ProMaster 2500 User Manual E-1

Computer Remote Control

The Computer Remote Control (CRC) commands are used by TaskLink

to control the operation of the 2500. This information is included in the

manual to allow you to write a remote computer software program

(referred to as a driver) to control the operation of the ProMaster 2500.

The CRC driver issues commands in the format required by the 2500 and

sends these commands to the 2500 to execute. The 2500 performs the

handling and programming operation and then returns a response

character that indicates status or returns requested data. The driver

interprets this response, determines on the next action, and generates

messages and operator prompts.

The complete set of ProMaster 2500 computer remote control commands

are divided in this chapter into three groups of related commands. Each

has a slightly different set of requirements described in the appropriate

section. These groups are:

•

Handler Computer Remote Control Commands

—Set of commands

controlling the

handling

of devices from the input tube, into the

programming module, through label application, and releasing the

device into the output tube.

•

Labeler Hex Format Commands

—Control the specific characteristics

of text on the

label

•

Programming Electronics Remote Control Commands—

Set of

commands to control the

programming

of devices in the

programming module.

Handler Computer Remote Control

This section lists commands that specifically affect the device handling

functions of the 2500. It includes the following information:

•

Handler Remote Command Set

— Lists the available handler CRC

commands. A command summary, which lists commands,

descriptions, and the 2500’s response, precedes the complete list.

•

Handler Remote Error Codes

— Lists the handler error codes that

may be returned while the 2500 is being operated in computer remote

mode.

System Setup

The 2500 handler and labeler controllers receive CRC commands and

send responses to the host computer through the RS-232C port labeled

“Remote RS232” on the back of the 2500. This is the only port that will

respond to the handler or labeler CRC commands listed in this section.

To ensure correct operation of the Remote port with the host computer,

set the parameters for the Remote port according to the host computer

requirements.

Note: The default baud rate for computer remote mode is 9600.

ProMaster 2500 User Manual E-3

Remote Mode

Command Set

All remote commands begin with an @ symbol followed by a two-digit

number, with the exception of the reset command (!) and the devices

labeled command (#). After the command is issued, the 2500 responds

with an R followed by two to four ASCII digits and a CR-LF, except in the

case of the Exit Remote and Reset commands, when no response is

returned.

Note: CR-LF means Carriage Return and Line Feed (0D hex and 0A hex). A

CR-LF is sent after every response from the 2500.

All numbers are in decimal, with the individual digits represented in

ASCII, except for the Escape character in the transparent mode command.
