NOTe:  The electronic pressure reducing valve relays are energized relays and thus recommended 
normally open.

TAbLE 2:  4-20 Output designations

NOTe:  All outputs must also be wired to the appropriate V- (GND) terminal.

 

  4.3  Modbus Information

 

  The VPH-10000 can also communicate with a SCADA system using Modbus RS-485 communication.  

The baud rate, node number and data format of the VPH-10000 must match that of the master SCADA 
system.  See Section III.5 for information on how to accesses and edit these features.  A table of 
Modbus integers and their corresponding parameters can be seen in Table 3.  For more information 
on configuring Hydro Instruments equipment onto SCADA systems, please refer to the Modbus 
Installation and Instruction manual.
