Overview
FixmeBus is a field bus based on the half duplex RS485 famous hardware protocol. It is a master / slave architecture, with every slave chained together.
The communication protocol has following parameters:
- 38,400 bauds
- 8 data bits
- 1 start and 1 stop bit
- no parity
- no flow control
Each end of the bus is terminated with a 1% 120R resistor.
Every data frame on the bus is like this (byte on the left = first byte):
- 2 bytes of slave adress (ID_HIGH and ID_LOW) => 65536 slave adress
- ID = 0 => Master
- ID = 65535 => order to all slaves (no ack)
- ID = 65000 to 65499 => order to a group of slave (no ack)
- ID = 1000 to 64999 => order to an unique slave (ack)
 
- 2 bytes for the function (FCT_HIGH and FCT_LOW)
- 1 byte for the number of data bytes to transmit (N_BYTE)
- n byte(s) of data (DATA) bytes (max. 200 bytes per frame)
- 2 bytes for the CRC (CRC_HIGH and CRC_LOW)
| b0 | b1 | b2 | b3 | b4 | b5 | ... | bn+4 | bn+5 | bn+6 | 
| ID_HIGH | ID_LOW | FCT_HIGH | FCT_LOW | N_BYTE | DATA[0] | ... | DATA[n-1] | CRC_HIGH | CRC_LOW |
