ROLAND M-5000 (06) PDF SUMMARY:
Q: How do you connect the control computer to the M-5000 using an RS-232C cable?
A: To connect the control computer to the M-5000, you must first power off both the M-5000 and the computer. Then, use an RS-232C cable to connect the RS-232C connector of your computer to the RS-232C connector located on the back of the M-5000.
Q: What are the necessary connections for the M-5000 to function via RS-232C?
A: For the M-5000 to function, the three pins RXD, TXD, and GND must be connected. The pin connections are as follows:
- Computer RXD (pin 2) to M-5000 RXD (pin 2)
- Computer TXD (pin 3) to M-5000 TXD (pin 3)
- Computer GND (pin 5) to M-5000 GND (pin 5)
Q: What are the communication settings required for the control computer when using the RS-232C interface?
A: The control computer’s communication settings should be configured as follows:
- Communication method: Synchronous (asynchronous), full-duplex
- Communication speed: 4800bps, 9600bps, 14400bps, 31250bps, 38400bps, 57600bps, or 115200bps (must match the M-5000 setting)
- Parity: none
- Data length: 8bit
- Stop bit: 1bit
- Code set: ASCII
- XonXoff: on
Q: How do you set the communication speed on the M-5000 when using the RS-232C interface?
A: The M-5000’s default communication speed is set to 115,200 bps. If using RS-232C, you need to set the M-5000’s communication speed to match the setting of the computer.
Q: What are the steps to set up the RS-232C connection between the control computer and the M-5000?
A: Follow these steps to set up the RS-232C connection:
- Connect the control computer using an RS-232C cable.
- Power up the computer that will be controlling the M-5000.
- Make communication settings on the control computer.
- Make communication settings on the M-5000.
- Start operating the M-5000, data transmission between the computer and the M-5000 will begin.
Q: What are the Telnet server specifications for the M-5000?
A: The M-5000’s Telnet server specifications are as follows:
- Connector: LAN connector
- TCP port: 8023
- Control Mode: Character mode (character-at-a-time mode)
- Echo Control: Remote echo
- Termination Key: Processing reception CR, LF or CR-LF; Processing transmission CR-LF
Q: What are the network connection requirements for using Telnet to control the M-5000?
A: The computer and the M-5000 must be connected on the same network.
Q: What should you do if the network traffic where the M-5000 is connected is too busy?
A: If the network traffic where the M-5000 is connected is too busy and the unit cannot operate properly, take the following counter measures:
- Separate the network for the M-5000 control from the others.
- Decrease the traffic amount of broadcast packets.
- Decrease the traffic amount addressed to the M-5000 unit like PING.
Q: What are the methods to set the M-5000’s IP address?
A: You can set the M-5000’s IP address using one of the following methods:
- Use a fixed IP address
- Use DHCP
Q: How do you set the M-5000’s LAN using a fixed IP address?
A: When using a fixed IP address, set the M-5000’s LAN as follows:
- CONFIGURE: MANUALLY
- IP ADDRESS: As necessary (follow the network to connect)
- SUBNET MASK: As necessary (follow the network to connect)
Q: How do you set the M-5000’s LAN using DHCP?
A: When using DHCP, set the M-5000’s LAN as follows:
- CONFIGURE: USING DHCP
Q: What should you check if the network cannot be connected properly?
A: If the network cannot be connected properly, check the following:
- Check that the IP address is not overlapped by another device.
- Check that the subnet mask and gateway settings are properly set.
- Check that firewall or other securities are properly set on the computer.
Q: How do the M-5000 and the control computer communicate?
A: The M-5000 and the control computer communicate via commands.
Q: What needs to be converted when using Telnet commands instead of RS-232C commands?
A: When using Telnet, the control codes (stx, ack) of the RS-232C commands should be converted as follows:
- stx (0x02): Delete
- ack (0x06): Convert to the text “OK”
Q: What is the general syntax for commands?
A: In general, the command syntax is an ASCII string consisting of “stx” and “three uppercase letters” followed by a “;” (semicolon). The three letters indicate the type of command.
Q: What is “stx” in the command syntax?
A: “stx” is the name of the signal in ASCII code (code number 02H in hexadecimal); it is a control code that indicates the beginning of a command.
Q: What is the purpose of the semicolon (;) in the command syntax?
A: The semicolon (;) code lets the M-5000 detect the end of the command.
Q: What are the two types of communication protocols between the control computer and the M-5000?
A: The two types of communication protocols are: * One for specifying an operation or setting for the M-5000, which corresponds to “Control Commands”. * One for checking the status of a setting in the M-5000, which corresponds to “Request Commands”.
Q: What is the procedure for control commands?
A: The procedure for control commands is as follows:
- The computer transmits a command to the M-5000 using the format stx + command.
- The M-5000 will output “ack” if the command was received correctly, or an ERR command in case of invalid reception.
Q: What does “ack” signify?
A: “ack” is the ASCII code name of the control code (06H in hexadecimal) acknowledging successful reception.
Q: What does invalid reception mean?
A: Invalid reception corresponds to cases in which the syntax of the received command was incorrect.
Q: What is the procedure for request commands?
A: The procedure for request commands is as follows:
- The computer transmits a command to the M-5000 using the format stx + command
- If the M-5000 receives the command correctly, it will send back a command containing the information that was requested. If the command was not received correctly, an ERR command will be sent back.
- If the output of the M-5000 was received correctly, an “ack” will be sent back. (This “ack” can be omitted.)
Q: What happens if an ERR command is sent to the M-5000 when using request commands?
A: If the ERR command is sent to the M-5000, the M-5000 will re-transmit the command it sent in step “b”. This command can also be omitted; instead of returning anything, you can repeat the procedure from step “a”.
Q: What does the M-5000 do when a setting is changed by a controller operation on the M-5000 itself?
A: The M-5000 will not transmit anything when a setting is changed by a controller operation on the M-5000 itself.
Q: What are the different types of command syntax?
A: There are three types of command syntax:
- Type 0: Commands consisting only of a control code. No “;” is added. For example, ack.
- Type 1: Commands that have no parameters. These commands end with “;”. For example, stxVRQ;.
- Type 2: Commands that have parameters. The syntax is: Command: parameter, parameter…;. Parameters are separated by a colon (:) after the command and commas (,) between parameters. The end of the parameters is indicated by a semicolon (;).
Q: What should you know about spaces and tabs in the command syntax?
A: No spaces or tabs are allowed between commands or parameters.
Q: How are input parameters generally given?
A: In general, parameters are given as decimal numbers or letters, and are of variable length.
Q: How are output parameters generally given?
A: Parameters are generally given in decimal or alphabetic form, and their length may vary.
Q: What are the special purpose commands for Telnet and how are they processed?
A: The special purpose commands for Telnet are:
- Text “OK”: Sends “ack” to the server.
- Text “QUIT”: Terminates the connection.
Q: What case should the special purpose commands for Telnet be?
A: You can use capital or small letters for the special purpose commands for Telnet.
Q: What actions should not be performed while the control computer and the M-5000 are communicating?
A: Do not perform the following actions while the control computer and the M-5000 are communicating, as doing so may cause the M-5000 to malfunction:
