6. DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS
The 480H comes equipped with digital communications capability that can be
connected to a computer or digital data acquisition system (DAS). See Section for
configuration information. There is a serial communications connector that can be
configured for RS-232 or RS-485 and an Ethernet connector that uses Ethernet 10
Mbit standard. All three use the standardized MODBUS protocol (see Section 6.3
for register maps).
The connectors can be used for data acquisition, alarm triggering, and instrument
configuration. All the functions that are available at the front panel of the instrument
can also be performed over the digital communications standards.
6.1. ETHERNET CONFIGURATION
Once an Ethernet cable is connected (Section 3.4.5.1), the instrument should be
functioning with a dynamic IP address by default. To configure with a static
connection, use the front panel control keys (Section 5.1.2) to navigate to the
Setup>Comm>Ethernet>IP mode menu. If you don’t know what the IP Address,
Mask, or Gateway values should be, consult with your IT Administrator first.
