Appendix B Fieldbus
For general information about field bus control refer to the appropriate controller manuals 
and to the register list (
). A configuration file is needed for the use
with an OPC server. Contact the manufacturer for further information.
B.1 Fieldbus control
To start the field bus control select 
MAINTENANCE>TEST/MAINT>FIELDBUS>ENABLED. 
Note: For safety reasons the field bus control is temporarily disabled, when the analyzer is set to the 
service state in the menu system. To enable again the field bus control , select START in the 
SERVICE menu.
When the service state of the instrument is activated through the field bus, the field bus 
control remains active.
Important Note: Make sure that no one is working on the analyzer when an action 
through the field bus will be started!
The field bus control registers (40071 to 40078) will be set to FFFFh (65635dec) if the field 
bus is disabled for any reason. 
To initiate an action: enter "1" to the register for the required action (40072 to 40078), then 
enter "1" to the control register 40071. The requested action is accepted when both 
registers return to "0". When the instrument is waiting between measurements (long 
measuring intervals) a measurement can be forced by entering "1" to register 40072 and 
40071. The measurement will be initiated by 5 minutes. 
Note: Ongoing internal processes like cleaning are interrupted by a forced measurement. The 
interrupted process will be started again after the forced measurement. A discharged value will be 
discarded before the measurement. A forced measurement during a calibration process possibly 
have higher deviations from the true value than during a normal operation.
Important Note: Do not change the listed register addresses or other values, otherwise 
the instrument may malfunction or become inoperable.
B.2 Remote controlled measurement series
To take remote controlled measurement series (no automatic measurement with fixed 
interval) start the following procedure.
1. Select MAINTENANCE>TEST/MAINT>FIELDBUS>ENABLED to enable the START
BY BUS feature.
2. Select CONFIGURE>MEASURING>START BY BUS>YES.
Refer to menu system for other options. It is recommended to set AVERAGE either to 
"1" or to an even divider of NUMBER OF MEAS or to the same number as NUMBER 
OF MEAS to avoid measurements which are not averaged. 
Note: For safety reasons the field bus control and START BY BUS are temporarily disabled, when 
the analyzer is set to service state in the menu system. To enable again START BY BUS select 
MAINTENANCE>TEST/MAINT>START. 
When the service state of the instrument is activated through the field bus, the field bus 
control remains active.
Important Note: Make sure that no one is working on the analyzer when an action 
through the field bus will be started!
Important Note: Do not try to change the listed register addresses, otherwise the 
instrument may malfunction or become inoperable.
