2 Introduction
The interface of the host computer is designed as a minimal serial interface for slow point to point
communication (f ≤ 10 Hz).
Communication between host computer of the chassis dynamometer PLR and dyno controller
VECON occurs to the principle of master-slave.
The MMI AKServer program sends only an acknowledge if it receives a command telegram from
the host computer of the chassis dynamometer.
The program does never activities on the AK-interface itself.
Only ASCII characters will be transmitted between PLR and MMI.
Page: 2-1
3 Configuration
3.1 Communication via RS232
3.1.1 General information
Operation: Full Duplex, No Echo
Type of connector: 9-pin Sub-D, socket
The following settings in the software are according to the customer `s request and will be
carried out by the service engineer.
Baud rate: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200
Transmitting data: 1 start bit

7 or 8 data bits
1 or 2 stop bits
Parity: even/ odd/ none
Handshake: Xon/ Xoff / none
3.1.2 MMI AK - RS232 configuration panel

Note:
Panel displays standard configura-
tion settings.
Page: 3-1
3.2 Communication via TCP/IP

The communication depends on the customer specific network surroundings.
The following settings in the software are according to the customer’s request and will be
ServerName: IP-Address or host name e.g. "192.168.0.1" or "NCKIE072"

ServerPortID = 1234
3.2.2 MMI AK - TCP/IP configuration panel

Note:
All displayed parameter are standard
parameter settings except the server
name.
Page: 3-2
3.3 Communication via IEEE 488

The communication depends on the used interface board and other devices connected to
the IEEE bus.
The AVL ZÖLLNER GmbH suggests to use interface boards from National instruments. The
GPIB software configuration utility from National Instruments is a Windows Control Panel
application program that you can use to view or modify the configuration of your GPIB inter-
face boards. You have to follow the installation instructions
The following settings in the MMI AK software are according to the customer’s request and
will be carried out by the service engineer.
Board_ID: Interface board address e.g. =0

Server_PrimAddr = 1 Primary address =1
Server_SecuAddr = 0 Secondary address =0
3.3.2 MMI AK - GPIB configuration panel

Note:
tion settings.
Page: 3-3
3.4 Communication via DDE

The communication bases on Windows DDE text communication transfer.
The following settings in the software are according to the customer `s request and will be
ServerName = DDE host name e.g. "AKSERVER"

Topic = DDE topic definition "AKTOPIC"
3.4.2 MMI AK - DDE configuration panel

Note:
tion settings.
Page: 3-4
4 Telegrams
Commands, requests and parameter will be transmitted to the controller VECON in form of a
command telegram.
The VECON replies with an acknowledge telegram.
Both types of telegrams will be described as followed:

4.1 Send telegram structure
Start Telegram header Variable Data End

For the format of a telegram it is demanded to use
any alpha numeric character.
3. to 6. Function code The function code will be sent to the controller X
VECON with the 4 function bytes.
The function code consist of:
 4 alpha numeric characters or
 3 alpha numeric characters and 1 blank
The function code can be subdivided into the fol-

lowing groups:
 control commands
 request commands
 parameter commands
7. Blank: Blank X
8. to 9. Channel number:  Over the serial interface more than one unit X
K0 could be addressed. For this reason the length
of the channel number can be K0 ≥ 2 byte
 If only one unit exists, for example chassis dy-
namometer available, K0 must be used accord-
ing to the protocol.
10. Blank:  With data input: X,

 Signs must be specified only in case of nega-
tive values

te will have no effect on the error mes-
sages

5 VECON - AK Commands
5.1 General
Some commands change the content of the long-time memory of the VECON, for example SKAL:
• The data received during the carrying out of the test will be written into a temporary buffer
• After successful carrying out the contents of the long-time storage memory will be overwritten
The advantage of this method is that after a possible command break off defined test values will
be kept in the long-time memory.
5.1.1 Operation instructions

Operation mode: The operation mode is only recognisable with the state request -command
ASTZ.
This is also valid during a running test.
Data telegrams: Data telegrams are always allowed.

By using request commands the actual status of the chassis dynamometer
will be indicated.
Whether a command has been accepted or not can be checked by using a
request command.
If necessary the command must be repeated several times.
Control and para-
meter commands: Control and parameter commands are only possible during the correspond-
ing process.
5.1.2 Physical units

The units for input and output data will be set by the service engineer according to the requests of
the customer. Units in the following text will not be set variably.
Page: 5-8

Transmitting data: 1 start bit

3.1.2 MMI AK - RS232 configuration panel

3.2 Communication via TCP/IP

ServerName: IP-Address or host name e.g. "192.168.0.1" or "NCKIE072"

3.2.2 MMI AK - TCP/IP configuration panel

3.3 Communication via IEEE 488

Board_ID: Interface board address e.g. =0

3.3.2 MMI AK - GPIB configuration panel

3.4 Communication via DDE

3.4.2 MMI AK - DDE configuration panel

Both types of telegrams will be described as followed:

4.1.1 Explanation of single functions

The function code can be subdivided into the fol-

Byte Function Explanation Input for-

4.1.2 Example 1 – Without data input:

Start Telegram header Variable Data End

4.1.3 Example 2 – With data input

Start Telegram header Variable Data End

4.2 Acknowledge telegram structure

Start Telegram header Fixed Data Variable Data End

4.2.1 Explanation of the single functions

????: Instead of a function code as an echo 4 questions marks will be

0: There is no error at the chassis dynamometer

1: . . .9: Errors exist

10. to m. Data  A blank separates different data

Byte Function Explanation

m.+1 or ETX End of text byte

4.3 Acknowledge telegram examples

4.3.1 Example 1 – A regular acknowledge to start the roller locking

Start Telegram header fixed Data End

There is no fault in the acknowledge

4.3.2 Example 2 - Acknowledge to start the roller locking

Start Telegram header fixed Data Variable Data End

Commando fault: NA the control voltage has not been switched on

4.3.3 Example 3 - Acknowledge to store up a vehicle model

Start Telegram header Variable Data End

Start Telegram header fixed Data Variable Data End

4.3.5 Example 4 - Command telegram for constant speed command

Start Telegram header Variable Data End
