a. Confirm that the communication mode has been set to Modbus.
b. Clear existing entries on the table by clicking
Del Sel
.
c. Click on
Add Node
to add a new sensor to the string. Ensure the right
sensor type and version have been selected.
d. Click on the
Serial
column and enter the last 5 digits of the serial
number of the first sensor in the string.
e. Repeat Steps c and d until all sensors in the string have been
entered.
f. Confirm that the serial numbers of the sensors are entered in the
same order they will be installed.
g. Click on
Verify Nodes
to ensure that each sensor in the string is able
to communicate with the logger.
4. Enable
Eng Units
to record the data in specific Engineering Units. Enter the
appropriate parameters.
5. Once the desired parameters are set, click the
Upload to Logger
button to
apply the changes
. Click “Yes” when asked to update Modbus Addresses.
6. Wait for update process to finish. The logger is now logging data.
7. If desired, real time sensor readings can be monitored by selecting the
Monitor
tab.
