In this diagram, one byte is sent, consisting of a start bit, followed by eight data bits (D1-8), and two stop bits, for a 11-bit UART frame. The number of data and formatting bits, the presence or absence of a parity bit, the form of parity (even or odd) and the transmission speed must be pre-agreed by the communicating parties.
Asynchronous start-stop is the lower data-link layer used to connect computers to modems for many dial-up Internet access applications, using a second (encapsulating) data link framing protocol such as PPP to create packets made up out of asynchronous serial characters. The most common physical layer interface used is RS-232D.
In asynchronous serial communication in the physical protocol layer, the data blocks are code words of a certain word length, for example octets or ASCII characters, delimited by start bits and stop bits. A variable length space can be inserted between the code words. No bit synchronization signal is required.
The ADU is officially called a Modbus frame by the Modbus Organization, [7] although frame is used as the data unit in the data-link layer in the OSI and TCP/IP model (while Modbus is an application layer protocol). PDU max size is 253 bytes. ADU max size on RS232/RS485 network is 256 bytes, and with TCP is 260 bytes. [8]
(the START bit), waits 'half a bit duration' and then reads the value of the signal. A further delay of one 'whole bit duration' is executed before the next data bit is 'read' - repeating for the length of the whole serial word (typically 7/8-data bits). An optional PARITY bit follows the data bits and precedes the stop bit(s).
The first seven 1-bits of this (the pattern 01111111) constitute a "go-ahead" sequence (also called EOP, end of poll) giving a secondary permission to transmit. A secondary which wishes to transmit uses its 1-bit delay to convert the final 1 bit in this sequence to a 0 bit, making it a flag character, and then transmits its own frames.
Between data frames, the bus controller holds SCL high, in effect stopping the clock, and SDA drivers are in a high-impedance state, permitting a pull-up resistor to float it to high. A high-to-low transition of SDA while SCL is high is known as a START symbol, and signals the beginning a new data frame.
The network designer has to ensure the fault-free functionality in the design phase (one slave is allowed to send data to the bus in one frame time). If the identifier causes one physical LIN slave to send the response, the identifier may be called a Rx-identifier. If the master's slave task sends data to the bus, it may be called Tx-identifier.
