The protocol supports the communication with ELCOR-2, microELCOR-2, and ELCORLite devices (made by the ELGAS company ) that recalculate a gas quantity.with ELCOR-2, microELCOR-2, ELCORLite, miniELCOR,and ELCORplus devices (made by the ELGAS company ) that recalculate a gas quantity.
When communication is established, the current device configuration is read. From it, for each configured object (identified by the "Name" field), its address ("ID" field) necessary for the configuration of the I/O tag and the object type ("Object type" field) can be determined. Example of a reading:

They influence some optional parameters of the protocol. Following The following station protocol parameters can be set:
...
| Full name | Meaning | Unit | Default value |
|---|
| Selection of device type. | ELCOR-2 or microELCOR-2 | ELCOR-2 |
| The delay between request retries in case of a communication failure. |
| 3 |
| Delay after sending the request before reading the response. | ms | 100 ms |
| Delay The delay between response readings until it is completed. | ms | 100 ms |
| Retry count of response reading until it is completed. |
| 30 |
| Static Period of reading static - configuration data read period (microELCOR-2 only). | min | 60 min |
Hourly Archive Periodic Reading | A period for the reading of hourly archives (0-60 min). Value 0 disables the reading. | min | 0 min |
| Length of 'wake-up' data sequence, which is sent before the request after a longer communication pause. | 0 .. 50 bytes | 25 bytes |
| Insert 'wake-up' data sequence before each request. | YES/NO | NO |
| Form 'wake-up' data sequence from the specified characters. | 0 .. 255 | 255 |
| Group source address (address of the D2000 KOM process). | 0 .. 65535 | 0 |
| Source address (address of the D2000 KOM process). | 0 .. 255 | 0 |

Table 2 contains the list of the main parameters of the device.
Tables 3 to 8 contains the list of variable configuration and informative data according to the parameter type. DESC(ind) parameter represents the common data of all parameters. It describes the quantity. The current value of quantity can be acquired by the configuration of the I/O tag with numerical address - index ind (number from 1 and higher). To find out the technical units - configure text of I/O tag with the address UNIT(ind).
