DESCRIPTION OF DATA

For the following Bit Pattern. The LSB is always bit 0. Bit numbers are always counted from right to left, with the rightmost digit being bit 0, and the next to the left would be bit 1.

1. INPUT RANGE

5. READING SCALE
Multiplication factor, apply to input to get a higher or lower reading.

This is 3 byte data (6 characters) as:

- Bits 0 to 18 (19 bits) are value of the scale from 0 to 500000
- Bit 19 is sign, 0 for positive and 1 for negative
- Bits 20 to 23 are for decimal point value = DP

It means as: Actual decimal value = 10 ** ( 1 - DP ) where ** means "TO THE POWER OF"

example:
  • if scale is -0.000345678.= - 345678 x 10**(-9)
  • value will be 345678 decimal = 5464E hex
  • bit 19 =1 for negative
  • bits 20-23 = DP = 10 = A hex then data will be AD464E hex

  • 6. READING OFFSET
    Deviation, apply to input to get a higher or lower reading.

    This is 3 byte data (6 characters) as:
    - Bits 0 to 19 are value from 0 to 1000000
    - Bit 23 is sign, 0 for positive, 1 for negative
    - Bits 20,21,22 are decimal point value = DP

    It means as: Actual decimal value = 10 ** ( 2 - DP ) where ** means "TO THE POWER OF"

    example:
  • offset value is 234.089
  • value of 234089 decimal = 39269 hex
  • decimal value = 10 ** (-3) then DP=5
  • then 234.089 decimal = 539269 hex


  • 7. COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS
    This is one byte data and specifies BAUD, PARITY, DATA, and STOP bit.

    BAUD =
    bits 2,1,0 are:     bits 2,1,0 are:  
      000-001 not used   101 for 9600
      010 for 1200   110 for 19200
      011 for 2400   111 not used
      100 for 4800  
    PARITY =
    bits 4,3 and are:     bits 4,3 and are:  
      00 for NO   10 for EVEN
      01 for ODD   11 not used
    DATA BIT =
    bit 6 and is:     bit 6 and is:  
      0 for 1 stop   1 for 2 stop
    BIT 7 =
    always zero        

    Note 1: Stop bit is always 1. Unless 7 data, no parity is selected then unit will use 2 stop bits.
    Note 2: When 8 Data bit is selected, only NO PARITY is allowed.


    8. BUS FORMAT
    This is one byte data as:
    Bit 0 = 0/1 means checksum not included/included
    Bit 1 not used
    Bit 2 = 0/1 means no echo/echo
    Bit 3 = 1 means 485 mode
    Bit 4 = 1 means command mode
    Bits 7-5 not used

    For models (PR/ST/FP):
    Bit 7 = 0/1 Enable/Disable peak and valley comparison
    NOTE 1: ECHO mode means the unit will echo back the command letter and index.
    NOTE 2: Do not use checksum option unless you have to use it.


    9. DATA FORMAT
    This is one byte and specifies the data which will be transmitted against the "V01" command.

    Bit pattern
    bit 0 = 0/1
    bit 1 = 0/1
    bit 2 = 0/1

    bit 2 = 0/1
    bit 3 = 0/1

    bit 3 = 0/1
    bits 4
    bits 4= 0/1
    bits 5
    bits 6= 0/1
    bits 7= 0/1
    Means do not include/include peak & valley status register
    Means do not include/include reading
    For models (TC/RTD/ACV/ACC): Means do not include/include peak reading
    For models (PR/ST): Means do not include/include process totalize
    For models (TC/RTD/ACV/ACC): Means do not include/include valley reading
    For models (PR/ST/FP): Means do not include/include peak reading
    For models (TC/RTD/ACV/ACC): Not used. Set to 0.
    For models (PR/ST/FP): Means do not include/include valley reading
    Not used. Set to 0.
    Means do not include/include unit of measure
    Means space/carriage return between values

    10. DEVICE ADDRESS
    This is one byte data and specifies the address of the unit when in RS485 multipoint mode. Addresses are in hexadecimal from 01 to FF. NOTE: Address 00 is for broadcasting. All units on the same BUS will perform any command with this address but will not respond.

    11. RECOGNITION CHARACTER
    This is one byte security character. (Default is *)

    12. UNIT OF MEASURE
    This is 3 bytes. It is ASCII value of unit of measure

    13. GATE TIME (For FP model only)
    This is 1 byte from 00 to FF.

    For value = 00 to FA:
    Each count equals 10ms. If 0 then gate time = 3ms.
    Example: 1 second gate time = 64 hex.

    For value = FB to FF

    14. DEBOUNCE TIME (For FP model only)
    This is 1 byte from 01 to FF. Each count equals 5ms. If 0 then error.

    15. TRANSMIT TIME
    This is 2 bytes data in second and specifies the time of the transmission by the meter.
