Device ID
- Configures the device (slave) ID to be used on RS-485 interface protocols (Modbus
RTU or HS). Both protocols use request/response format and allow multiple instruments to be
connected on the same bus. When a remote master transmits the request message, it will use the
device ID as a device address. All instruments will receive the request, but only the instrument with
the matching device ID will answer to the received request.
#set_can_id=<0-99>
Modbus settings
- Configures the parity and number of stop bits used in communication. Parity
is used in serial communication for basic error detection. When parity is set to
None
, no parity is
used, and no error detection is possible on bit level. When parity is set to
Odd parity
, an additional
bit is added to the communication that will be set to 1 when there is an odd number of bits with
value 1 in the 8-bit payload byte. Similarly, when parity is set to
Even parity
, an additional bit
is added to the communication that will be set to 1 when there is an even number of bits with
value 1 in the 8-bit payload byte. Generally, all bytes on the receiver side where the parity bit
is not matching the message will be discarded. The default setting on most devices that use
Modbus is even parity. Stop bits are added to the end of each data byte transferred over serial
communication, to allow pause between two bytes. One or two stop bits can be used. The default
setting is even parity and one stop bit.
Warm up time
- The time after sensor power-up, during which all measurements are ignored.
This time is used to settle auto-gain parameters, Kalman filter values, averaging filter, and all other
operational parameters. It is recommended to set this value to a minimum of 5 seconds. In extreme
cases where a quick response after unit power-up is required, 3 seconds can be used, with a
possibility of losing measurement accuracy.
#set_485_modbus_type=0 (no parity, one stop bit)
#set_485_modbus_type=1 (no parity, two stop bits)
#set_485_modbus_type=2 (event parity, one stop bit (default)
#set_485_modbus_type=3 (odd parity, one stop bit)
#set_dead_time=<3-100>
4 – 20 mA output
- This parameter is used to select the value that will correspond to the 4 – 20 mA
output. When
Velocity
is selected the output current will be proportional to the measured velocity. When
Level
is selected the output current will be proportional to the measured level and when
Discharge
is
selected the output current will be proportional to the calculated discharge. When
None
is selected
4 – 20 mA output will be disabled.

4 – 20 mA min.
– To configure the 4 – 20 mA output range, the minimum measured value which
will correspond to 4 mA analog output needs to be set. The value is set in the currently configured
measurement unit. Example: if values measured by the instrument are expected to be within the
range of 700 mm/s up to 1500 mm/s, it is recommended to configure the minimum value to slightly
below 700 mm/s (for example 500 mm/s). Alternatively, if the resolution is not critical, then the
minimum value for 4 – 20 mA output can be left to the instrument minimum of 0 mm/s.
