hello dear people, I have to create a checksum over 4 variables via XOR, but I cannot find any usable information here that will help me further the checksum itself is only one byte long Does anyone have valuable help for me and to be able to implement my problem, please Thanks in advance olby2 from the data sheet Length Description 1 STX (Start of text) 2 Recipient address (serial number) 2 (high byte) - 3 (low byte) 2 Sender address (serial number) 4 (high byte) - 5 (low byte) 2 Parameter numbers (with control bits) (Bit 11 = 0) 6 (high byte) - 7 (low byte) 4 Parameter value 8 (HH byte) - 11 (LL byte) 1 Checksum (XOR of bytes 2-11) 12 1 ETX (End of text) 13 my Function code //var STX=02; var recipient=msg.payload.Recipient; var sender=msg.payload.Sender; var Par_Number=msg.payload.Par_Number; var write=msg.payload.write; // Bit 15 1=Write parameter var read=msg.payload.read; // Bit 14 1=Read parameter var error=msg.payload.error; // Bit 12 1= error occured var File=msg.payload.File; // Bit 11 0=No acton var VDEW=msg.payload.VDEW; // Bit 10 allways 0 var Par_value=msg.payload.Par_value; var checksum=0 // var ETX=03; Par_Number |= write << 15; Par_Number |= read << 14; Par_Number |= error << 12; Par_Number |= File << 11; Par_Number |= VDEW << 10; // Checksum from recipient ; sender ; Par_Number ; Par_value var Checksum = 01; // Checksum end msg.payload.Par_Number = Par_Number; msg.payload.Checksum = Checksum; return msg;

Your parameter number in the lower inject was incorrect (it should contain 0x4094 - a combination of the read/write flag (hi) and the parameter number (lo).)

Hello Steve, Preformatted textI've tried something with your information and examples, but I'm not getting it right yet. either I don't mind that the value of the checksum may only be an 8-bit value or I only calculate some of my variables with XOR The inject node uses a originally transmitted packet and encodes it. With the Inject Node 148 I try to create the packet myself, but the checksum differ between the original and my "copy" thanks for your help in advanced [ { "id": "3f7d785b05f96f24", "type": "inject", "z": "e016160.58e2068", "name": "", "props": [ { "p": "payload" } ], "repeat": "", "crontab": "", "once": false, "onceDelay": 0.1, "topic": "", "payload": "0200010000409400000000d503", "payloadType": "str", "x": 250, "y": 280, "wires": [ [ "3a27a89280829ee6" ] ] }, { "id": "3a27a89280829ee6", "type": "buffer-parser", "z": "e016160.58e2068", "name": "", "data": "payload", "dataType": "msg", "specification": "spec", "specificationType": "ui", "items": [ { "type": "byte", "name": "STX", "offset": 0, "length": 1, "offsetbit": 0, "scale": "1", "mask": "" }, { "type": "int16be", "name": "Recipient", "offset": 1, "length": 1, "offsetbit": 0, "scale": "1", "mask": "" }, { "type": "int16be", "name": "Sender", "offset": 3, "length": 1, "offsetbit": 0, "scale": "1", "mask": "" }, { "type": "int16be", "name": "Parameter Num", "offset": 5, "length": 1, "offsetbit": 0, "scale": "1", "mask": "0b000000111111111" }, { "type": "int16be", "name": "write", "offset": 5, "length": 1, "offsetbit": 0, "scale": ">>15", "mask": "0b1111100000000000" }, { "type": "int16be", "name": "read", "offset": 5, "length": 1, "offsetbit": 0, "scale": ">>14", "mask": "0b0111100000000000" }, { "type": "int32be", "name": "Value", "offset": 7, "length": 1, "offsetbit": 0, "scale": "1", "mask": "" }, { "type": "byte", "name": "Checksum", "offset": 11, "length": 1, "offsetbit": 0, "scale": "1", "mask": "" }, { "type": "byte", "name": "ETX", "offset": 12, "length": 1, "offsetbit": 0, "scale": "1", "mask": "" } ], "swap1": "", "swap2": "", "swap3": "", "swap1Type": "swap", "swap2Type": "swap", "swap3Type": "swap", "msgProperty": "payload", "msgPropertyType": "str", "resultType": "keyvalue", "resultTypeType": "output", "multipleResult": false, "fanOutMultipleResult": false, "setTopic": true, "outputs": 1, "x": 680, "y": 320, "wires": [ [ "7dd8b6d07a7786ef", "f77fd0f128e83955" ] ] }, { "id": "7dd8b6d07a7786ef", "type": "debug", "z": "e016160.58e2068", "name": "", "active": true, "tosidebar": true, "console": true, "tostatus": true, "complete": "payload", "targetType": "msg", "statusVal": "payload", "statusType": "auto", "x": 970, "y": 320, "wires": [] }, { "id": "f77fd0f128e83955", "type": "function", "z": "e016160.58e2068", "name": "", "func": "var STX=02;\nvar recipient=msg.payload.Recipient;\nvar sender=msg.payload.Sender;\nvar Par_number=msg.payload.Par_Number;\nvar write=msg.payload.write;
