- Section 1 - 7230 Series HT Digital Probe The 7230 Series HT Digital Probe is a new magnetostrictive level measurement system from AMETEK APT for the up-stream Oil & Gas Industry and high temperature applications that require multiple level and temperature measurements. Magnetostrictive level measurement technology has the capability of providing the highest accuracy of any of the most popular level technologies that are currently offered in today’s market.

- 1.2 - Mounting Conditions 1.4 - Installation of a Rigid Probe 1. The 7230 Series HT Digital Probe level system is designed for industrial applications, but should be mounted in a location as free as possible from vibration, corrosive atmospheres, or any possibility of mechanical damage. 2. Mount the probe in a reasonably accessible location, away from agitation. 3. Process temperature is between -40°F and 257°F (-40°C to 125°C). 4.

- 1.7 - 7231 Modbus Set Up As many as 32 Modbus devices may be multi-dropped on the same bus. A twisted pair is used to connect the 7231 to a host, such as a PC with a RS-485 converter or PC card. It is recommended that the twisted pair be shielded and at least 22 AWG. The shield should be connected to common only at one end. The 7231 uses the Modbus protocol for communicating with a PC or devices such as a programmable logic controller. Modbus is a master-slave protocol that is openly published. 
- Section 2 - 7231- Modbus Configuration The 7231 HT has 2 modes: it can act as a Modbus slave, responding to data requests from a Modbus master, or it can act as a Modbus master, used for interfacing to an optional Modbus to 4-20 mA converter. The mode is determined by the Baud Rate switch (figure 4.1 on pg. 9). Position 0 configures the 7231 HT as a Modbus Master. Positions 1- 9 configure the 7231 HT as a Modbus Slave, and also sets the baud rate at which it will communicate with the master. 
- 2.3 - Modbus Slave Operation When configured as slave, the 7231 HT responds to requests for data from a Modbus master. The data available is the product, interface, total covered temperature, product temperature, interface temperature, span (probe length), max temperature, and the individual values of the 5 temperature sensors from the probe as well as the status of the probe. The 7231 HT is capable of communicating using the Modbus RTU or ASCII format. The format is selected by the on board jumper JP2. 
- 2.5 - Jumper Settings In the Modbus slave configuration, jumpers JP2 and JP3 control the Modbus format (RTU or ASCII) and the communication settings, according to the chart below. The Data bits for the Down position of JP3 depend upon the setting of JP2 (RTU or ASCII format). Note these jumpers have no effect when the 7231 HT is configured as a Modbus master. 
- 2.6 - Data Points 2.10 - Enron Modbus The data points available are: Enron Modbus has a few differences from Traditional Modbus. One difference is the register offsets follow a different numbering scheme, with integer values residing in the 3XXX range, long integers in the 5XXX range, and floating points in the 7XXX range. The second difference is that 32 bits of data can be returned in one register. The 7231 HT supports both of these features, by selection of the proper register value. 
- 2.13 - Byte Ordering In the Modbus slave configuration, data can be accessed as integers (16 bits), long integers (32 bits), and floating point value (32 bits). The order that the bytes are sent must be known by the master in order to assembly the bytes into the correct value. Byte ordering can have a few different terminologies. 1) Big/Little Endian. 2) Byte order by number, with 1 indicating the most significant part of the value, and 4 the least significant.
