Relay status "Atmospheric pressure reached"
Programming the atmospheric pressure threshold can only be carried out via the
serial interfaces.
The relevant parameter: percentage of atmospheric pressure (N) is sent to the
gauge in a 5 byte long command string (general information on RS232 interface
→  33):
Byte No. Function Value Comment
0 Length of data string 0x03 hex set value
1 Data 0x11 hex
2 Data 0x10 hex
3 Data 0x01 … 0x8C hex

0x00 … 0xFF hex low byte of sum, high

dec
= 1% … 140% (default = 99%).
Example:
Atmospheric pressure = 1000 mbar (example)
2)
N = 99% (default)
Hysteresis = 2% (fixed)
⇒ Atmospheric pressure threshold = 990 mbar
⇒ If the pressure exceeds 990 mbar, the relay "Atmosphere reached". is
activated. As the pressure drops below 970 mbar, the relays is deacti-
vated.
2)
It is possible to calibrate the atmospheric pressure sensor (→  45).
The definition of the function assigned to the relays (SP A/B or "Atmospheric pres-
sure reached") and the value "Percentage of atmospheric pressure" (N) is descri-
bed in the communication protocol of the respective interface version (for
DeviceNet →  [1], for Profibus →  [2]).
