CONFIGURATION AND MEASUREMENT
The configuration of the instrument and the reading of the measurements can be done
via the RS485 serial output, both with the proprietary protocol and with the MODBUS-
RTU protocol.
In the first 10 seconds after the instrument power on, it is always active the proprie-
tary protocol. After 10 seconds from power on, the operating protocol is activated,
which by default is the MODBUS-RTU protocol.
It is possible to keep the proprietary protocol active even after 10 seconds from power on
by sending, before the 10 seconds expire, the command
@
of the proprietary protocol.
The proprietary protocol can be set as operating protocol by means of the DP0 command.
By default, the instrument has MODBUS address
1
and communication parameters
19200, 8E1. Different parameters can be set using the proprietary protocol or the
MODBUS-RTU protocol.
The commands of the proprietary protocol and the registers of the MODBUS-RTU pro-
tocol are described in detail in the following chapters.
Analog output:
The output is current or voltage depending on the configuration of the IOUT / VOUT
jumper on the board. By default, the current output is 4...20 mA and the voltage out-
put is 0...1, 0...5 V or 0...10 V depending on the model.
The analog output is preset to correspond to the pressure range 600…1100 hPa.
Using the proprietary protocol or the MODBUS-RTU protocol it is possible:
•
to associate the analog output to a different pressure range, within the full
measuring range;
•
to add/remove an offset to the output minimum value (e.g., change from 0…10 V
to 2…10 V or from 4…20 mA to 0…20 mA);
•
to reverse the direction of the output, so that the output decreases as the meas-
urement increases.
In the event of a measurement error, the output goes to a value 10% higher than the
full scale (e.g., 11 V if the output is 0...10 V or 22 mA if the output is current).
Status of the transmitter:
The transmitter version with LCD option has two front LEDs: the
green
LED indicates
the presence of the external power supply (blinks once per second), the
red
LED indi-
cates the presence of any measurement errors (normally off, it blinks twice per sec-
ond if in error).
