Instrument address for optional serial communications
Display:
Addr
Range:
0
to
31
Default Value:
0
Set unit address for polled (
POLL
) or
M.buS
mode (
0
to
31
)) - seen only with serial output option.
Refer to the separate “RM4 Din Rail Meter Optional Output Addendum” booklet supplied when
optional outputs are fitted. Allows several units to operate on the same RS485 interface reporting
on different areas etc.
The host computer or PLC may poll each unit in turn supplying the
appropriate address. The unit address ranges from 0 to 31 (DEC) but is offset by 32 (DEC) to
avoid clashing with ASCII special function characters (such as
<
STX
>
and
<
CR
>
). Therefore 32
(DEC) or 20 (HEX) is address 0, 42 (DEC) or 2A (HEX) is address 10. Do not use address 0 in
M.buS
mode.

” - This display indicates that the input signal is higher than the maximum rated input.
Check the input links to ensure that the correct range is selected and then if necessary check the
input voltage.
“

” - This display indicates an overrange reading. This means that the instrument is not able
to display the number because it is too large to fit on to the display e.g. above 99999. Check that
the calibration scaling figures are correct. Alternatively this message can be seen if either the
