R4DIF08 FAQ
Thank you for your response. I have been using the R4DIF08 for a couple of years now and know how they work. I have hundreds of them in my applications but the 15 that I bought from you is not the same. They look the same and the code to set them up is the same but the upload data I receive is not the same. So if I want to set it up to send data for the input ports 1-8 every 5 Seconds, the data is not the same as with the previous R4DIF08. The Power led also doesn't work with the new bords.
Answer :
Sorry! The old version has been discontinued. Our new version has changed the automatic return data of the input port. This is a more data-efficient mode: one bit represents one input channel. https://youtu.be/bYwQU4JeI80
For example:
01 03 02 00 01 79 84, channel 1 has input.
01 03 02 00 02 39 85, channel 2 has input.
01 03 02 00 04 B9 87 , channel3 has input.
01 03 02 00 08 B9 82 , channel 4 has input.
01 03 02 00 10 B9 88 , channel 5 has input.
01 03 02 00 20 B9 9C , channel 6 has input.
01 03 02 00 40 B9 B4 , channel 7 has input.
01 03 02 00 80 B9 E4 , channel 8 has input.
Good day, yes that is the values i get. Problem is when more than one input at the same time receive an input. Let say channel 1 an 3 has an input at te same time. That is my problem. I will never know what channel will trigger an input. The value will change every time when different inputs trigger at the same time. The old boards worked with an 1 and 0 and when lets say input 2 and 5 has an input it will be 01000100 for example. There will be no way to use the new boards. I'll lose lots of money.
I use these digital outputs with the digital inputs. I use both boards. One for input and one for output on relays. Not sure on the r4dif08 if it has the pins to bridge as on the n4dig08.
They are used in the same way. n4dig08 is a multi-function board. r4dif08 only has input function. You can test n4dig08 first.
The thing is, we invested hundreds of thousands in software, code, applications and molds. We have hundreds of units in the field . Now if something changes that means we have to do everything over again and in time and day we dont have that money to invest in changing everything because of a $4 board. Please is there a way for me to program them to use the old version?
What does it mean if i get 01030200A0B83C?
The number you get is 0XA0, which is converted to binary as 1010000, indicating that there is input on channel 6 and channel 8
I need to reprogram my back end and convert it to binary
yes
