    The document provides instructions for connecting and operating the GB 130 antenna positioning control unit remotely via a host such as a PC. It can connect using either RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 serial interfaces. The control unit must be switched to remote mode and only one interface can be used at a time. Telegrams sent to and received from the control unit follow defined formats and notations for commands, responses, checksums and other data. Commands allow controlling and querying the position and status of the antenna rotators.

    GB 130

    Manual

    4.2 Remote Control


    The antenna-positioning Control Unit GB 130 is to be connected to the host as shown in the following figures. At the host end, the hardware handshake may have to be bypassed under some circumstances (connection from RTS to CTS and from DSR to DTR). To allow operation via the host, the control unit has to be switched to remote mode via the keyboard. (see section 2.1.7). The serial interfaces cannot be operated at the same time. Interface connectors that are not used should not be connected, but if they are connected, only the quiescent level of the corresponding interface is allowed.

    GB 130 4.2.4 Checksum

    Manual

    The checksum <CRC> contained in all telegrams is formed by XOR linking of all characters of the data telegram up to and including <CR>. The hex characters of the checksum are transmitted as ASCII characters. Example: Telegram: Character codes: C0,0<CR> C 0 , 0 <CR> 43h 30h 2Ch 30h 0Dh 62h C0,0<CR>62

    XOR linking (checksum): Complete telegram:

    4.2.5 Data Telegrams


    The data telegrams received by the GB 130 have the following structure: <command><CR><CRC> The telegram sent by the GB 130 has one of two response formats depending on the <command>:

    A B
    Command A

    <Q><response><CR><CRC>

    This format will be used if the command received waits for a response from the GB 130. This format will be used if a response from the GB 130 is not expected.

    <Q><CRC>

    Table 12: Response formats The commands are listed in the following table:
    Description Stop all rotators. Stop axis <axis> of rotator <no>. Program nominal position. Move to nominal position. Move all rotators to parking position. Confirm error message. Query of version Query of limit switch Response format B B B B B B A A :<text> :<xx> <xx> is the sum of: 1: limit switch for right azimuth 2: limit switch for left azimuth 4: limit switch for upper elevation 8: limit switch for lower elevation :xxx.x The current angle will be returned.
