• The new sensor is physically connected to the EK80 using a serial or network cable.
The sensor is turned on and in normal operation.
Neither tools nor instruments are required.
Context
The
Sensor Installation
page allows your EK80 to communicate with external sensors
and systems. You must specify which communication port to use (LAN (Local Area
Network) or serial port). You can type a custom name to identify the sensor import. In
the list of valid datagram formats, select the format(s) to be accepted by the EK80.
Note
Just making changes and selecting
OK
at the bottom of the page will not install anything.
Select what to install, define the relevant parameters, and then select
Add
.
Communication with the sound speed sensor is based on proprietary datagrams.
Procedure
1
Connect the sound speed sensor to an available serial communication port on your
Processor Unit.
This is described in the
Cable layout and interconnections
chapter. Observe the
applicable requirements related to cabling. Make sure that the total length of the
serial line cable does not exceed approximately 50 meters. If a longer cable is
required, you may need to use buffer amplifiers.
If the Processor Unit is not fitted with a suitable serial line connector, use a
USB-to-serial converter. Several types are commercially available. Note that most
USB-to-serial converters will introduce some latency. They may also introduce
be jitter in the communication. The amount of jitter depends on the quality of
the converter.
