Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the ZS-HL-N Series. This manual provides reference information on non-procedural communication commands for ZS-HL-N Series. When using the ZS-HL-N Series, be sure to observe the following:
- The ZS-HL-N Series must be operated by personnel knowledgeable in electrical engineering.

Setting the Communication Specifications
Change the settings of the controller communication specifications for non-procedural communication with the external device.
Use USB cable or RS-232C cable to connect ZS-HL-N Series controllers to external devices. For USB cable connection, install Smart Monitor ZS and USB driver beforehand. After installing Smart Monitor ZS, USB ports are recognized as standard COM ports, and communication is achieved as with the RS- 232C. (Setting the communication specifications including baud rate is not necessary.) For details on how to connect cable, refer to the User’s Manual for each controller.
- Set the mode switch to “FUN”.
- Select [System] – [Communication] – [Mode] menu.
- Select [non-procedural].
- For RS-232C cable connection, select [System] – [Communication] – [RS-232C] menu to set the appropriate communication specifications for the external device.
- Save the settings.
Format
The format of non-procedural commands are as follows:
Example: A command to acquire a measured value MEASURE command
- Each character is output as an ASCII code (except for FLOWDATA response).
The format of returned values changes depending on the command. For the description of each command, refer to “List of Non-procedural Commands” section.
- MEASURE / M / DATAGET
- The returned value consists of right-aligned 11 characters and a delimiter. The unit is nm for a displacement value. The shortfalls of the characters are filled with spaces from the left.
Example: The returned value is -30.719923 mm.
| – | 3 | 0 | 7 | 1 | 9 | 9 | 2 | 3 | CR |
- BANKGET command
- The returned value is output as 1 character bank No.
Example: The bank No. is 2.
- VERGET command
- The returned value is output in the following format:
- Other commands
- Either OK or ER is returned according to the result of the command. The command was executed properly:
| O | K | CR |
The command was not executed properly or the setting was NG:
| E | R | CR |
- The delimiter can be selected from the following three types.
- CR/LF/CR+LF

FLOWDATA Reference
What is FLOWDATA?
- The ZS-HL-N series implements high speed sampling measurement up to 110us.
- Handling these measurement data with an external device requires reading in a large amount of data.
- The ZS-HL-N series are provided with a mechanism which enables to handle and acquire measurement data by a given bundle.
- This bundle of data is called a FLOWDATA.
How to acquire FLOWDATA
FLOWDATA is batch output if the controller has accepted the command for acquiring a FLOWDATA when data is accumulated for the specified buffer size (max. 1000 data). A device receiving data (such as PC) needs to issue the command before the ZS controller accumulates measurement data for the buffer size.
If the controller has not received the command when measurement data for the buffer size is accumulated in the controller, the past data is overwritten: In this case, it raises an error flag for buffer overflow. A device receiving data (such as PC) needs to check this flag to see if the commands have been issued in time.
Format
After outputting the command for acquiring FLOWDATA, the binary data is output in the following format:
- Header division (4bytes): Data division (4bytes)
Configuration of FLOWDATA
Binary data is used for response data of FLOWDATA to give the highest priority to the speed. Therefore, general purpose communication tools such as HyperTerminal may not be used to receive the data.
Buffer size and buffer intervals
The buffer size of measurement data to be accumulated in the ZS controller and its buffer intervals can be changed. Change the following parameters:
- DATAGET and DATASET commands are used to change and refer to the parameters.
| Unit No. | Data No. | Parameter | Description |
| 124 | 2 | FLOWDATA accumulation mode | 0: OFF 1: ON |
| 3 | Buffer intervals | 1 to 65535 (pcs) | |
| 4 | Buffer size | 1 to 1000 (pcs) |
Logging data
Data to be accumulated in the ZS controller can be selected.
- When multi-task mode is OFF
- When GLASS/MODE 2 or GLASS THICKNESSS/MODE 2 is selected for the measurement object
| Unit No. | Data No. | Value | Description |
| 124 | 5 | 0 | No accumulation |
| 1 | Accumulation of result of area 1 | ||
| 2 | Accumulation of result of area 2 | ||
| 3 | Accumulation of result of glass surface or glass thickness |
- When a mode other than the above is selected for the measurement object.
| Unit No. | Data No. | Value | Description |
| 124 | 5 | 0 | No accumulation |

- TASK No.=bit data+1
Example: bit data=10B=2 (dec) indicates TASK3 data.
The input lines are, from the lower bit, assigned to:
In case of ZS
- Input terminal 4 (Unused. Always set to 0.)
- Input terminal 3
- Input terminal 2
- Input terminal 1
- Input terminal 0 (5 inputs in total.)
Data to be received and their states are as follows:
- 00b=Not executed
- 01b=LOW
- 10b=PASS
- 11b=HIGH
The output states are, from the lower bit, assigned to:
In case of ZS
- Output terminal 4 (Busy output)
- Output terminal 3 (Enable output)
- Output terminal 2 (Low output)
- Output terminal 1 (Pass output)
- Output terminal 0 (High output)
(5 outputs in total). States in parenthesis indicate the standard states.

Example of Usage
To give an example, provided below is a procedure to communicate by non-procedural commands using Windows standard tool HyperTerminal.
Start up HyperTerminal
HyperTerminal is located under [Program]-[Accessory]-[Communication].
- Enter an appropriate project name.
- Select the COM port connected to the ZS in the Connection Method section.
- Set the communication conditions.
- HyperTerminal is started up.
To make the interaction with commands easier, set echo and other functions
- Open [Property].
- Select the setting tag, and then ASCII settings.
- Check the following items, and press OK to complete the setting.
- Change ZS into “RUN” mode.
- Perform non-procedural communication.
- Input a command, and then press the return key.
