Use of the MTA service connector is limited to configuring the instrument (unit system, output

range, display, etc.). Both the HygroLab 2 and HygroLab 3 can also be configured via one of the

external digital ports.

Instrument configuration requires a PC with the HW4 software installed. Instructions for configuring

the HygroLab are provided in the software manual.

4.2 Baud rate compatibility requirements

Depending on the model, devices from ROTRONIC use one of the following Baud rates as the

factory default:

• 57600 bps: HygroLog NT data logger and docking stations

• 19200 bps: HygroPalm and HygroLab indicators, HygroFlex and M33 transmitters, HygroClip

Alarm programmable alarm card, HygroClip DI interface, HygroStat MB Thermo-Hygrostat

The factory default Baud rate of the HygroLab is compatible both with both the ROTRONIC HW4

and HW3 software and is the recommended Baud rate for the HygroLab.

IMPORTANT:

• All devices connected to a RS-485 multi-drop network (master and slaves) must use the

same Baud rate

• Models with the optional Ethernet (TCP/IP) interface: after using HW4 – Device Manager to

change the Baud rate, you should also change the configuration of the internal Ethernet

module to the new Baud rate (see separate HW4 manual).

Devices and internal Ethernet modules with mismatched Baud rate will not communicate together.

• The Baud rate configuration of a ROTRONIC device can be changed with the Device

Manager function (Digital Interface tab) available from within the HW4 software.

• The Baud rate of a Digi Module can be changed only from the module web interface. See

separate document IN-E-TCPIP-Conf_11 (available in PDF format).

4.3 Ethernet local area network

ROTRONIC devices with an Ethernet (TCP/IP) interface presently use an internal module

manufactured by Digi International (Digi Connect ME for a wired connection, Digi Connect WI-ME

for a wireless connection). Both types of module feature a web interface that is used to configure

the module.

IMPORTANT: The TCP/IP settings of models with an Ethernet (TCP/IP) interface should be

configured to be compatible with the local area network. Detailed instructions are provided

separately in document IN-E-TCPIP-Conf_11 (available in PDF format).

Models with an Ethernet (TCP/IP) interface are shipped with a Device Configuration Certificate that

provides information about the factory configuration settings of both the Ethernet module and

device. See example below:
