1.7.4 Setting Up Communications
The Model GF868 flowmeter can transmit stored data and displayed readings to a remote ANSI terminal or a personal
computer by connecting the meter’s RS232 interface to the serial port of the PC. In addition, the Model GF868 can
receive and execute remote commands via this link. The meter can also be configured with a MODBUS option card for
MODBUS (RS485) communications, a Foundation Fieldbus option card for Foundation Fieldbus communications or
with a MODBUS/TCP option card for MODBUS communications over the Ethernet, if desired.
Note:
To set Fieldbus communications parameters, see Appendix D,
Foundation Fieldbus Communications
.
Use the
COMM
submenu to set the RS232, MODBUS, Ethernet and MODBUS/TCP communications port parameters
and to enter a network identification number. A network identification number is required to use the GE
Instrument
Data Manager
or
PanaView
software. To program the
COMM
submenu, press
[F4]
at the initial
Global PROGRAM
screen
and complete the following steps. Refer to the menu map in Figure 13 on page 89.
1.
Use the [
and [
and
[F1]-[F4]
keys to select the desired
Baud Rate.
The available rates are 300, 600, 1200,
2400, 4800, 9600 and 19,200 baud.
2.
Use the [
and [
and
[F1]-[F4]
keys to select the number of
UART Bits
.
3.
Enter a
Network ID
number between 1 and 254 and press
[ENT]
. The default number is 1.
A network ID number is only necessary for communication with the GE
Instrument Data Manager™
or
PanaView™
software. See the software
User’s Manual
for more information.
IMPORTANT:
If the network ID number is changed, communication with the
Instrument Data Manager
or
PanaView
must be re-established with the new ID number.
1.7.4a MODBUS (RS485) Parameters
If your GF868 does not include an option card for MODBUS communications, you have completed programming the
COMM submenu. However, if you have installed a MODBUS option card, the following additional prompts appear.
1.
Press
[F1]-[F4]
to select the desired
MODBUS Baud Rate
from four selections: 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19,200.
2.
Press
[F1]-[F3]
to set the
MODBUS Parity
as none, odd or even.
3.
Press
[F1]
to select one
MODBUS Stop Bit
, or
[F2]
to select two stop bits.
4.
Use the numeric keys to enter a
MODBUS Address
(from 1 to 247) and press
[ENT].
1.7.4b MODBUS/TCP Parameters
If your GF868 does not include an option card for MODBUS/TCP communications, you have completed programming
the COMM submenu. However, if you have installed a MODBUS/TCP option card, complete the following steps:
1.
Press
[F3]
to select the appropriate
MODBUS Baud Rate
of 9600.
2.
Press
[F1]-[F3]
to set the
MODBUS Parity
as none, odd or even.
3.
Press
[F1]
to select one
MODBUS Stop Bit
, or
[F2]
to select two stop bits.
4.
Use the numeric keys to enter a
MODBUS Address
(from 1 to 247) and press
[ENT].
