6.2.1 Configuring the Sensor to use an Industrial Protocol
Use the following instructions to enable the Modbus TCP protocol or the EtherNet/IP protocol on the ZMX sensor.
1. Go to the
Communications
pane in the Banner 3D Configuration software.
Figure 43. Communications Pane
2. From the
Industrial Protocol
menu, select the desired protocol.
A sensor reboot may be required.
3. Click
Live Protocol Map
to open a view of the data.

6.2.2 Using Input Bits
Writeable Coil Bits are inputs to the sensor (outputs from the PLC or HMI). They are used for basic control of the sensor.
Toggle them from 0 to 1, one at a time, to request the associated action. Each bit has a corresponding ACK Output bit that
changes to 1 in response, to indicate that the action has been completed. The ACK bits reset to 0 when the command bit is
reset to 0.
The Input bits can be found in Holding Register 1 or as Coils 00001–00016.
The ACK bits can be found in Input Register 1, Holding Register 1001, or as Inputs 10001–10016.
Update ROI Parameters
—This action tells the sensor to take all of the new bin fill parameters, as a group, and apply
them to the sensor.
1. Enter the desired PLC Output values for all bin fill parameters:
•
Fill Level Setpoint (Holding Register 21)
•
Peak Height Limit Setpoint (Holding Register 23)
•
Discrete Output 1 Control Mode (Holding Register 25)
•
Discrete Output 2 Control Mode (Holding Register 26)
•
ROI Anchor Point X (Holding Register 27)
•
ROI Anchor Point Y (Holding Register 28)
•
ROI Anchor Point Z (Holding Register 29)
