- the anti-theft device of the fog-generating type, or fog-generating device, to be controlled by means of the method (protocol) for transmitting messages of the invention comprises a control board with a microcontroller of a known type, connected to a remote board, for example through a flat cable.
- the remote board can be an add-on card installed in the fog-generating device and in turn connected to a second anti-theft device, for example an alarm device, a computer, etc. or can be installed in the second anti-theft device and connected to the fog-generating device.

- control board of the fog-generating device comprises a memory of the flash type for storing static variables in a non-volatile way, as will be described below in detail.
- the communication between the control board of the fog-generating device and the remote board occurs through a serial channel with 3 wires (Tx, Rx, GND) with CMOS 0-5V levels, standard RS232 format, 1 start but, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, at the rate of 4800 bit/s.
- the connector on board the control board of the fog-generating device is the P/N 690367280876, manufactured by Wurth Elektronik, or the same signals are included on a standard pin-header with 2.54 mm pitch.
- the remote or add-on board is made according to the following minimum specifications:

- the full functionality will have to be restored within 1 s from the return of the VCC50 voltage to values greater than 4.0 V.
- the start-of-sequence marker is followed by the data fields of the message separated by commas.
- the maximum length of the whole sentence, from the start-of-sequence marker to the Carriage Return character (included) cannot exceed 32 characters.
- the process for acquiring a message or sentence starts with the reception of character '$' and ends with the reception of character Carriage Return (ASCII 0x0D); the process is ended also if an error is detected in the input flow as violation of one or more of the following rules:
- the CRC16 In case of correctly ended reception with the end-of-sequence marker, the CRC16 will be verified and, without errors, the sentence will be interpreted and executed by the microcontroller of the fog-generating device. At the end of the execution, a reply will always be issued, and depends on the type of processed sentence. If an error is detected on the CRC16, the sentence will be wholly discarded and the $NACK message will be issued.
- issuing of a $NACK message can also occur if a correctly received and interpreted sentence cannot be wholly executed by the fog-generating device due to any reason.
- reception of a reply message different from $NACK is an enough condition to state that a given sentence has been correctly received and executed.
- CRC16 A computation example of CRC16 is given below, implemented by using the generating polynomial x 16 +x 15 +x 2 +1, with starting value 0xFFFF and final inversion.
- a function in C language which returns the CRC16 as defined, computing it on all data of an input vector:
- the control board of the fog-generating device will have to correctly receive at least one sentence every 60 s. After this time without correctly received sentences, the control board of the fog-generating device will deem the serial connection dropped with the remote board and will set itself to a stand-alone operating mode, restoring to their starting values all data structures modified in a volatile way by the remote board, while the static variables stored in the flash memory will keep their last value as set, as will be explained below in more detail.
- the remote board can verify the correct functionality of the bidirectional serial channel by sending a suitably pre-arranged $NOP message, and afterwards verifying the presence of a $ACK reply message from the control board of the fog-generating device.
- the remote board once having sent a sentence, will have to wait for at least a time equal to the maximum processing time, before starting a new transaction.
- the fog-generating device sends on the serial channel some pieces of information used during the end-of-line testing steps.
- the $REMOTE*hhhh message arranges the serial interface for the remote control of the fog-generating device.
- the fog-generating device Upon power-on, the fog-generating device sends on the serial interface some information about its own internal status: these data are used during the testing and/or failure search procedures. Under this status, the microcontroller of the fog-generating device responds only to the $REMOTE message: all other data sent on the serial interface are ignored.
- the $REMOTE message in addition to sending the protocol version number ($VER message), re-initializes all data structures and variables linked to the protocol and stored in a volatile way.
- the actual arming and shooting signals are derived respectively from a logic AND operation and a logic OR operation between local and remote commands.
- the actual arming status of the fog-generating device is determined by the logic AND operation between the remote signal and the local arming input present aboard the card.
- the shooting signal is determined by the logic OR operation between the remote signal and a local signal.
- the machine sends, in reply to this command, the $VER or $NACK message in case of error.
- the $SHOOT!*hhhh message starts a shooting if the fog-generating device is armed, with bottles enough filled-in, at a temperature and no failures or errors have been detectd.
- the necessary conditions for shooting depend on model and typology of the affected fog-generating device, but are wholly summarized in a system ready variable, which will be described below in Table 4, whose value is always machine independent.
- the $TANKRESET*hhhh message performs a bottle reset operation following a press on the suitable push-button on the board of the fog-generating device. It is advisable to use this function with extreme care, avoiding to send the command without a corresponding physical and actual operation of replacement of empty bottles.
- the $NOP*hhhh message does nothing.
- the remote board can use it as heartbeat to keep the connection active, if there is nothing to communicate.
- the $READ,name*hhhh message reads the value of an internal variable stored in the control board of the fog-generating device according to Table 1 (included below) in which some examples are listed for allowed values for the name field.
- the $WRITE,name,value*hhhh message sets the value of an internal variable stored in the control board of the fog-generating device according to Table 1 in which some examples are listed for allowed values for the name and value fields.
- the $ACK*hhhh message is issued following the correct reception and execution of a sentence should this not require the generation of a different reply.
- the $NACK*hhhh message is issued following an error in the reception or execution of any sentence.
- the $DATA,name,value*hhhh message is issued by the fog-generating device following a $READ message and returns the value of an internal variable as per Table 1.
- the fog-generating device communicates the version number of the current implementation of the protocol.
- digit a can assume a value included between 'A' and 'Z' while digits b, c can assume values in the '0'...'9' range. In this way, it is possible to represent a version number from "A00" to "Z99".
- the communication method of the present invention allows reading and/or modifying a series of internal variables used for managing some operating aspects of the fog-generating device. Access to these parameters occurs through the $READ and $WRITE sentences.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention refers to a communication method between anti-theft devices of the fog-generating type, to a device and to a system which use such method. In particular, the invention relates to a method for transmitting messages or sentences between anti-theft devices of the fog-generating type for remotely controlling the main functions of the fog-generating device, arming and shooting included, to a device which uses such method, and to a system comprising devices which use such method.
- Anti-theft devices of the fog-generating type are known in the art, and they allow a local checking of the arming and shooting functions of the fog-generating device.
- Such devices however have the inconvenience that they do not allow remotely controlling the main functions of the device, arming and shooting included.
- Object of the present invention is solving the above prior art problems, by providing a method for transmitting messages between anti-theft devices of the fog-generating type which allows remotely controlling the main functions of the fog-generating device.
- The above and other objects and advantages of the invention, as will appear from the following description, are obtained with a method for transmitting messages or sentences between anti-theft devices of the fog-generating type as claimed in Claim 1. Preferred embodiments and non-trivial variations of the present invention are claimed in the dependent Claims.
- It is intended that all enclosed claims are an integral part of the present disclosure.
- It will be immediately obvious that numerous variations and modifications (for example related to shape, sizes, arrangements and parts with equivalent functionality) could be made to what is described, without departing from the scope of the invention as appears from the enclosed claims.
- The present invention will be better described by some preferred embodiments thereof, given as a non-limiting example, with reference to the enclosed drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of part of an interfacing circuit of the anti-theft device of the fog-generating type of the invention. - With reference to the Figure, a non-limiting embodiment of the method for transmitting messages or sentence between anti-theft devices of the fog-generating type is shown and described, for remotely controlling the main functions of the fog-generating device, together with the device which uses such method, and the system comprising devices which use such method according to the present invention.
- The communication protocol or method of the present invention is adapted to allow remotely controlling the main functions of a fog-generating device, arming and shooting included.
- The anti-theft device of the fog-generating type, or fog-generating device, to be controlled by means of the method (protocol) for transmitting messages of the invention comprises a control board with a microcontroller of a known type, connected to a remote board, for example through a flat cable. The remote board can be an add-on card installed in the fog-generating device and in turn connected to a second anti-theft device, for example an alarm device, a computer, etc. or can be installed in the second anti-theft device and connected to the fog-generating device.
- The anti-theft device of the fog-generating type, the remote board and the second anti-theft device are the anti-theft system of the fog-generating type of the invention.
- Preferably, the control board of the fog-generating device comprises a memory of the flash type for storing static variables in a non-volatile way, as will be described below in detail.
- Figura 1 shows an example of a diagram of the interfacing hardware of the remote board.
- Preferably, the communication between the control board of the fog-generating device and the remote board, using the communication protocol or method of the invention, occurs through a serial channel with 3 wires (Tx, Rx, GND) with CMOS 0-5V levels, standard RS232 format, 1 start but, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, at the rate of 4800 bit/s.
- For example, the connector on board the control board of the fog-generating device is the P/N 690367280876, manufactured by Wurth Elektronik, or the same signals are included on a standard pin-header with 2.54 mm pitch.
- Preferably, the remote or add-on board is made according to the following minimum specifications:
- operating temperature range: -40 ÷ +85 °C;
- FR4 support with TG>=170°C;
- solder resist on both external faces;
- silk-screen printing on components side with indication of pin 1 for every connector;
- lead-free RoHS technology;
- compliance with EC and EMC standards recalled in the certification of the fog-generating device or of the device in which the remote or add-on board will have to be installed.
- Within a maximum time of 10 s from the time in which the voltage VCC50 drops below 3.0 V, the add-on board will have to place itself in reduced consumption mode (preferably null and anyway never greater than 10 µA) to avoid discharging the internal battery. The full functionality will have to be restored within 1 s from the return of the VCC50 voltage to values greater than 4.0 V.
- Herein below, the syntax of the communication protocol or method of the invention is described.
- Every message or sentence of the communication protocol or method starts with character '$' (start-of-sequence marker, ASCII 0x24) and ends with CR (Carriage Return) character (end-of-sequence marker, ASCII 0x0D
- The start-of-sequence marker is followed by the data fields of the message separated by commas.
- At the end of the last data field, there is an asterisk followed by 4 hexadecimal characters (herein below designated with "*hhhh") which represent the value in ASCII-HEX coding of the CRC16 computed on all characters included between '$' and '*' (extremes included). A computation example of the CRC 16 is included below.
- In order to facilitate the interfacing with low-end microcontrollers, the maximum length of the whole sentence, from the start-of-sequence marker to the Carriage Return character (included) cannot exceed 32 characters.
- The process for acquiring a message or sentence starts with the reception of character '$' and ends with the reception of character Carriage Return (ASCII 0x0D); the process is ended also if an error is detected in the input flow as violation of one or more of the following rules:
- 1. at least one character inside a field does not fall within the range of allowed values;
- 2. the sentence has a global length greater than 32 characters (including 0x0D).
- If the reception of a sentence prematurely ends, a $NACK message will be issued and the state machine will go back in stand-by waiting for a new character '$'.
- In case of correctly ended reception with the end-of-sequence marker, the CRC16 will be verified and, without errors, the sentence will be interpreted and executed by the microcontroller of the fog-generating device. At the end of the execution, a reply will always be issued, and depends on the type of processed sentence. If an error is detected on the CRC16, the sentence will be wholly discarded and the $NACK message will be issued.
- In general, issuing of a $NACK message can also occur if a correctly received and interpreted sentence cannot be wholly executed by the fog-generating device due to any reason. Vice versa, the reception of a reply message different from $NACK is an enough condition to state that a given sentence has been correctly received and executed.
- A computation example of CRC16 is given below, implemented by using the generating polynomial x16+x15+x2+1, with starting value 0xFFFF and final inversion.
- As an example, a function in C language is included, which returns the CRC16 as defined, computing it on all data of an input vector:
// CRC16-ANSI function. Generator polynomial x^16+x^15+x^2+1 // starting value: 0xFFFF uint16 ComputeCRC16 (uint8 *pvector, uint8 dim) { uint16 nCrc, nCarry; uint8 i, j; // frame checking nCrc=0xFFFF; for (i=0;i<dim;i++) { nCre=nCrc^pvector[i] ; for (j=0; j<8; j++) ( nCarry=nCrc&0x0001; nCrc>>=1; if (nCarry) nCrc^=0xA001; } } j=(uint8) (nCrc>>8); nCrc=(nCrc<<8) + (uint16) j; return (∼nCrc) ; }
- 1. stop every transmission on the serial channel;
- 2. wait for a time not shorter than 80 s to force the input of the fog-generating device in stand-alone mode;
- 3. restore the communication by sending a new $REMOTE message.
- Name is the identifier of the variable which must be included in the same field of the $READ and $WRITE messages. It is case sensitive and cannot contain spaces.
- Type inclused information about access modes: "R" for read-only, "W" for write-only, "R/W" for read and write;
- Static defines whether the variable will be stored in a non-volatile way in the control board of the fog-generating device upon receiving the related $WRITE message. For technologic reasons, the internal flash has a maximum possible number of erasing/writing cycles: to avoid an excessive wear of the internal memory and guarantee at the same time a reliable operation, the microcontroller on board the control board of the fog-generating device will allow a limited number of writings in flash, after having exceeded which, all variables marked as static will not be saved any more in a non volatile way and will therefore have to be restored upon every power-on.
• Value includes the representation mode of the variable in the message data field.
