Torque Meter Frequently Asked Questions
Question number FAQ-1304
TS-2600 RS-232C command
I will explain RS-232C. For questions regarding parameter settings, please refer to the section "Configuration Procedure Document"; for information on N-0 settings, please refer to "How to Set N-0 Using Terminal Mode."
1. Overview
RS-232C is a serial communication interface standardized by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA). The RS-232C interface of this device enables data reading and writing of N-0 correction values through suitable programs on mini-computers or personal computers. If there is a computer that supports terminal emulation or VT-100 terminal emulation, it is possible to write the zero correction value/N-0 correction value in the terminal mode of this device.
2. Specifications

3. How to connect to the computer.
Cable wiring
If external devices use control signals, those control signals will be ignored in the cable wiring or in the program.
Cable Wiring Example
Compatible connector type (signal cable side): R03-PB3M (manufactured by Tajimi Wireless Co.）＜sold separately＞
Basic connection (when communicating using only TxD and RxD signal lines)
4. Explanation of Signals
| signal name | Function | Input and output |
|---|---|---|
| TxD（BA） | transmission data | Output |
| RxD（BB） | received data | input |
| RTS（CA） | send request | Output |
| CTS（CB） | Sendable | input |
| SG（AB） | Signal grounding | − |
(1) TxD (Transmit Data)
The transmit data output signal is usually in the MARK state (-9 V). +9 V level... 0 (SPACE)
-9 V level... 1 (MARK)
(2) RxD (Receive Data)
This is the input signal for the transmitted data.
+9 V level ... 0 (space)
-9 V level ... 1 (mark)
(3) SG (Signal Ground)
It is the common for signals.
5. Function
Writing
| zero correction value of torque | 1 point each for CW and CCW |
|---|---|
| N-0 correction value | 5 points each for CW and CCW. |
| Auto Zero | Zero correction setting |
■ Reading out
| torque measurement value | Average value of the measurement gate time set in parameter settings 1-7/1-8. |
|---|---|
| rotational measurement value | Average value of the measurement gate time set in parameter settings 1-7/1-8. |
| set value | Range factor, P/R, decimal point, torque zero correction value (CW/CCW), N-0 correction value (CW/CCW), rotation direction, parameter setting details. |
| signal situation | Torque signal input, rotation signal input, READY, trigger |
6. List of Commands
The command terminator uses CR (0DH) or LF (0AH), and output from the TS-2600 is appended with CR+LF. Output can be temporarily paused with Xoff (ˆS: 13H) and resumed with Xon (ˆQ: 11H).
Data reading
| RTD （Read Torque Data） | We will read the torque display value. |
|---|---|
| RRD （Read Revo Data） | Perform reading of the rotational display value. |
| RDD （Read Display Data） | The torque display value and rotation display value will be output separated by a comma. |
| RLO （Read Logging On） | The torque display value and rotation display value are separated by "," and are continuously output every gate time until the "RLF " command is received. |
| RLF （Read Logging off） | "Stops continuous output by the 'RLO' command." |
Writing of setting values.
Writing the settings cannot be performed unless the LOCK switch on the front panel is in the UNLOCK position.| STZn ，d （Set Torque Zero） | n = 0 : CW , 1 : CCW d = - 1 , 0 ~ 99999 Writes the zero correction value of torque. When d = - 1, it has the same function as the front panel TRQ ZERO switch. |
|---|---|
| STNn ，r（P1）, t（P1）, r（P2）, t（P2）, r（P3）, t（P3）, r（P4）, t（P4）, r（P5）, t（P5）, （Set Torque N-0） | n = 0: CW, 1: CCW r (P1 ~ P5) = 0 ~ 99999 (Rotation data for each point r/min) t (P1 ~ P5) = 0 ~ ±9999 (Torque data for each point) N-0 correction value will be written. If the data is valid, it will be sorted in ascending order of rotation values, and the N-0 table will be calculated. (The correction will be effective if the N-0 switch is ON.) |
| SBD （Set Backup Data） | Writing to the full backup memory will be performed. |
