RS Stat # Wrong

What does RS 08 mean?
This serial communication error indicates that an incorrect format was used to request status information from the CLM01.3-M. This could be due to an invalid status number or a general formatting issue with the status request command string.
Common Causes
- The status number requested in the serial command is invalid or not recognized by the CLM01.3-M.
- The overall format of the status request command string (e.g., prefix, station number, CR/LF) is incorrect.
- Corrupted data during serial transmission, leading to a misinterpretation of the status request.
- Sending device software bug, generating malformed status requests.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Verify that the status number and the entire status request command string are transmitted in the correct format. Refer to Chapter 7 (Serial Interface).
- 2
Check the requested status number against the list of valid status numbers for the CLM01.3-M in Chapter 7 (e.g., Status 00-81).
- 3
Ensure the serial communication settings (baud rate, parity, word length, stop bits) on both devices are identical.
- 4
Re-transmit the status request command after correcting any formatting issues.
- 5
Use a serial terminal program to verify the exact string being sent to the CLM01.3-M for debugging.
