• If GLASS/MODE 2 or GLASS THICKNESS/MODE 2 is selected, a process using multiple tasks will be performed, as in the multi-task mode.

The following processes are assigned to the respective tasks:

GLASS THICKNESS: Calculates the difference value between TASK1 and TASK2.
TASK 4| Unused

The measurement conditions can be set for each task in this mode.

• Configuration of Task
  • The ZS-HLDC-N performs task processing.
  • The processing units for each task are grouped into 20 units.
  • To refer to the processing unit of TASK N, therefore, add 20×(N-1) to the above processing unit No.

Example: To change the averaging process of TASK2, refer to or set to a parameter with:

• Process unit No.=43+20×(2-1)=63 and
• Data No.=2

FLOWDATA Reference

What is FLOWDATA?

• The ZS-HL-N series implements high speed sampling measurement up to 110us.
• Handling these measurement data with an external device requires reading in a large amount of data.
• The ZS-HL-N series are provided with a mechanism which enables to handle and acquire measurement data by a given bundle.
• This bundle of data is called a FLOWDATA.

How to acquire FLOWDATA

FLOWDATA is batch output if the controller has accepted the command for acquiring a FLOWDATA when data is accumulated for the specified buffer size (max. 1000 data). A device receiving data (such as PC) needs to issue the command before the ZS controller accumulates measurement data for the buffer size.

If the controller has not received the command when measurement data for the buffer size is accumulated in the controller, the past data is overwritten: In this case, it raises an error flag for buffer overflow. A device receiving data (such as PC) needs to check this flag to see if the commands have been issued in time.

Format

After outputting the command for acquiring FLOWDATA, the binary data is output in the following format:

• Header division (4bytes): Data division (4bytes)

Configuration of FLOWDATA

Binary data is used for response data of FLOWDATA to give the highest priority to the speed. Therefore, general purpose communication tools such as HyperTerminal may not be used to receive the data.

Buffer size and buffer intervals

The buffer size of measurement data to be accumulated in the ZS controller and its buffer intervals can be changed. Change the following parameters:

• DATAGET and DATASET commands are used to change and refer to the parameters.

1: ON

3| Buffer intervals| 1 to 65535 (pcs)
4| Buffer size| 1 to 1000 (pcs)

Logging data

Data to be accumulated in the ZS controller can be selected.

• When multi-task mode is OFF
• When GLASS/MODE 2 or GLASS THICKNESSS/MODE 2 is selected for the measurement object

• When a mode other than the above is selected for the measurement object.

• When multi-task mode is ON

D| TASK No.| TASK1 to TASK4 (1)
E| Unused| Always 0
F| Unit states (Input)| Indicates ON/OFF states of various input lines. (2)
G| FLOWDATA stop bit|

• All data are set to 1 if FLOWDATA does not flow over subsequently. (Always set to 1 for one-shot requests)
• All data are set to 0 if FLOWDATA continues to flow over. (Until FLOWDATA is stopped after requested (in succession)

When the decimal info division is 0, the unit of the data is nm. When the decimal info division is 1, the unit of the data is mm

• TASK No.=bit data+1

Example: bit data=10B=2 (dec) indicates TASK3 data.

The input lines are, from the lower bit, assigned to:

In case of ZS

• Input terminal 4 (Unused. Always set to 0.)
• Input terminal 3
• Input terminal 2
• Input terminal 1
• Input terminal 0 (5 inputs in total.)

Data to be received and their states are as follows:

• 00b=Not executed
• 01b=LOW
• 10b=PASS
• 11b=HIGH

The output states are, from the lower bit, assigned to:

In case of ZS

• Output terminal 4 (Busy output)
• Output terminal 3 (Enable output)
• Output terminal 2 (Low output)
• Output terminal 1 (Pass output)
• Output terminal 0 (High output)

(5 outputs in total). States in parenthesis indicate the standard states.

[FLOWDATA setting example]

• DATASET 124 2 1: FLOWDATA accumulation mode ON
• DATASET 124 3 1: 1 buffer interval
• DATASET 124 4 1: 1 buffer size
• DATASAVE: Data save

FLOWDATA

Example of Usage

To give an example, provided below is a procedure to communicate by non- procedural commands using Windows standard tool HyperTerminal.

Start up HyperTerminal

HyperTerminal is located under [Program]-[Accessory]-[Communication].

1. Enter an appropriate project name.
2. Select the COM port connected to the ZS in the Connection Method section.
3. Set the communication conditions.
4. HyperTerminal is started up.

To make the interaction with commands easier, set echo and other functions

1. Open [Property].
2. Select the setting tag, and then ASCII settings.
3. Check the following items, and press OK to complete the setting.

• Change ZS into “RUN” mode.
• Perform non-procedural communication.

1. Input a command, and then press the return key.
2. A returned value responding to the command is returned from the controller.
