Appendix B
RS-485 Output
The sensor module uses an RS-485 serial interface with Modbus
protocol. To communicate to the RS-485 output via a computer
interface, an isolated RS-485 converter (such as P/N 10014359) should
be used. The baud rate is 19,200 baud with RTU format sent. Each byte
has eight bits with no parity and two stop bits. Each exchange has a
two-byte CRC 16 check value.
The sensor unit has an ID range of 100 - 107. The dip switch positions
1 through 3 are binary encoded and read on startup.
