6.5: Programming the Transducer or Meter Using Software
As mentioned in the beginning of the chapter, you must program the Shark® 100T/
100BT transducer using communication and software. You can also configure the
Shark® 100/100B/50 meter this way.
6.5.1: Accessing the Transducer/Meter in Default Communication
Mode (RS485 Communication)
You can connect to the Shark® transducer or meter in Default communication mode if
you are using the RS485 port. This feature is useful in debugging or if you do not
know the meter's programmed settings and want to find them. For 5 seconds after
the Shark® transducer or meter is powered up, you can use the RS485 port with
Default communication mode to poll the Name Register. You do this by connecting to
the transducer/meter with the following default settings (see Section 6.5.2 on the
next page):
Baud Rate: 9600
Address: 001
Protocol: Modbus RTU
The transducer/meter continues to operate with these default settings for 5 minutes.
During this time, you can access the transducer/meter's Device Profile to ascertain/
change device information. After 5 minutes of no activity, the transducer/meter
reverts to the programmed Device Profile settings.
IMPORTANT! In Normal operating mode the initial factory communication settings
are:
Baud Rate: 57600
Address: 001
Protocol: Modbus RTU
