RSS-2-300W Non-Contact Surface Velocity Radar

Data Interface
Geolux RSS-2-300W surface velocity radar offers multiple data interfaces, in order to make the
integration of the device with existing SCADA/telemetry systems easy.
6.1. Serial RS-232 Interface
Serial RS-232 interface is used for direct connection of a single surface velocity radar unit with
the computer. The serial interface is used both for retrieving live flow measurements and for
configuration of the surface velocity radar device. Geolux provides a PC application for unit
configuration and flow monitoring free of charge.
Default communication parameters are:
Bitrate:
9600 bps
Data bits:
8
Stop bits:
1
Parity:
None.
A NMEA-like communication protocol is used to deliver flow measurements over RS-232 interface.
Detailed description of the protocol is given in the Chapter 7 of this user manual.
6.2. Serial RS-485 Interface
Serial RS-485 interface is used for connecting multiple surface velocity radars to a single data
logger. RS-485 interface uses a different protocol then the protocol used over RS-232 interface,
in order to allow multiple surface velocity radars connected on a single RS-485 bus. The main
difference from the protocol used over RS-232 interface is that the flow measurements are not
reported automatically, but are instead reported only after being requested by the master device
(data logger unit). Detailed description of the protocol is given in the Chapter 7 of this user manual.
Default communication parameters are:
Bitrate:
9600 bps
Data bits:
8
Stop bits:
1
Parity:
None.
