For a single FG-SYS detection unit:
4.9. DB9 RS232 serial cable between the FG-SYS and PC
For several FG-SYS detection units or when the distance between the PC and the FG-SYS detection
unit is greater than 100 meters:
4.10. RS232/RS422 or RS485 converter
4.11. DB9/DB25 RS232 serial cable between the converter and the PC
4.12. RS422 or RS485 cable (120 Ohms) between the converter and (or) plant (s) FG-SYS
5. JBUS Communication
The integration on the FG-SYS JBUS/MODBUS protocol Digital Units permits the supervision of the
current status of all connected sense cables. The two types of alarms – leak and cable break – are
coded using different flags and the location is represented in metres.
Following the creation of new features, a new Modbus Table has been created for the FG-SYS;
however former Modbus Table has been retained in parallel for compatibility reasons.
The former Modbus Table can be found in the FG-SYS Digital Unit documentation.
Physical connection
The information provided by the Digital Unit can be exploited in different ways:
- Modbus TCP (Modbus over IP) port 502.
