The digital MAN-code communication channel does now support a more cost effective two-wire data transfer between the A²SI and the master control logic. It is not necessary to rely on the additional ‘Receive_Strobe’ signal, which is supplied at the parameter port P2 in Master Mode to verify the correctness of the MAN output signal at the LED port. The MAN signal is now distinctively disturbed if an erroneous telegram was detected at the AS-i input. This allows to spare at least one opto coupler in between the A²SI and the master control. If running, the communication watchdog will now become turned off as soon as the volatile slave address register is changed to zero (0x0). This occurs after the reception of a Delete_Address call or at a reset of the A²SI. In all previous revisions, a running communication watchdog could only be turned off by a reset of the A²SI (reception of Reset_Slave call or external reset). In case the watchdog was running and a master did not submit a Reset_Slave call prior to an address assignment, the write access to the non-volatile E²PROM memory could have been interrupted. Because a data...
