MTF protocol for MORSE

version 10.0.62.0

6/29/2015

1. Introduction

MTF protocol (Morse Technology Format) is used to securely transfer data between the points with the technological unit SEP/ADIO. MTF format can also use the MODBUS protocol using function translation by ART table, see the MODBUS description.

2. Data Format

The structure of MTF packet, which is sent from the interface to MORSE network:

| header/32 | data_part | chksum/16 |

The packet consists of a header, a number of data blocks and checksum. Blocks of data_part can be a different number. Format of each item is determined by the command and processed one after the other.

Header:

|format/8|err/8|reqNo/8|respNo/8|
format/8

beginning of the packet 0x01

err/8

error message

reqNo/8

request number

respNo/8

response number

Data blocks:

|type/8|ft/1|cmd/3|size/4|cnt/4|offset/12| data |

A short frame is common in devices SEP/ADIO. Long framework is in development, its format is given at the end of this section.

type/8

Distinguishes between data blocks according to content and defines the format of | data | part.

  • 00 – reserved

  • 01 – digi input – one block of data contains information on up to 16 inputs, each input uses 1-bit from words mask, status and value, while the value is the actual value of input

    |mask/16|status/16|value/16|
   mask=0  status=0 ... invalid data
   mask=0  status=1 ... undefined data (so-called third state)
   mask=1  status=0 ... bad data, the size does not match
   mask=1  status=1 ... data OK
   value            ... digital input value

  • 02 – analog input – one block of data contains information about an input (number of blocks is determined by parameter cnt

    |invalid/1|overrun/1|value/14|
   invalid=1  ... Error description
   invalid=0  ... data OK
   overrun=0  ... value is in the interval (0)4-20mA
   overrun=1  ... value/14 hodnota is out of interval  4-20mA 
                         (0x4000 <4mA, 0x4FFF > 20mA)
   value/14   ... analog input value

  • 03 – calib – pro ADIO/SEP

    |k/16|q/16|

  • 04 – prodident – identification of the product ADIO/SEP

    |typ/8|res/8|hw_ver/16|res/16|prod_num/16|res/16|date/32|sign/16|

  • 05 – holding registers

    Word, read/write

  • 06 – digi output

    |mask/16|status/16|value/16|
   mask=0  status=0 ...invalid data
   mask=0  status=1 ...undefined data (so-called third state)
   mask=1  status=0 ...bad data, the size does not match
   mask=1  status=1 ...data OK
   value            ... digital output value

  • 07 – analog output

    |invalid/1|res/1|value/14|
   invalid=1  ...value/14 Error description
   invalid=0  ...value/14 data OK
   value/14   ...analog output value

  • 08 – counters

    |invalid/1|res/1|value/30|
   invalid=1  ...value/30 Error description
   invalid=0  ...value/30 data OK

  • 09 – unused

ft/1
framework distinguishing, 1 – short, 0 – long
cmd/3
command
  • 0 – write req – write request
  • 1 – read req – read request
  • 2 – write resp – response to a write request
  • 3 – read resp – response to a read request
  • 4 – spontaneous data (used in a spontaneous mode
              SEP/ADIO)
  • 5 – spontaneous alarm
size/4
size of one block of data in a word, example:
  • digital input, size = 3 word
  • analog input, size = 1 word
cnt/4
number of data blocks, example for ADIO:
  • digital input, cnt = 1 block with 16 inputs, only the
              inputs 0 and 1 used
  • analog input, cnt = 2 blocks, one for each analog input
              with max 14 bits
offset/12
adresa první přenášené digitální nebo analogový kanál, příklad
          pro SEP:
  • reading a set of digital inputs 0 to 7 ->
              offset = 0, cnt = 1
  • reading analog inputs 0 a 1 -> offset = 0,
              cnt = 2
  • reading analog inputs 5, 6, 7 -> offset =
              5, cnt = 3
data
data – data length (word) is determined by the product
          size×cnt
Checksum:
|chksum/16|
 
The format of short and long MTF frame
A short frame is used in equipment SEP/ADIO:
|typ/8|ft/1|cmd/3|size/4|cnt/4|offset/12| data |
       ft=1 - short frame
Long frame:
|typ/8|ft/1|res/7|cmd/3|res/1|size/4|cnt/8|offset/16| data |
       ft=0 - long frame
 
Example of short frames generated by ADIO module, broken down into
    data blocks:
0100 C300                 format  req No,resp No
01C3 1000 0003 0003 0000  Dinp,spont,3word  1×data,000offset  mask  status  state=00
