Sensor configuration
Some sensors require configuration before they can be connected to VPVision. Read the sensor's
manual for more information.
Modbus devices
A Modbus device needs to have a unique hardware address in it's daisy chain. Every Modbus sensor
in the same daisy chain requires this unique Modbus address. But every Modbus sensor in the same
daisy chain also requires equal communication settings like baud rate, parity and stop bits for this
daisy chain.
Analog devices
Analog sensor values will need to be converted in to real measurement values. This is done by zero
and span where zero matches 4mA and span matches 20mA. These numbers can be calculated
during the preparation and will be entered in to VPVision during configuration.
