Group 90 — Communications5-74 MVX9000 User ManualDescriptions ofParameter SettingsCRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check) is calculated by the following steps:Step 1: Load a 16-bit register (called CRC register) with FFFFH.Step 2: Exclusive OR the first 8-bit byte of the command message with the loworder byte of the 16-bit CRC register, putting the result in the CRC register.Step 3: Shift the CRC register one bit to the right with MSB zero filling. Extractand examine the LSB.Step 4: If the LSB of CRC register is 0, repeat step 3, else Exclusive or the CRCregister with the polynomial value A001H.Step 5: Repeat step 3 and 4 until eight shifts have been performed. When this isdone, a complete 8-bit byte will have been processed.Step 6: Repeat steps 2 to 5 for the next 8-bit byte of the command message.Continue doing this until all bytes have been processed. The final contents of theCRC register are the CRC value. When transmitting the CRC value in the message,the upper and lower bytes of the CRC value must be swapped, i.e. the lowerorder byte will be transmitted first.The following is an example of CRC generation using C language. The functiontakes two arguments:Unsigned char* data a pointer to the message bufferUnsigned char length the quantity of bytes in the message bufferThe function returns the CRC value as a type of unsigned integer.Unsigned int crc_chk(unsigned char* data, unsigned char length){int j;unsigned int reg_crc=0xFFFF;while(length--){reg_crc ^= *data++;for(j=0;j<8;j++){if(reg_crc & 0x01){ /* LSB(b0)=1 */reg_crc=(reg_crc>>1) ^ 0xA001;}else{Reg_crc=reg_crc>>1;}}}return reg_crc;}
