Instruction manual

ALTERNATE FORMAT
When the Format message is transmitted from the host to the BIC-II, an AiRanger IV or AiRanger DPL
measurement (MT00) is altered by the BIC-II as follows (until a Reset occurs).
Data ASCII Example
Field Character Description
SOM STX start of message
BIC-II I.D. 1 BIC-II #1 (e.g.) (range = 1 to 8)
MT 00 Message Type 00 (e.g.) (Product Data)
POINT 001 point #1 (e.g.) (range = 000 to 099, dependent upon product)
READING 2758 measurement value (e.g.) (range = 0000 to 9999, no decimal point)
IN SERVICE 1 point #1 is in service (e.g.) (0 = out of service)
NEW READING 0 reading value is old (e.g.) (1 = reading is new)
ALARM ACKN. 1 alarm was acknowledged (e.g.) (0 = alarm not acknowledged)
STATUS PrFSHHFI on priority, fail-safe has expired, Hi Hi alarm, material is filling (e.g.)
possible values: Pr = point is on priority
FS = FailSafe timer has expired
H = High Alarm
L = Low alarm
HH = High-High alarm
LL = Low-Low alarm
FI = material is filling
EOM CR end of message
When the Format and Product Mode messages are transmitted from the host to the BIC-II, a LiquidRanger
measurement message (MT00) is altered by the BIC-II as follows (until a Reset occurs).
