To use the RS-232 or RS-485 digital signal, connect the Output Signal
(Pin 5), the Input Signal (Pin 3), and Ground (Pin 8) to your serial port as
shown below. See
for details on serial communication and
how to use the data connection to issue commands.
Analog Signals
Primary Analog Output Signal
Most devices include a primary analog output signal, which is linear over
its entire range. For ranges that start at 0 Vdc, a zero-pressure condition
is indicated at approximately 0.010 Vdc. Full scale pressure is indicated
by the top of the range: 5 Vdc for 0–5 Vdc, 20 mA for 4–20 mA signals,
and so on. Communication protocols that eliminate analog outputs include
DeviceNet, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, and PROFIBUS.
Secondary Analog Output Signal
You may specify an optional second analog output at the time of order.
This output may be 0–5 V, 1-5 V, 0–10 V, or 4–20 mA and can represent
any measured parameter. Since pressure is the only measured parameter
in the pressure series, this secondary analog output can be used as a
comparison to the primary analog output.
