5.2.5 Communications
Port A
The port configuration lets you configure how the RS232 communica-
tion port (terminal 5/6/7) will be used:
• Modbus
®
RTU (default)
• Remote Menu (remote control)
• Primo 3.x (emulation of the Primo interface)
• Flow Diagnostic
• Disable Port (deactivate port )
The function Modbus RTU allows access to a ModBus
®
address that
can be configured from 1 to 247 in the menu “Port A Address“.
The Remote Menu will check for display updates once a second. If a
change is detected, the display contents will be transmitted in ASCII
format over the RS232 communication port. If a suitable PC program is
used, the display cannot only be displayed on the PC but the counter
can also be configured.
Primo 3.x is the emulation of the former Primo amplifier interface.
Flow Diagnostic is a service tool that allows Badger Meter to acquire
data from the device about the flow velocity measurements. When
enabled, every flow velocity measurement is transmitted in ASCII form
out the serial port and can be logged on a PC with a special program
(hyperterminal or similar). These data can be analysed by the service.

Requests will only be processed if the configured port
