8.3.2 Simple Communication
The AccUView LED can provide basic communications over simple programs such as the
Hilgraeve HyperTerminal that is included with most Microsoft Windows packages. The
user could also use Visual Basic or other programs. The default communication
parameters are 8 bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. These parameters may be changed in the
extended
CONFIG
menu.
The master computer will send out:
•
Byte #1 the attention character “
:
” in ASCII or
3A
Hex
•
Byte #2 the address of the AccUView LED being queried
•
Byte #3 & 4 CR LF or 0D 0A in hex
The AccUView LED will respond with:
•
The same attention character “
:
” in ASCII or
3A
Hex
•
The address of the AccUView LED
•
The Reading
•
The Unit (% T or ABS )
A sample communication would look like this:
(Master computer requesting a report from address #1)
: 1 CRLF
(AccUView LED set to address #1 Response)
:001 97.4 %T
8.3.3 Modbus Communication
Modbus communications is fully operational if the RS-485 option (Catalog #19851A) is
installed. The Modbus protocol communication information is covered in a separate
manual, Catalog #24570 and is available as a free download from our website at
8.4 AccUView LED with Flow Alarm (Model 28042)
This model of the AccUView LED has flow switch installed.
There is an additional menu in the configuration which gives you
the selection of ON or OFF.
A “Low Flow” occurs under 1 Liter/minute and if the flow alarm is
enabled will cause a screen indication. The flow alarm can act on
both the relays and the 4-20mA. Either relay, if set to Error will
change to an alarm state and the 4-20 mA signal will change o 0, 2
or 4 mA (selected by ERLV) unless it is set to OFF. A modbus
register is also set. This alarm takes 2-
½
minutes of low flow to
actuate or restore. Please note that the flow alarm is not sold as an
option and cannot be added.
8.5 Remote Panel Meter (Catalog # 19609)
The remote panel meter allows for remote indication of the % T or ABS reading using the
4-20 mA loop. No external power is required as the meter is run off of the 4-20 mA
source.
