Digital communication 
 
HART® communication 
 
Note 
The HART® protocol is not secure, as such the intended 
application should be assessed to ensure that these protocols 
are suitable before implementation. 
 
In connection with the DTM (Device Type Manager) available to 
the device, communication (configuration, parameterization) 
can be carried out FDT 0.98 or 1.2 (DSV401 R2). 
Other tool or system integrations (e.g. Emerson AMS / Siemens 
PCS7) on request. 
The necessary DTMs and other files can be downloaded from 
www.abb.com/flow.

Modbus® communication 
 
Note 
The Modbus® protocol are not secure, as such the intended 
application should be assessed to ensure that these protocols 
are suitable before implementation. 
 
Modbus is an open standard owned and administrated by an 
independent group of device manufacturers styled the Modbus 
Organization (www.modbus.org). 
Using the Modbus protocol allows devices made by different 
manufacturers to exchange information via the same 
communication bus, without the need for any special interface 
devices to be used. 
 
Modbus protocol 
Terminals V1 / V2 
Configuration  Via the Modbus interface or via the local operating 
interface in connection with Asset Vision Basic 
(DAT200) and a corresponding Device Type Manager
(DTM) 
Transmission  Modbus RTU - RS485 serial connection 
Baud rate  2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 56000, 57600, 
115200 baud 
Factory setting: 9600 baud 
Parity None, even, odd

IEEE format  Little endian, big endian 
Factory setting: Little endian 
Typical response time  < 100 ms 
Response delay time  0 to 200 milliseconds 
Factory setting: 10 milliseconds
