2.2.3 Communication Parameters and Connections

The digital interface operates via RS485 (optional RS-232 is available) and pro-
vides access to applicable internal data including: flow, temperature, pressure
reading, auto zero, totalizer and alarm settings, gas table, conversion factors and
engineering units selection, dynamic response compensation and linearization
table adjustment.

Communication Settings:

Baud rate:

-------- 9600 baud

Stop bit:

-------- 1

Data bits:

-------- 8

Parity:

-------- None

Flow Control:

-------- None

RS-485 communication interface connection:

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

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

-------- pin 11 of the 25 pin "D" connector (-)

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

-------- pin 24 of the 25 pin "D" connector (+)

RS-485 GND (if available)

-------- pin 20 of the 25 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 11 of the 25 pin "D" connector (TX)
RS-232 TX
(pin 3 on the DB9 connector) -------- pin 24 of the 25 pin "D" connector (RX)
RS-232 GND
(pin 5 on the DB9 connector) -------- pin 20 of the 25 pin "D" connector (GND)
