Messages¶

Observing the traffic on the bus we can see there are different units. These are the address found on the 12 bus :

ADDRESS	UNIT

50	Hi-Mit remote controlleR IDU ?
57	Hi-Mit remote controller

DEVICE DISCOVERY¶

When the Hi-mit interface is looking for devices on H-LINK bus the following messages are sent: (This messages were logged with no device connected on H-LINK bus)

SRC	CTRL	LEN		DSW1 ADDR				CRC
41	0	9	202	160	255	255	241	146

SRC	CTRL	LEN		DSW1 ADDR					CRC
57	3	10	202	160	255	255	0	0	99

AUTODISCOVERY ??¶

From time to time these messages appears on the bus, they are not always grouped together and they are not acknowledged, maybe they are used to report their presence ?

|35|0|10|1|0|1|255|15|20|238| <- UPDATE: VALUE 15 & 20 CHANGE OVER TIME, ARE THEY TEMPERATURE ?
|50|0|9|1|1|1|255|241|6|
|41|0|9|202|160|255|255|241|146|

|35|0|28|1|0|1|255|242|3|34|128|31|0|31|128|18|170|0|0|0|41|41|1|3|241|208|0|171| -> This is a status update but it seems no one requests or acknowledge

ALL MESSAGES¶

Here are reported all the messages captured :

Note: DSW8 ADDR field is the binary encoded value +1
Example:

In the image above DSW8 ADDR is equal to 8+1 = 9

DSW1 field is thebynary encoded value set on the Hi-mit interface
