Baud rate setup
EL-FLOW® Prestige
instruments support the following baud rates for RS232 communication. The factory selected baud rate
is indicated on the serial number label. See section
for changing the baud rate settings for the
instrument. The default baud rate for RS232 communication is 38400 Baud.
Mode:
Digital
Interface/medium:
RS232
Protocol:
FLOW-BUS (ProPar)
Baud rate:
9600
16200
38400
57600
115200
230400
460800
Node address:
3
Parity:
None
Make sure that the instrument’s baud rate corresponds with the baud rate of the application the instrument is
communicating with, otherwise no communication can be established.
For RS232 communication, the maximum cable length is 10 m for baud rates up to 38400 Baud. For higher baud rates,
use cable lengths of maximum 3 m.
For more information regarding communication through an RS232 interface, see
document 9.17.027
