MODBUS
Ethernet versions of the KMPS support MODBUS/TCP. BY sending the correct packets to
port 502 it is possible to read all the available pressure data as well as read and write all of
the set-up registers. See APPENDIX D for a memory map of all available registers. Some
registers may not have meaning for the KMPS.
4 Using the KMPS
The KMPS was designed to meet the needs of many different users. It is easy to set up and
use quickly by connecting it to an RS-485 bus, Ethernet network or analog data acquisition
system. However it also has the capability to stream high speed data as well as perform
triggered data acquisition to allow for data correlation with other sensors.
4.1
Modes
The KMPS has seven different modes to allow access to its various features. To switch
between modes the MOde command is used. The scanner will default to analog mode upon
startup. However if the MOde command is followed by a DEfault (ie MO DE PR) then this
mode becomes the default for future start-up.
ANalog
– Analog output mode. Digital data may be polled using P or I commands. Analog
output is controlled using the multiplexer pins
NOrmal
- Digital output mode. No analog output. Digital data may be polled or streamed out
using the STream command.
TRigger
– Trigger mode with automatic output. No analog output. Digital data is immediately
output upon a trigger input. Data is output in same format as streamed data.
POlled
– Trigger mode with polled output. No analog output. Digital data is only updated
upon a trigger input and must be polled.
STream
– Streaming Output. No analog output. Digital data is automatically output upon
startup for Ethernet KMPS. There is no streaming mode for RS-485 to avoid tying up the bus
permanently.
DElay
– Delayed streaming Output. No analog output. Digital data is automatically output 30
seconds after startup. Delayed streaming mode may only be set as the default (MOde DEfault
DElay)
PRogramming
- User programming mode. Allows limited access to programming registers
for data rate, gain, offset, etc.
4.2
Data Output Format
Depending on the speed at which the KMPS is acquiring data there are several different output
formats that can be selected using the FOrmat command. If the data is polled using the
PRessure command then the data is sent out using a full ASCII format in engineering units
