FLOW-BUS
FLOW-BUS is a Bronkhorst® designed fieldbus, based on RS485 technology, for digital communication between devices,
offering the possibility of host-control by a Windows computer.
Characteristics:
·
Baud rate 187500 (default) or 400000 Baud
·
+15…24 Vdc supply voltage
·
Easy installation and communication with other Bronkhorst® devices
·
Automatic node search and bus optimization (gap fixing)
·
RS232 communication (
) with Windows computer (local host)
·
Connection of up to 120 instruments on a single bus
·
Maximum bus length: 600 m
Consult
Instruction manual FLOW-BUS interface
(document no. 9.17.024) for more information about setting up a
FLOW-BUS network.

for information about the built-in bus termination resistor.
Modbus
Modbus is a 3-wire, RS485-based fieldbus communication system for parameter value exchange. In this system each
instrument/device is equipped with a micro-controller for its own dedicated task. The instrument behaves as a slave, which
means all communication (instructions and readout) is initiated by a master device on the Modbus system.
Characteristics:
·
Baud rate selectable between 9600 and 256000 Baud (default: 19200 Baud)
·
+15…24 Vdc supply voltage
·
Connection of up to 247 instruments on a single bus
·
Supports RTU and ASCII protocols
