1. Overview

This section describes the details of the specifications about external output of AE-4020, especially

data format and RS-232C two-way communication protocol and Ethernet

AE-4020 external output can make an output in a format in compliance with ASTM-1394. This

output in the AE-4020 standard format is made in the two-way communication between the device

and PC.

Moreover, AE-4020 is compatible with a conventional device and it can output a data in

AX-4280-compatible format, AM-4290-compatible format (supports AUTION Sticks only) and

MA-4240-compatible format. The output in these compatible format is made in a conventional

unidirectional communication.

(Note) The details of this specification are subject to change or revision according to the version upgrade of ROM

(built-in software) of AE-4020.

3. RS-232C Two-Way Communication Protocol

I f the AE-4020 standard format is selected in an external output, the two-way communication is

made between the device and PC. The two-way communication described herein refers to the action

that a receiver returns a control code to a sender to synchronize mutually when the sender has made

an output (a control code or text data).

Device Transmission

The device transmits if it has a message to be sent.

If the device receives anything other than and after transmitting , the device

performs the same process as receiving .

If the device receives after transmitting , the device enters the transfer phase.

If the device receives after transmitting , the device transmits again after waiting

10 seconds.

If the device does not receive although trying to transmit six times (including the first

time), the device regards the status as trouble after transmitting . (Note)

If the device receives anything other than after transmitting a frame, the device performs the

same process as receiving . (Note)

(Note) The device treats the response after transmitting the frame as , not regarding it as

transmission interruption.

If the device has no more frame to be transmitted when it has received after transmitting the

frame, the device enters the transmission end phase. If the device has any frame to be transmitted, thedevice transmits the next frame.

When the device has transmitted all the frames, the device sends .

after transmitting . (Note)

(Note) The status is regarded as trouble to detect the line breakage (cable disconnection, etc.).

4. Ethernet

The Ethernet communication in our device is made using the Ethernet microcomputer.

4-1. Communication Setting

The Ethernet communication is made through TCP/IP. Set the device in a server mode and the PC in a client

mode.

Set the IP address, subnet address, gateway and DHCP in the service mode. Moreover, in addition to the IP

address, a port number is required when communicating through the TCP/IP protocol. The port number is

fixed to “28000”.

4-2. Ethernet Communication Frame Structure

4-2-1. Frame Structure

Frame structure of the Ethernet communication is a communication text only. The frame structure of the

Ethernet communication is different from that of the RS-232C communication in the following points.

and are not added.

A frame number is not added.

A checksum is not added.

is not added to the end of frame.

For the Ethernet communication, a communication text is divided into some packets in a lower level

communication when it is sent and/or received and any information on the first/last packet or packet number is

added automatically as packet information. Therefore, the communication text does not require ,

and frame number. Also, a checksum is unnecessary because it is added automatically.

This specification describes a higher level communication between the device with the Ethernet

microcomputer and the PC.

The figure above is a simplified communication model. This specification describes “A” in the figure

above.

5. Ethernet Two-Way Communication Protocol

The Ethernet communication is performed using the control codes and .

/ does not mean a correct/wrong response of message (checksum) of the RS-232Ccommunication. I n the Ethernet communication, / refers to “request toaccept”/”request to reject” for a record that the PC receives from the device.

5-1. Communication Control Codes

In the Ethernet communication, a receiver transmits a response code against a request from a sender. Theresponse is made at every record. If the sender receives “request to reject” response, it stops sending amessage.

6-1-2 Maximum Frame Length

The maximum frame length is 247 bytes (including STX, ETB or ETX, checksum, CR and LF). The

communication data section is a maximum of 240 bytes (247 – 7 bytes). If the data length is more than 240

When the number has reached 7, it returns to 0.

ETB 17H The end of transmission block.

ETX 03H The end of text (frame).

CSH Checksum, high order.

CSLNote 1)

Checksum, low order.

CR 0DH Carriage return.

LF 0AH Line feed.

An appropriate value (AB) is specified to a checksum. For how to calculate the checksum, refer

to Note 1) stated below.

Note 1) Calculation of checksum

Add up everything after STX including EXT (or ETB), divide the result of addition by 256 and then express

the remainder in a two-digit hexadecimal number. Checksum is the first character (CSH) and the second

character (CSL) of the hexadecimal number.

[Example] Add up everything to ETX after STX. Assuming that the result of addition is 1000, “E” (45H)

and “8” (38H) are obtained as CSH and CSL, respectively, from “1000 mod 256 = 232 = E8H”.

Message end record

Each record consists of several fields. The content of the record is defined by a record type. The number of

fields in a record is fixed at every record type. Any data in a field is variable (the smallest size is 0 by default).

Every field is delimited by a field delimiter. A blank field is also delimited by a field delimiter, so we can see

the field is blank. (The last field may not be delimited by a field delimiter.)

(Note 1) A result record is appended per measurement item, therefore, several result records are appended to

one measurement result. The number of result records varies depending on test strip.

7. AX-4280-Compatible Format

7-1. Compatibility with SA-4250, AX-4280 and AJ-4270 Standard Format

AX-4280-compatible format has some compatibility with the SA-4250 and AX-4280 standard formats, but it is

slightly different from them. For example, because there is no rack number nor port number in AJ-4270 and

AE-4020 and these are not equipped with an independent specific gravity/turbidity measurement unit, AJ-4270

and AE-4020 do not output the concrete value for those items (a blank value or “–” is output). In measurement

with the test strip AUTION Sticks, the item “S. G.” can be measured when a specific test strip (10EA, 9EA) is

used. For the SA-4250 and AX-4280 formats, the measurement result of specific gravity meter is output in the

specific gravity area of the fourth block. On the other hand, for the AX-4280-compatible format, “S. G.” is

output as the measurement result of the item (in either the second or third block), otherwise the measurement

result of specific gravity meter is output in the specific gravity area of the fourth block. You can select any of

these two types of output.

The table below shows the major differences between the SA-4250 format and the AX-4280-compatible

format.

Difference AX-4280 Format AX-4280-Compatible Format

Device name “ A X-4280€35 “ A E-4020€35

Port number Uses a rack number and portnumber.

The value is blank.

The number ofcharacters for test stripname

10 characters 7 characters and 3 spaces

Temperature Value (00 to 99) Value (0 to 55)

Output of the item “S.G.” in the second andthird blocks

Disabled “Enable” or “Disable” can beselected in the setting.

Output of the “S. G.” (Specific Gravity) area in

the fourth block

Outputs the measurementresult of specific gravity

meter.

“Enable” or “Disable” can beselected in the setting. A blank is

output if“Disable

” is selected. Turbidity The measurement result of

turbidity meter is output tothe measurement results 1 to12.

Nil

(Note) To maintain the compatibility with SA-4250, the measurement number of control measurement is not

output. (A blank is output for a sample number.)

7-2. Block Configuration

First block

(Sample information) *

Second block

(Measurement result)

*

Third block

(Measurement result)

*

Fourth block

(Measurement result ofspecific gravity and color

tone)

*

* Time gap (Data Time Out: 0.5 seconds by default)

Time gap is set also before the next data transmission.

7-3. Ticket-Printer-Compatible Format

The data configuration is the same as that of the AX-4280-compatible format. However, “AJ-4270” is output

because the ticket printer recognizes the device name.
