Setup in Modbus

Steps to deploying your sensor using Modbus communication

  1. Connect sensor to power and control system.
  2. Select correct com port.
  3. Select Baudrate = 57600 (default setting), Data = 8,N,1 (8 Bit, 0 Parity, 1 Stop Bit).
  4. Your sensor should arrive already set up in Modbus mode if specified on order. However, this can easily be done in terminal mode via anb_utils, or via the modbus admin function.
  5. Set-up the sensor with it's measurement settings. This can be done in terminal mode via anb_utils or via modbus measurement setting functions.
  6. Once the measurement settings are applied, use the modbus command functions to start/stop the sensor.
  7. To call the data, use the modbus measurement output functions.
  8. A specific command is available for read-only Modbus data loggers.
tip

The modbus address is set to 0x55, but can be user configured via anb_utils or the modbus admin function

All data is big endian

On closing anb_utils the sensor will automatically return to modbus interface
