Overview
This section describes the details of the specifications about external output of AE-4020, especially
data format and RS-232C two-way communication protocol and Ethernet
AE-4020 external output can make an output in a format in compliance with ASTM-1394. This
output in the AE-4020 standard format is made in the two-way communication between the device
and PC.
Moreover, AE-4020 is compatible with a conventional device and it can output a data in
AX-4280-compatible format, AM-4290-compatible format (supports AUTION Sticks only) and
MA-4240-compatible format. The output in these compatible format is made in a conventional
unidirectional communication.
(Note) The details of this specification are subject to change or revision according to the version upgrade of ROM
(built-in software) of AE-4020.

If the AE-4020 standard format is selected in an external output, the two-way communication is
made between the device and PC. The two-way communication described herein refers to the action
that a receiver returns a control code to a sender to synchronize mutually when the sender has made
an output (a control code or text data).

Ethernet
The Ethernet communication in our device is made using the Ethernet microcomputer.
4-1.
Communication Setting
The Ethernet communication is made through TCP/IP. Set the device in a server mode and the PC in a client
mode.
Set the IP address, subnet address, gateway and DHCP in the service mode. Moreover, in addition to the IP
address, a port number is required when communicating through the TCP/IP protocol. The port number is
fixed to
28000
.
4-2.
4-2-1.
Frame Structure
Frame structure of the Ethernet communication is a communication text only. The frame structure of the
Ethernet communication is different from that of the RS-232C communication in the following points.
<STX> and <ETB/ETX> are not added.
A frame number is not added.
A checksum is not added.
<CR><LF> is not added to the end of frame.
For the Ethernet communication, a communication text is divided into some packets in a lower level
communication when it is sent and/or received and any information on the first/last packet or packet number is
added automatically as packet information. Therefore, the communication text does not require <STX>,
<ETB/ETX> and frame number. Also, a checksum is unnecessary because it is added automatically.
This specification describes a higher level communication between the device with the Ethernet
microcomputer and the PC.

<Example> An appropriate value (AB) is specified to a checksum. For how to calculate the checksum, refer
to Note 1) stated below.
Note 1) Calculation of checksum
Add up everything after STX including EXT (or ETB), divide the result of addition by 256 and then express
the remainder in a two-digit hexadecimal number. Checksum is the first character (CSH) and the second
character (CSL) of the hexadecimal number.
[Example]
Add up everything to ETX after STX. Assuming that the result of addition is 1000,
E(45H)
and
8(38H) are obtained as CSH and CSL, respectively, from
1000 mod 256 = 232 = E8H

AX-4280-Compatible Format
Compatibility with SA-4250, AX-4280 and AJ-4270 Standard Format
AX-4280-compatible format has some compatibility with the SA-4250 and AX-4280 standard formats, but it is
slightly different from them. For example, because there is no rack number nor port number in AJ-4270 and
AE-4020 and these are not equipped with an independent specific gravity/turbidity measurement unit, AJ-4270
and AE-4020 do not output the concrete value for those items (a blank value or
is output). In measurement
with the test strip AUTION Sticks, the item
S. G.can be measured when a specific test strip (10EA, 9EA) is
used. For the SA-4250 and AX-4280 formats, the measurement result of specific gravity meter is output in the
specific gravity area of the fourth block. On the other hand, for the AX-4280-compatible format,
S. G.is
output as the measurement result of the item (in either the second or third block), otherwise the measurement
result of specific gravity meter is output in the specific gravity area of the fourth block. You can select any of
these two types of output.
The table below shows the major differences between the SA-4250 format and the AX-4280-compatible
format.

*Note The AM-4290 format supports the conventional test strip (10EA, 9EA, 8EA, 7EA, 6EA,
5EA and 4EA) only.
* If 10PA is measured in this format, a data of CRE is not output because the output item is
fixed.
* If 2AC is measured, the measurement result becomes blank because there is no applicable
item.
