Introduction

Overview

This manual describes the setup and operation of the Touchpoint 4 Serial

Communication protocol.

Your Touchpoint 4 gas detector controller is equipped with a serial remote device

communication port. With this communication port, you can monitor the Touchpoint 4

system’soperationwithmasterfromaremotelocation.Itwillalsoallowyoutogather

gas concentration data for analysis or reports.

The Touchpoint 4 gas detector controller accepts commands and issues responses to

any valid command it receives. The Touchpoint 4 gas detector controller is always the

“slave”device,andtheremoteequipmentisthe“master”device.Themastercanbea

personal computer (PC), a programmable logic controller (PLC), or other device capable

ofRS-485serialcommunications.Thiscongurationrequiresa“master”device.

Therefore, one Touchpoint 4 gas detector controller will not communicate directly with

another Touchpoint 4 gas detector controller. However, one master can be used to

communicate with more than one Touchpoint4 gas detector controllers on a two-wire

RS-485 bus.

The Touchpoint 4 gas detector controller supports multiple baud rates. These user

selectableratesare1200,2400,4800,9600,and19,200.Additionalportsettingsare

8-bit, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

TheslaveisidentiedbyanaddressconguredintotheTouchpoint4gasdetector

controller (selectable 1-16). Each Touchpoint4 gas detector controller on an RS-485

network must have a unique address.

Themasterisalwaysataddress0.EachTouchpoint4gasdetectorcontrollerwill

respond to a signal directed to it from the master. To prevent a collision of messages, the

master must avoid transmitting any information after a packet until the slave responds.

Touchpoint4willrespondin500ms.

Glossary

The following terms are used in this manual:

Handshake: The process of acknowledging a communication has been received.

The Touchpoint4 gas detector controller uses ACK/NAK responses.

Hexadecimal: A type of numbering system with a base of 16. In this numerical system,

thelettersAthroughFrepresentsnumbers10through15respectively.Forexample,

3Finhexadecimalrepresents63indecimal.Theshortenedversionoftheword

hexadecimalisgenerally"Hex",asin"Hex3F.""0x"isthenotationusedinthismanual

forhexadecimal(e.g.0x3F).

Instrument: This term is used to refer to the Touchpoint4 gas detector controller.

Master: A computer or PLC that communicates with slaves using the

Touchpoint4 protocol.

Packet: A block of information that is passed between the master and the slave.

A packet is made from many bytes of information.

Protocol: The manner in which data is transferred and the format used for the transfer.

Touchpoint4 protocol refers to the packets of transferred data the Touchpoint4

instrument recognizes.

Slave: Touchpoint4 gas detector controller. A network may have several slaves.

The time-out period of 1 second is recommended for this protocol. In fact, the period

fromrequesttransmissiontoresponsereceptionisnotmorethan500ms.

Touchpoint 4 Serial Communication Protocol Issue 1 09/07

Communication Port

Access to the Touchpoint4 protocol is through the terminal block on the common

module of Touchpoint4 gas detector controller. This port is designed for bidirectional

communications between the Touchpoint4 instrument and your master.

Signals present at the port conform to RS-485 specifications. The pin-out specifications

are described in the chapter connectors pin-out.

Address Setting Procedure

After the networking cabling has been connected to the slave, the slave must be

configured to communicate. Baud rate and address are selectable. Configuration is

performed with the following sequence:

1. Access the menu system and select the RS485 communication link

settings menu option. Press UP/DOWN, the icon flashes.

 2. PressOK,thecontroller’scurrentaddressisdisplayed.

3. Use UP/DOWN to change the address (between 1 and 16 available).

4. Press OK to accept the change.

The display changes to display the current baud rate.

 5. UseUP/DOWNtochangethebaudrate(1200,2400,4800,9600,

  19200available).

6. Press OK to accept the change.

Please refer to the Technical Manual for more details.

Protocol Specics

Theprotocolhasbeendesignedforflexibilityandefficiency.Thisbyte-wiseprotocol

communicates information by transferring bytes of data back and forth between master

and slave. A group of bytes for each communication is called a packet.

The master and slave(s) transfer information via data packets. These packets will always

contain bytes to start communication, an address, a length, a command, one or more

data and a checksum.

Additional optional variable-length data bytes or optional parameters can also be sent

or received. This section is a brief overview of the protocol specifics.

Packet Length

Just as all words are not the same length (number of letters), packets may also vary in

length. In this protocol, the length of command and data field is put before command

fieldinthepacket.Yourdatacontaining"0x42,0x41,0x44"willthenbecome“0x03,

0x42,0x41,0x44”.

Touchpoint 4 Serial Communication Protocol Issue 1 09/07

Checksum

During transmission of the packet, an error could change the value of the data.

Supposeinourexample,forinstance,thepacket0x03,0x42,0x41,0x44isactually

0x03,0x42,0x30,0x44.Howcanyoudeterminethatthenumbersyougetarethesame

as the numbers sent?

Touchpoint4serialcommunicationprotocolusesaXORcheck-characterasamethodof

assigning a value to the packet to check if any of bytes have been modified.

IfallthedatabytesareXOR-edtogetherandthischeckmadeintoabyte,thisbyte

could be called a checksum character. For the Touchpoint4, the checksum is the bit-

wiseXORresultofallthebytesinthepacket.Inourexample,thepacketis0x03,

0x42,0x41,0x44.Forthispacket,theXORresult0x44ofallthebytesaddedtothe

checksummustbezero(0).Anyotherresultindicatesthereisanerrorwiththedata.

It is usually important for the master to thoroughly check data coming from the slave

for validity before accepting it. This is because in many installations, an alarm from the

Touchpoint4 indicates severe danger to life and property. The master's determination

thatanalarmexistsmaystimulateavigorousandpossiblyexpensivehumanresponse.

Therefore it is important to avoid false alarms. The master should reject any packets

that contain an invalid start character, an invalid address, an invalid length byte or

an invalid checksum. Otherwise the probability of an evacuation because of simple

network noise is unnecessarily large.

The actual data in the packet is interpreted in a somewhat different manner from our

previousexamples.Boththemasterandtheslavecommunicateusingthepacket

format in Figure 2. It contains a start code, an address, a length, a command and its

associateddata,andachecksum.Thestartcodeisfixed.Theaddressistheslave

specificargumentsorvaluestobeinterpreted.ThechecksumisXORresultofall

previous bytes.

ACK/NAK Handshake

Each slave (Touchpoint4) uses a handshake scheme between itself and the master.

The simplest response back from the instrument is called an ACK (an abbreviation for

ACKnowledge).Whentheslavereceivesthehandshakecommand(0X40)packetfrom

themaster,itwillsendbackanACKresponse.TheACKresponsewillbe0x01followed

bythehandshakecommand0x40(see Handshake command).

If however, the checksum does not match, the slave will send a NAK (an abbreviation

for Negative AcKnowledge). A NAK indicates that a data packet has been received, but

the checksum did not match with the packet data.

Themastermaysendtherequestagain.AnexampleofanACKpacketis0x7F,0x01,

Generic Responses

There are four generic responses. Each of these response packets is 6 bytes, and

contains the start byte, address, length, command code, ACK/NAK code and

Checksum. All ACK/NAK code is sent following the command code in the last

received packet.

ACK - 0x01

This is used for an acknowledgement of the handshake command.

NAK - 0x21

This is used for a negative acknowledgement of packet if the last received packet had

an incorrect checksum.

Bad Packet - 0x66

This is sent to the master when the start byte or length in the last received packet

is incorrect.

Unknown CMD –0x67

This response is sent by the slave when a command is not recognized.
