Write functions:
Writing values to the following registers allows the specific gravity and alarm set points to be
modified remotely. Note that writing to these registers will update the configuration of the
LevelCom 100.
The normal value of these registers is 0. A non-zero value in one of these registers causes
the LevelCom to update the internal configuration, and after this is done, the LevelCom
writes a 0 value back to the register. This return to 0 can be used as a signal that the
operation is complete.
40012 Specific Gravity Specific Gravity x 1000
40013 HiHi Alarm HiHi alarm set point in 0.1 inches
40014 Hi Alarm Hi alarm set point in 0.1 inches
40015 Lo Alarm Lo alarm set point in 0.1 inches
40016 LoLo Alarm LoLo alarm set point in 0.1 inches
Setting the following coil bits triggers the actions as noted. When the action is initiated by the
LevelCom 100 the coil is cleared and reset to "0".
00001 Purge Now Triggers the purge cycle
00002 Sample Now Forces a new level sample
00003 Acknowledge Allows remote acknowledge for alarm and fault conditions
00004 Restart Restarts the LevelCom
Notes:
Base units and Big Number
Level and volume are stored in the LevelCom 100 in specific base units. These values are
scaled for display on the LevelCom 100 based on the desired output units. The Modbus data
is given only in the base units and must be converted by the user application.
Level is reported by the LevelCom 100 in 0.1 inches. The conversion factors for the other
units available in the LevelCom 100 are as follows:
Feet = 0.1 inches / 120
Centimeters = 0.1 inches x .254
Meters = 0.1 inches x .00254
Volume is reported by the LevelCom 100 in two possible base units. You must check the Big
Number flag in output register 10005. If this coil is set then the base output units are full
liters, if the flag is not set the output units are in 0.1 liters. This flag will only be set if an
extraordinarily large volume or weight value is input into the Tank Table during the
programming of the LevelCom 100. The default condition is Big Number = 0, volume
reported in 0.1 liters.
