4. Operation
4.1 RS-485 interface
HMP155 supports a 2-wire RS-485 communication. The RS-485 interface is non-isolated and
offers a maximum communication rate of 19200 bits/s. There is no internal termination for the
RS-485. If any termination is needed, terminate the bus at both ends. The recommended
termination is R termination with 120 Ω resistors.
Typically, termination resistors are only needed when the fastest communications rate
(19200 bit/s) is used for longer distances. If you use resistors, take into account the possible
increase in the current consumption.
4.2 Serial line communication
Connect a USB cable (221040) to the 8-pin connector on the bottom of HMP155. You do not
need a separate power unit, the probe is powered through the USB port.
Before using the USB cable, you must install the USB driver on your PC, see
Installing driver for USB cable (page 37)
Depending on your computer and the environmental conditions, heating and
purge functions may not work properly with the USB cable due to limited USB
powering capability.
HMP155 does not echo typed characters back to the terminal screen. To see the commands
you type, enable the local echo setting in the terminal program.
When HMP155 is sending out data, it cannot receive a new command. Wait until HMP155
completes the response before typing the next command.
In the RUN mode, the sensor may send the measurement data message while you
are typing the
S
command to stop the sending. You may need to repeat the
S
command. Note this when designing how computer programs access HMP155.
You can use the
Esc
button on your keyboard to stop the sending.
