RS-485 Modbus™ Protocol 

 
Model DM-700 sensors feature Modbus™ compatible communications protocol and are addressable via the 
program mode.  Other protocols are available.  Contact the Detcon factory for specific protocol requirements.  
Communication is two wire, half duplex 485, 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, with the sensor set up 
as a slave device.  A master controller up to 4000 feet away can theoretically poll up to 256 different sensors.  
This number may not be realistic in harsh environments where noise and/or wiring conditions would make it 
impractical to place so many devices on the same pair of wires.  If a multi-point system is being utilized, each 
sensor should be set for a different address.  Typical address settings are: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 0A, 
0B, 0C, 0D, 0E, 0F, 10, 11…etc. 
 
Sensor RS-485 ID numbers are factory default to 01.  These can be changed in the field via the Operator Interface 
described in Section 3.5.5 Set Serial ID. 
 
The following section explains the details of the Modbus™ protocol that the DM-700 sensor supports.   
 
Code 03 - Read Holding Registers is the only code supported by the transmitter.  Each transmitter contains 6 
holding registers which reflect its current status.
