 Scanners 

Instruction Manual 

 

Introduction 

The Helios PD2-6080 and PD2-6081 Large Display 
Modbus

®

 Scanners are multi-purpose, easy to use, 

digital scanners that can be programmed as a 
Modbus RTU Master, Slave, or Snooper. They feature 
large 1.8 inch superluminous LED digits, which can 
be read in direct sunlight from up to 100 feet away, 
and are capable of scanning up to 16 variables 
generated by any Modbus device. The PD2-6080 
displays in decimal format, while the PD2-6081 has a 
feet & inches display. They are housed in a water-
resistant, field mountable NEMA 4X/IP65 rated 
enclosure for convenient indoor or outdoor 
installation. 

The programming buttons are located behind the 
lower panel door and are not generally accessible 
during operation. For that reason, we recommend the 
use of the PDA2364-MRUE remote control station 
which has four buttons to mimic the buttons behind 
the panel. 

In master mode, the Helios reads up to 16 slave 
devices, scales the data from each, displays the result, 
and operates the internal relays and 4-20 mA output. 
The scanners are capable of polling up to 16 process 
variables (PVs) and displaying them in sequence at a 
user programmable scan rate. They also allow other 
Helios Modbus Scanners in snooper mode to read any 
of the variables being polled by the master. As a 
snooper, the scanners listen to the Modbus traffic and 
pick up a specific register or registers being polled by a 
master device from a specific slave device and process 
the data being read. In slave mode, they are controlled 
by a master device. The data sent to them by the 
master is scaled, displayed, and used to operate the 
relays and 4-20 mA output. 

The Helios PD2-6080 and PD2-6081 come equipped 
with dual analog input channels (4-20 mA and/or  
0-10 VDC) for use in Master mode. These can be 
assigned to mA or volts by mapping a PV to the 
internal scanner addresses 256-259, depending on 
the desired function.  

Various math functions may be applied to the Modbus 
and analog inputs including addition, difference, 
absolute difference, average, weighted average, 
multiplication, division, minimum, maximum, draw, 
ratio, and concentration. This is in addition to the input 
signal conditioning functions (linear, square root, 
programmable exponent, or round horizontal tank 
calculations). The displays, relays, and the analog 
outputs may be assigned to PVs or to math channels 
C1, C2, C3, or C4. The digital inputs/outputs can be 
custom-programmed for specific operations. 

A fully loaded Helios PD2-6080 or PD2-6081 scanner 
comes with four SPDT relays, a 4-20 mA output, two 
24 VDC power supplies, five digital inputs and four 
digital outputs, and RS-485 serial communications. 

Free ScanView software allows the Helios Modbus 
Scanner to be accessed via a computer. Configure 
multiple scanners, conveniently monitor critical 
information, and data log right from a PC with ease, 
further increasing plant efficiency.
