INTRODUCTION
Chapter 6. Meter Communications Protocol
The UART interface is used to communicate with the upper computer (MCU or PC). Via
the UART interface, the upper computer reads the measured parameters of the power
grid, and may also send system parameters and calibration parameters to target board
as well.
The communication interface is a bidirectional interface based on UART, using
master/slave half-duplex mode. The baud rate is 19,200 bps, with 1 start bit, 8 data bits
and 1 stop bit. Communication is done by frames with non-fixed-length frame structure,
definition of which is shonw in Table 6-1. Communication protocol is specified in
master-slave structure. The system in this design is the slave, and the upper computer
is the master. The master sends commands to the slave, and the slave responds to the
master.
UART communication uses half-duplex mode. The data format is 8-1-1 and the rate is
19,200 bps. The PC is the host computer, and the target board is the slave.
There are 14 command strings that the meter uses. These command strings are
defined in Table 6-1
