• COMM (Communica ons)
bAUd R
(Baud Rate): 2400, 9600, 19200, 38400
PARITY
: even, odd, none
STOPbT
(Stop Bit): 1, 2
NOTE: all APG Modbus based sensors communicate using 9600 baud, no parity and 1
stop bit.
C TYPE
(Communica ons Type):
MASTER
: sets the MND to operate as the master device.
SNIFER
(Sniff er): sets the MND to passively monitor communica ons between a
master device and one or more sensors. The master device must be ac vely polling
the sensor(s) in order for the MND to update the reading(s).
LRSNIF
(LOE/RST Sniff er): func ons the same as Sniff er mode with addi on of
monitoring the readings from an LOE series or RST-5000 series Ethernet based sensor
(ac ng as the master device).
SETUP
: sets the MND to act operate as a “slave” device in order to be programmed
using the APG Modbus so ware.
NOTE: the Sensor Address parameter (see below) is used to set the MND’s own
sensor address when in opera ng in Setup mode.
* AINPUT
: displayed reading is based on the analog input signal and related se ngs
(*Op onal feature. Refer to INPUT menu sec on for more informa on).
SENAdR
(Sensor Address): sets the address number of the sensor to be displayed when
only one sensor is being monitored. The Sensor Address is also used to set the MND’s
own address when opera ng in Setup mode.
NOTE: in order to monitor readings from mul ple sensors, the assigned sensor
address numbers must begin at 1 and increment sequen ally. For example, if 5
sensors are to be monitored, the sensor addresses must be set to 1 thru 5.
NOTE: when displaying the readings from mul ple sensors, the Sensor Address se ng
determines which sensor is controlling the output(s) of the MND.
