Installation Instructions User guide

The Strain Gauge Converter can request the following information via the RS 485 interface e. g.
from a PC
or a PLC (with 3 decimal places each):
•
Net measured value (in the set unit)
•
Gross measured value (in the set unit)
•
mV measured value (in the set unit)
•
Output value current output (in mA)
The following commands are available for the requests:
• Null: delete the receive buffer of the requesting device
•
Check_1: checks whether Strain Gauge Converter (with the respective address) is connected
• Get_value_ch1: requests the net measured value
• Get_value_ch2: requests the gross measured value
• Get_value_ch3: requests the mV measured value
• Get_current: requests the output value current output
Requests via the RS 485 interface are not suitable for time-critical or safety-critical
applications.
At the beginning of each RS 485 communication, send the re
quest Check_1.
The RS 485 interface is deactivated if a connector is plugged into the programming
jack (RS 232 interface).
When the connector is removed, the request Check_1 is
required to switch to RS 485
communication.
