS232 Communications Chapter 6

1.4. Error Codes
The following error codes will be used when a command is rejected (the format is "ERROR
#xx"):
01: invalid opcode.

02: parameter error.
03: checksum error.
04: parity error.
05: unit is not available.
06: command failed.
07: timeout error.
0E: data not available.

CHAPTER 7: MENU TREES
The following menu trees illustrate the general

sequence of settings available in the 770MAX.
However, some low level menu items are
dependent on the type of sensor connected and on
previous menu selections. For example, only a flow
measurement with totalized flow units selected will
show the menu field for setting External Reset.
Also, the model of 770MAX will determine how
many analog outputs and relays are present for
configuration.
The screens below will appear after pressing Menu
only if security has been enabled. Otherwise
pressing Menu accesses the Main Menu directly,
as shown on the following pages.
