26 through 32. The mode of communication is established by the configuration of the
connection made at the SITRANS LU01, either RS-232, RS-485 or bipolar current loop.

The SITRANS LU01 uses

simplex convention communication protocol. Data messages

are continuously transmitted at regular intervals (no poll is required) at 4800 baud. All
data is transmitted in structured messages of ASCII characters consisting of 8 data bits,
no parity, and 1 stop bit.

If Peripheral Communications (P740) is set for "formatted" messages, a comma is inserted
between each message field (except immediately preceding the "End of Message"
characters).
