3 1. INTRODUCTION This document is intended to specify the requirements of the standard LomaLink. This is a feature that enables : data to be requested from Loma equipment. data to be sent to Loma equipment. remote control of Loma equipment. (Although not all of these are available on all Loma equipment) All of which can be done using a remote PC, PLC, Terminal or Factory Computer. The document provides sufficient information for a programmer to successfully interface computer equipment to Loma devices. 2. LOMA SERIAL INTERFACE The serial interface will be based on a three-layer master-slave system, where the Loma equipment will always be the slave. The three layer structure comprises:- Physical Layer. Data Link Layer. Application Layer. Each of these areas will be considered in turn - starting with the Physical layer. Page 3 of 32

4 3. PHYSICAL LAYER 3.1 DEFINITION The physical layer is the hardware and software connection between the two devices which wish to communicate. 3.2 REQUIREMENT In this case it will be implemented using a three wire RS232 serial connection, comprising Tx, Rx and Signal Gnd. (Please note that RS 422 and 20 Ma loop are also available). One implication of this is that there will be no hardware handshaking provided by Loma equipment. The following options are available and can be set up via the serial link menu as for any other serial option (refer to the manual supplied with your equipment for full details of the set up procedure) BAUD RATE DATA BITS - 8. STOP BITS - 1. PARITY XON/XOFF - NONE. - OFF. Note: with RS232 one start bit is implied. Page 4 of 32

5 4. DATA LINK LAYER 4.1 DEFINITION The data link layer establishes an error free point to point communications path between two systems connected on the physical layer and adds the data link layer protocol to the data packages for transmission. The data link layer checks the integrity of received messages and the health of the physical layer indicating all problems to the application layer. 4.2 REQUIREMENT To implement the data link layer a Loma protocol will be used which will be a simple send-andwait ARQ (automatic repeat request) type. The layout of the Loma data packet is shown below, and explained in the flow diagram at the end of this section. All fields except the <info...> field are one byte in length. where: <STX><info...><ETX><CHECKSUM> <STX> - ASCII start of text character (02 hex). <info...> - the message. Note: the message fields are separated with the control character <US> <ETX> - ASCII end of text character (03 hex). <CHECKSUM> - Twos complement of the 8 bit sum of the message (NOTE: the sum does not include the start of text or end of text characters). Note that a checksum of 00 hex is not permissible. If the checksum of the data equals 00 hex, then 1 should be added to make it 01 hex. e.g. If the message characters were <STX><3>< ><0><0><T><E><S><T><US><ETX><CHKSUM>, the ASCII values in HEX would be: 02,33,20,30,30,54,45,53,54,1F,03,<CHKSUM>. The sum of all the characters excluding the STX and ETX i.e F = 212H. As only the least 8 bits of the sum are used, the checksum is the two s complement of 12H or binary i.e = or 0EEH. As with all serial protocols there are two distinct modes of operation - receiving and transmitting. These will be specified separately RECEIVING 1. Wait for a period specified by the application layer (forever in the case of slave Loma equipment) for an STX character dumping all other characters that are received. 2. Once STX has been received put all subsequent characters into a buffer until ETX is received. 3. When ETX is received wait for the checksum byte. 4. Calculate the twos complement checksum (in 8 bits) of the data received and compare this with the checksum received. (Note that if the calculated checksum of the data is 00 hex, a 1 should be added before comparison). Page 5 of 32

6 5. If the checksums match, transmit the ASCII ACK character. Reception is complete. 6. If the checksums did not match, transmit the ASCII NAK character. Reception is complete TRANSMITTING 1. Format the data into a Loma message packet and transmit it. 2. Wait for a time out of 2 seconds to receive an ACK character. 3. If an ACK is received in time then transmission is complete. 4. If a NAK character is received the time out will be reset and the message will be re-transmitted until three NAK characters have been received. At this point the data link layer will signal the application layer with the message LINK CORRUPTION. 5. If any other character is received it will be dumped but the time out will be reset. 6. If no characters are received in the 2 seconds allowed, then the message will be re-transmitted until three time-outs have occurred at which point the data link layer will signal the application layer with the message LINK FAILED.

9 5. APPLICATION LAYER 5.1 DEFINITION The application layer is the interface between the system software and the data link layer. It is responsible for creating the messages to transmit, for interpreting the messages received and handling any error conditions indicated by the data link layer. 5.2 REQUIREMENT The Loma application layer is implemented as a slave. This means that the Loma application layer will only create and transmit a message in response to an error free message being received from the data link layer, and that it will instruct the data link layer to wait forever for a message. This should not be allowed to happen on the master. The Loma application layer will recognise three types of message and transmit one of two types in response. The format of these messages is as follows: Messages RECEIVED by the Loma device: <msg type> <command no> <product no> COMMANDS 0 00-FF 000-FFF <msg type> <data set no> <product no> REQUESTS 1 00-FF 000-FFF <msg type> <data set no> <product no> <data set info...> CHANGES 2 00-FF 000-FFF Messages TRANSMITTED by the Loma device: <msg type> <data set no> DATA 3 00-FF 0-F <msg type> <data set no> <result> <data set info...> <result> or <command no> CONFIRM 4 00-FF 0-F Note that all message types, data set/command numbers and product numbers that are transmitted to and from the Loma device are in "ASCII HEX". For example, product number ten is denoted as 00A Hex. However, all information transferred is in straight ASCII for ease of understanding. Refer to the Appendices for more information. The Loma application layer is designed to be robust in plant conditions, whilst being kept as simple as possible. However, it may be helpful to read the following description in association with the flow diagram at the end of this section. 1. Wait forever for a message from the link layer. 2. On receipt of a message from the link layer the first two fields will be checked to make sure they are valid. 3. If the msg type field is not valid, INVALID MSG TYPE will be logged in the service log and the application layer will return to step 1 without sending a response. Page 9 of 32

10 5.2.1 COMMANDS 4. If message type is a command and the command no. is valid it will be executed and the response checked to see if it has been successful. 5. If the command was not valid, UNKNOWN COMMAND No. will be logged in the service log and a confirm message for this command will be transmitted, with the result field set to 7 (indicating UNKNOWN COMMAND No.). 6. If the actioning of the command failed, a confirm message for this command will be transmitted with the result field set to 9 (indicating COMMAND FAILED - application specific). 7. If the command succeeded a confirm message for this command will be transmitted with the result field set to zero indicating success REQUESTS 8. If message type is a request and the requested data set no. is valid then the data will be collected into a buffer, formatted, and the system response checked to see if it has been successful. 9. If the requested data set no. is not valid, UNKNOWN DATA SET will be logged in the service log. A data message for this request will be transmitted with the result field set to 8 (indicating UNKNOWN DATA SET). 10. If the actioning of the request failed, a data message for this request will be transmitted with the result field set to 0xA (indicating REQUEST FAILED - application specific) and no data present. 11. If the requested data set is valid a data message will be transmitted for this data set with the result field set to zero indicating success CHANGES 12. If the message type is a change, and the data set no. to be changed is valid, the data will be copied to memory and the system response checked to see if it has been successful. 13. If the Data Set change is not valid, UNKNOWN DATA SET will be logged in the service log, and a confirm message for this change will be transmitted with the result field set to 8 (indicating UNKNOWN DATA SET). 14. If the change failed, a confirm message for this change will be transmitted with the result field set to 11 (indicating CHANGE FAILED - application specific). 15. If the change succeeded a confirm message for this change will be transmitted with the result field set to zero indicating success. 16. In all cases where a response message is required it will be passed to the data link layer for transmission. 17. If the data link layer returns LINK CORRUPTED, then the system fault LINK CORRUPTED is logged and the application layer returns to step 1. Page 10 of 32

11 5.2.3 CHANGES 18. If the data link layer returns LINK FAILED, then the system fault LINK FAILED will be logged and the application layer returns to step If the data link layer returns HEALTHY, transmission is complete and the application layer returns to step 1. Page 11 of 32

13 6. LOMALINK DETAILS LomaLink consists of a number of commands, requests and changes. As described earlier in this document, the Loma equipment is a slave to a remote device, which is considered the master. Once enabled therefore the Loma system will not send anything asynchronously (i.e. without waiting for a stimulus). Remote control cannot be used with the ISC, Tracker, PVS and Reject Confirmation features. 6.1 COMMANDS, type no 0 The following table details the COMMANDS that are available. No Name Action resulting from COMMAND 00 ASK FOR REMOTE CONTROL (Only available on the ISC, IQ, IQ2, IQ3, Two Line 6000, Two Line 7000 Integrated Combo & AS Series Checkweighers) If the machine is not under REMOTE CONTROL then put the machine into REMOTE CONTROL mode and display an "Under Remote Control" message on the User Interface. If machine is already under REMOTE CONTROL no action is taken. Time delay of at least 100 msec before sending further messages. NOTE: Once REMOTE CONTROL is taken, the Loma Device expects to see a message (command, request or change) every 15 seconds to indicate the hosts wish to retain REMOTE CONTROL. It is recommended that the host sends a message every 10 seconds. If the host does not need to send a particular message at the required time then it is recommended that the ASK FOR REMOTE CONTROL command be sent. 01 RELINQUISH REMOTE CONTROL (Only available on the ISC, IQ, IQ2, IQ3, Two Line 6000, Two Line 7000 Integrated Combo & AS Series Checkweighers) 02 ENTER RUN (Only available on the ISC, IQ, IQ2, IQ3, Two Line 6000, Two Line 7000 Integrated Combo & AS Series Checkweighers) 03 EXIT RUN (Only available on the ISC, IQ, IQ2, IQ3, Two Line 6000, Two Line 7000 Integrated Combo & AS Series Checkweighers) If the machine does not receive a message after 15 seconds since the last message it will return to LOCAL CONTROL. If the machine is under REMOTE CONTROL, it will return to LOCAL CONTROL and the display will be restored to its previous state. If the machine is already under LOCAL CONTROL no action is taken. If the machine is not in run mode, enter run, print necessary reports and set the display to the run menu. If the system is unable to go into run load the result field with a flag indicating why (see Appendix A). If the machine is in run mode, exit run, print necessary reports and set display to 'main' menu. If the system is not in run, no action is taken but the CONFIRM message result field is loaded with the COMMAND FAILED return code. The product number field in this COMMAND has no effect and should be set to ZERO. Page 13 of 32
