Appendix C.  Monitoring Sampler Status 

via RS-485 

When controlling a sampler via time-based/stand-alone or pulse control, it is 

possible to still collect the sampler status values over RS-485 (PakBus® or 

Modbus®).  The following sections walk through configuring the MD485 to 

talk with a CR1000 and then programming examples for Modbus® and 

PakBus® in 

CRBasic

.   

C.1  Configuring an MD485

1. Connect a serial cable to the RS-232 port on the MD485 and to the

computer.

2. Supply power (12 Vdc) to the MD485 by the power jack or through the

+12 V line on the CS I/O connector.  You will need a SC12 serial cable to

connect the CS I/O port of the MD485 to the CS I/O port on the

datalogger.

3. Open 

DevConfig

.  Click 

Peripheral

.  Select 

MD485

.  Select the

Communication Port

.  Push the 

Program

 button on the MD485.  Click

Connect

.  The program button is located to the right of the RS-485

connectors on the modem’s front panel.
