2.2.3 Communication Parameters and Connections

The digital interface operates via RS485 (optional RS-232 or Profibus DP avail-
able) and provides access to applicable internal data including: flow, CPU tem-
perature reading, auto zero, totalizer and alarm settings, gas table, conversion
factors and engineering units selection, dynamic response compensation and lin-
earization table adjustment.

Communication Settings for RS-485/RS-232 communication interface:

Baud rate:

......................

9600 baud

Stop bit:

......................

1

Data bits:

......................

8

Parity:

......................

None

Flow Control: ......................

None

RS-485 communication interface connection:

The RS485 converter/adapter must be configured for: multidrop, 2 wire, half
duplex mode. The transmitter circuit must be enabled by TD or RTS (depending
on which is available on the converter/adapter). Settings for the receiver circuit
should follow the selection made for the transmitter circuit in order to eliminate
echo.

RS-485 T(-) or R(-)

...................... pin 8 of the 15 pin "D" connector (TX-)

RS-485 T(+) or R(+)

...................... pin 15 of the 15 pin "D" connector (RX+)

RS-485 GND (if available) ...................... pin 9 of the 15 pin "D" connector (GND)

RS-232 communication interface connection:

Crossover connection has to be established:

RS-232 RX (pin 2 on the DB9 connector) ..... pin 8 of the 15 pin "D" connector (TX)
RS-232 TX (pin 3 on the DB9 connector) ..... pin 15 of the 15 pin "D" connector (RX)
RS-232 GND (pin 5 on the DB9 connector) ..... pin 9 of the 15 pin "D" connector (GND)
