SERIAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
8.1
Communication between TX and Personal Computer has been issued by means of
standard serial port RS232 and RS485. Software running on P.C. and firmware built-in TX
microprocessor, transfer data using EBU Universal Encoder Communication Protocol, version 4.0
(EBU UECP).
EBU UECP Standards are:
a) 1 start bit, 8 data bit, 1 stop bit, no parity.
b) Transmission speeds must be one of the following standard values: 75,150,300,600,1200,2400,
4800,9600,19200,38400,57600,115200 bps. Our choice is 2400 bps.
c) General Frame Format:
STA
ADDh ADDl SQC
MFL MSG
0
MSG
1
… … ... MSG
255
CRCh CRCl
STP
STA… … … . Start Byte (FE hex)
ADDh… … ..Address MSB (user set)
ADDl… … ...Address LSB (user set)
SQC… … … .Sequence Counter (frame counter)
MFL… … … Message Field Length (N° of message bytes (0-255) prior to byte-stuffing)
MSG… … … Message (Any value in the range 00-FF hex)
CRCh .… ....Cyclic Redundancy Check MSB (Error check using 16-bit CRC calculation)
CRCl… ...… Cyclic Redundancy Check LSB
STP… … … ..Stop Byte (FF hex)
d) Byte-Stuffing
Byte values FD, FE and FF hex are trapped in the fields “ADD” to “CRC” and transformed
into pair of bytes as shown in following table:
Byte
Resultant byte pair
FD
FE
FF
Transformed into
FD 00
FD 01
FD 02
CRC is applied to bytes ADDh,ADDl,SQC,MFL,MSG.. before byte-
