TXMINI-M12-485 / TXMINI-485 TRANSMITTER 

OPERATING MANUAL – V1.0x I 

INTRODUCTION  

TxMini-M12-485

 is a compact temperature transmitter with internal 

connection to temperature sensors Pt100. It consists of an 

electronic circuit encapsulated and a M12 connection for power 

and RS485 communication, which includes the screw thread for 

closing the sensor output. 
You should use an RS485 interface with Modbus RTU commands 

to configure the transmitter. The 

DigiConfig

  software for 

Windows® allows you to configure all features of the transmitter as 

well as its diagnosis, and the possibility of using other Supervisory 

software for configuration and reading of the information provided 

by the device.

- Default parameter values for 

TxMini-M12-485

 

When you use the transmitter with default configuration, none 

intervention is required and its installation can be performed 

immediately. When a change in the configuration parameters is 

necessary, you can do it using 

DigiConfig

  software.  You can 

download the configuration software freely from the manufacturer's 

website. To install it run the "

DigiConfigSetup.exe

" file and follow 

the installer´s instructions.
