Questions and Answers

    Why is communication intermittent with the Lon Talk network on my Onicon D-100 Measuring Instruments?
    • A
      Antonio VillarrealAug 14, 2025
      If your Onicon Measuring Instruments device is intermittently communicating with the Lon Talk network: * Check if the network is properly terminated. The Lon TP/FT bus can be terminated in two ways: a single RC filter at any point on a free topology network or a dual termination scheme with two RC filters at the ends of bus networks. * Verify that the correct cable type is used. TP/FT networks should only use twisted shielded pair cable, such as Belden 85102 or equivalent.

    Why won't my Onicon Measuring Instruments communicate with the network controller?
    • S
      Sarah MyersAug 18, 2025
      A possible cause is duplicate addresses, which can cause devices on the network to stop working. To resolve this, ensure that each device on the network has a unique address. Also, the RS485 network cable connections are polarity sensitive and must be connected the same way on every device. Shield drain connections should be daisy chained in the same manner as the signal cables for RS485. The maximum number of devices allowed on a RS485 network segment without a repeater is 32. RS485 cable impedance should be matched to a termination resistor at the end of the cable.

    What to do if network communications are disrupted when connecting Onicon D-100?
    • D
      Darrell WilliamsAug 21, 2025
      The issue might be due to polarity-sensitive RS485 network cable connections; ensure they're connected consistently on every device (i.e., + to + and - to -). Another cause could be duplicate addresses; a unique address is required for each device on the network. Also, check that shield drain connections are daisy-chained in the same way as the signal cables for RS485.

    Why is connecting my Onicon Monitor disrupting network communications?
    • M
      Mia HernandezAug 28, 2025
      Disruptions may occur if the RS485 network cable connections are not consistently connected with the correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) on every device. Another cause could be address conflicts; ensure each device has a unique address, as duplicate addresses can cause network issues. For TCP/IP networks, a unique IP address is required for each device; duplicate addresses will cause multiple devices to respond to the same poll, disrupting network communications. Also, make sure that shield drain connections are daisy chained and unterminated at the cable end, connected to earth only at the network master controller, and not connected to the RS485 connector.

    What to do if there are time out errors when polling Onicon Monitor?
    • W
      William RayAug 31, 2025
      Time out errors during device polling can occur due to several reasons. Polling for invalid registers will slow the response time. Valid integer registers range from 40001 to 40068, and floating point registers range from 41003 to 41081. Resetting totals, which requires writing to a register, takes longer than reading and can also cause time out issues. Temporarily extend the allowable delay to see if the problem goes away.

    What to do if Onicon Monitor has time out errors when polling the device (MODBUS RS485 or MODBUS TCP/IP)?
    • S
      Shelly EdwardsSep 4, 2025
      If time out errors occur when polling the Onicon Monitor (MODBUS RS485 or MODBUS TCP/IP), consider the following: 1. Check which registers are being polled. Polling for invalid registers can slow the response time. Valid integer registers range from 40001-40068, and valid floating-point registers range from 41003-41081. 2. Resetting totals requires the network controller to write a 1 to a register in our device, which takes longer than reading registers and can lead to time out issues. Temporarily extend the allowable delay to see if the problem goes away.

    What to do if the displayed flow rate is too high or too low on Onicon D-100?
    • M
      Matthew WiseSep 7, 2025
      If the displayed flow rate on your Onicon Measuring Instruments is too high or too low, start by verifying the pipe size. If it differs from the calibration tag, contact Onicon. For insertion meters, ensure correct insertion using a depth gauge and that the flow meter electronics enclosure is parallel with the pipe. For dual turbine meters, confirm that both turbines are producing pulses. Also, check the turbines for any debris and verify the supply voltages to both the display and the flow meter.

    How to troubleshoot no flow signal on Onicon turbine meters?
    • V
      Victor SmithSep 10, 2025
      If you're not getting a flow signal from your Onicon turbine meter while the hydronic system is active, check the following: * Verify the 24 VDC supply voltage to the flow meter. * For insertion meters, ensure the flow meter is correctly inserted into the pipe, using a depth gauge, and that the flow meter electronics enclosure is parallel with the pipe. * Verify correct wiring to the flow meter, referring to the wiring diagram. * Check the turbines for clogging due to debris. * Confirm that flow is actually present in the line. Note: Flow meter function cannot be verified by blowing on the turbines, as the sensing system requires a conductive liquid to operate. Test it by swirling it in water and looking for the flow indicator LED to flash at the D-100.

    How to fix Onicon Monitor not communicating with network controller?
    • K
      Katie RobersonNov 24, 2025
      First, check if the receive LED is flashing on the network board, which indicates network traffic. If not, inspect for an open network cable. Also, verify if the transmit LED is flashing when the device responds to a poll. Ensure each device has a unique address to avoid conflicts. Confirm that the RS485 network cable connections are correctly connected with the correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) on each device. The Baud rate setting must match the network Baud rate. Make sure that shield drain connections are daisy chained and unterminated at the cable end, connected to earth only at the network master controller, and not connected to the RS485 connector. For RS485 networks, ensure you haven't exceeded the maximum of 32 devices without a repeater and that the RS485 cable impedance is ma...
