Transmit Sequence

During a transmit sequence, the microcontroller selects a 256 or 512 byte segment of the RAM buffer and

writes into it. The appropriate buffer size is specified in the "Define Configuration" command. When long

packets are enabled, the COM20020ID interprets the packet as either a long or short packet, depending

on whether the buffer address 2 contains a zero or non-zero value. The format of the buffer is shown in

Figure 6.2. Address 0 contains the Source Identifier (SID); Address 1 contains the Destination Identifier

(DID); Address 2 (COUNT) contains, for short packets, the value 256-N, where N represents the number

of information bytes in the message, or for long packets, the value 0, indicating that it is indeed a long

packet. In the latter case, Address 3 (COUNT) would contain the value 512-N, where N represents the
