Appendix A: HIM MODBUS
Feature

The HIM PC program allows you to configure the
HART monitor. A HART Monitor with the MODBUS
option provides a digital MODBUS output to a con-
nected MODBUS-based controller. Selecting the
MODBUS tab allows you to set the MODSBUS com-
munications parameters. Notice that the

MODBUS tab

will only be available in units with the MODBUS option.

Comms Settings

The Comms Settings include the following:

MODBUS Address
The

MODBUS Address is the number that the HIM

monitor uses to identify itself on the MODBUS net-
work. The MODBUS address is configurable from 1 to
247. By default, it will assume a MODBUS address of
01.

Baud Rate
The

Baud Rate is the speed of data transmission. It

should be set to match the baud rate of the attached
controller. The interface supports the following baud
rates: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200.

Parity
The HART monitor supports even, odd and no

Parity.

The data format is one start bit, 8 data bits and one
stop bit.

Floating Point Word Order
By default, the HART monitor will use the

Standard

LSW (least significant word) floating point word order
format. This stores the most significant bits in the
second register and the least significant bits in the first
register. Selecting

Swapped MSW (most significant

word) will reverse the order, storing the most signifi-
cant bits in the first register and the least significant
bits in the second register.

MODBUS Registers
The HART Monitor outputs a MODBUS signal to the
attached controller. To access the MODBUS registers
for variable, input/output or error information, refer to
Table A-1 (MODBUS Register Definitons table) and/or
Table A-2 (System Status Registers table).
