DynaPCN 10-01-00 RS-485 Communication Protocol Rev. 1-3 Introduction

1 Introduction
This document describes the commands of the serial RS-485 communication protocol between a
user application and the DynaPCN 10-01-00.
The communication is based on a Serial Network Protocol (SNP).
This protocol uses the routines SNP_Recv() and SNP_Send() to send and receive the messages via
a serial port.
To properly build a packet, SNP_Send() uses BuildSNPCommand().
If no serials are available, you can install the RS-485 emulator via USB.
For more information refer to the document: DynaPCN 10-01-00 User Manual.
In the next chapter, each command is represented as follows:
Command Command name
Command Description Brief description of command purpose
Parameters Format and type of possible parameter(s)

Table 3. Error Codes and their meaning
Error code
Meaning
0
No issues
1
One or both video sensors partially occluded
2
One video sensor completely occluded
3
Both video sensors completely occluded
4
Right video sensor obscured
8
Left sensor obscured
12
Both video sensors obscured
16
High lighting difference between right and left video sensors
20, 24, 28
High lighting difference between right and left video sensors, and both video sensors occluded
The difference between occlusion and obscuring is the following:
• Occlusion: condition in which an object placed near one or both video sensors partially or completely covers them.
This condition may occur in the typical case where a video sensor is covered by a hand, an opaque adhesive, or a
chewing gum. If this condition persists for a sufficiently long time, it is necessary to verify that there are no objects
placed on the video sensors that prevent them from functioning properly
• Obscuring: abnormal low light condition. If this condition persists for a sufficiently long time, it means that the PCN is
working in an environment too dark for its configuration. It is necessary to check the intensity of the infrared LEDs and
consider whether to increase it.
