Communication protocol called spinel was developed and launched based on our extensive experience with data communications based on other industrial protocols. The target was to accomplish mutual intercompatibility of our devices - from those very simple to those more than complicated.
Spinel was designed in such a way we could enhance and extend it as we see fit without losing the compatibility of our older devices.
Spinel modes are referred to as Spinel formats where each format has its designated number. Numbers 0 - 96 are designated for ASCII coding, numbers 97 - 255 are binary. Each device can support more Spinel Formats or it can have its own specific format. Data are transferred in packets with defined start and end sequences.
