THE TRANSACTION SEQUENCES AND THE REGULATIONS
The transaction sequences
The transactions have three kinds of sequence.
* A transaction is a Command from Host then Slave will be an answer by Status answer, ACK or NAK.
* A transaction is a Status request from Host then Slave will be an answer by Status answer or NAK.
* A transaction is Auto status feedback from Slave when a Slave’s status changed. (If the auto status feedback
is enabled.)
The transaction regulations
The transactions have some kinds of regulation.
* An answer (ACK, NAK or Status answer) transmittion by Slave has to fi nish within 500ms when got a
Command or a Status request from Host.
* Host must not transmit an another Command or Status request until “it receives a answer by a previous
Command or Status request” or “it passes a term of waitinng time from a fi nishing of previous transmission
of a Command or a Status request “.
* Slave has to fi nish a transaction under 500ms when it sends Auto status feedback data.
Specifi cation of Auto status feedback
There are some specifi c regulations about Auto status feedback.
* The product status has segmented into four layers of 1, 2, 3 and 4.
* The status of layer 1 are assigned most kindly status to Host. (The statuses of layer 2 are assigned kindly
status, the statuses of layer 3 are not so need status to Host and the statuses of layer 4 are probably no
wished statuses.)
* Each layer status can control transmit enable or disable by Host command. (The product default would be
all disables.)
* Slave sends auto status feedback by itself when the status is changed and if the status feedback is
enabled.
* The product defi ned and segmentationed layers are takeing in status list.
