Protocol
Model FP-624D sensors feature Modbus™ compatible communications protocol output and are addressable
via the program mode. Communication is via a two wire, half duplex RS-485, 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit, no parity, with the sensor set up as a slave device. A master controller up to 4000 feet away can poll up to
256 different FP-624D sensors. This number may not be realistic in harsh environments where noise and/or
wiring conditions would make it impractical to place so many devices on the same pair of wires. If a multi-
point system is being utilized, each sensor should be set for a different address. Typical address settings are:
01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 0A, 0B, 0C, 0D, 0E, 0F, 10, 11…etc.
Sensor Serial ID numbers are factory default to 01. These can be changed in the field via the Operator
Interface described in Section 3.5.8.
The following table explains the details of the Modbus™ protocol that the FP-624D sensor supports.
