Sentry Sample Sentry II 41
Appendix A - MODBUS
Multiple Sample Sentry II controllers can communicate with a PC or control system via
MODBUS over a half duplex (2-wire), RS-485 network.
Figure 28 shows the MODBUS setup screen on the Sample Sentry II.

Address1
BAUD 9600 bps
Each device on the network must be assigned a unique address. The address for each
Sample Sentry II can be in the range of 1 to 247. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to change the
address setting. Use the ENTER key to toggle between the address setting and the BAUD
setting.
The controller is capable of operating using a BAUD rate of 19.2 kbps or 9600 bps. To
change the BAUD rate use the ▲ and ▼ keys.
The communications port uses 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. The MODBUS mode is
RTU. These parameters cannot be changed.
