The Instrument ID screen allows the operator to edit the instrument
identification number (ID). The ID is used to identify the instrument
when using the C-Link or MODBUS protocols to control the instrument
or collect data. It may be necessary to edit the ID number if two or more of
the same instrument are connected to one computer. Valid instrument ID
numbers are from 0 to 127.

The Communication Protocol screen is used to select the communication
protocol used for serial communications. Possible settings are C-link,
streaming, and MODBUS.
C-link Protocol
- C-link is a bi-directional protocol that provides access to
all instrument functions including reading analog values or variables,
reading the status of the digital outputs of the instrument, and triggering or
simulating the activation of a digital input to the instrument. Refer to
Appendix B for detailed C-link information.
Streaming Protocol
- The streaming protocol provides a one-way reporting
capability in which data records are exported to a serial device on a regular
basis without prompting.
MODBUS protocol
– The MODBUS protocol is a serial communications
protocol that allows for communication between devices connected to the
same network.
The MODBUS protocol support for the Partisol 2000
i
and 2000
i
-D
enables the user to read analog values or variables, read the status of the
digital outputs of the instrument, and to trigger or simulate the activation
of a digital input to the instrument. Refer to “MODBUS Protocol” on
page C-1 for detailed MODBUS protocol information.
