Remote Operation

7.3.1

Explanation

Remote operation means that the ergometer is externally controlled via the digital RS-232 interface,
i.e. all commands for the load and blood pressure measurement intervals are transmitted from a sepa-
rate "master unit".
This type of operation is used primarily when several ergometers are controlled from a central work-
station, the ECG device has its own ergometry-control program and the ergometer and ECG unit – and
possibly other devices such as spirometry devices – can be combined to form an ergometry or spi-
rometry station.

In combination with SCHILLER ECG units, remote operation is the only approved operation method.

Prerequisites

When the remote operation mode is selected, the unit used (an ECG device or a PC) must be con-
nected with the ergometer via an interface cable. For our ergometers, this is a type RS-232 interface,
which is isolated to ensure the patient's safety.
The appropriate baud rate must be selected in the program "Setting" under "Interface". The appropri-
ate transmission protocol must then be selected in the same menu under "Instruction Set". The so-
called "ergoline operating mode" is stored under the setting P 10. Our own transmission protocol is
located under "ergosana".
Information on interface and instruction set can be obtained from the operating data of the master
unit.
When the settings have been correctly defined, the ergometer automatically switches to "remote op-
eration" when the first command comes through over the interface. The ergometry screen is opened
in the display, showing the current load, blood pressure and pulse rate data in both alphanumeric and
graphic forms. The execution of the internal programs is disabled in this operating mode.
Remote operating mode is ended by either pressing the command button "End" or by switching the
device off.
