If  load  cell  end  scale  is  equal  to  50kg, tare  is  equal  to  10kg  and  analog  output  scale  range  is 
0..10V, the maximum net weight is  

Max net weight = 50 

– 10 = 40kg 

 

 

When a weight of 40Kg is measured the Analog Output will reach 100% (10 Volts).

Easy-SETUP 

 

Free-downloadable from the www.seneca.it; the  Z-SG/Z-SG-L configuration  and the calibration 
can be performed by RS232 or RS485 bus communication. 

13.

 

Modbus RTU protocol 

 

The Modbus protocol supported by Z-SG I sthe Modbus RTU protocol. 

The RS485 port Modbus parameters can be configured from Modbus or from Dip switches. 

The RS232 COM port parameters are fixed: Baudrate 2400 baud, Parity None, Delay None, Modbus Station 
address 1. 

 
All registers are “Holding register” (Read Modbus function 3) with the convention that the first register is 
the 40001 address (offset 0).  
 
The following Modbus functions are supported:  
 
Read Single Modbus Register (function 3)  
Write Single Modbus Register (function 6)  
Write Multiple Modbus Registers (function 16)  
All values in 32bits are stored into 2 consecutive registers, for example:  
 
Net Weight in floating point 32 bits is stored into registers 40064 and 40065, the most significant word is 
the register 40064, the less significant word is the 40065 (default). 
 
So the 32bits value is obtained by the following relation: 
NetWeight=

𝑅𝑒𝑔

40064+(

𝑅𝑒𝑔

40065×2^16)=

𝑅𝑒𝑔

40064+(

𝑅𝑒𝑔

40065 ×65536) 

 
For the floating point values the Z-SG-L model can Swap the Most significant  word with the Less significant 
word. 
 

For more information about  this protocol please refer  to  Modbus specification website:
