Software

Examples of free Bronkhorst® DDE client applications: FlowPlot and FlowView. Other software programs (third party)

supporting DDE are for example MS-Office, LabVIEW, InTouch and Wizcon.

Bronkhorst® software applications 'FlowView' (left) and 'FlowPlot' (right)

FlowDDE and other Bronkhorst® applications are available on the support CD or can be downloaded from the product
pages on the Bronkhorst website:

3.4.5

FlowDDE parameter numbers

Reading/changing parameter values via FlowDDE offers the user a different and user-friendly interface to the instrument. A

DDE-parameter number is a unique number in a special FlowDDE instruments/parameter database and not the same as the

parameter number from the process on an instrument. Node-address and process number will be translated by FlowDDE to

a channel number.

An instrument parameter can be changed by using the application name: 'FlowDDE' with only:

topic, used for channel number: 'C(X)'

item, used for parameter number: 'P(Y)'

3.4.6

Baud rate setup

Make sure that the instrument's baud rate corresponds with the baud rate of the application the instrument is

communicating with. For single-channel instruments the selectable baud rates are 9K6, 19k2, 38k4, 57k6 and 115k2 Baud; for

multi-channel instruments the selectable baud rates are 38k4 and 115k2 Baud.

For more information regarding communication through an RS232 interface, consult the

RS232 manual (document no.

9.17.027)

3.5

Basic RS485 operation

This section is limited to the description of the interface between the IQ

FLOW® instrument with a master device. IQ

FLOW®

instruments always serve as slaves in a Modbus system. There is no mutual communication between Modbus slaves; only

between master and slave. The master device is for example a pc.

More detailed information about Modbus can be found at

www.modbus.org

or any website of the (local) Modbus

organisation of your country (when available).
