41833-EN-130314
Parameter Configurable Values Default Value
Data Bits 7, 8 8
Parity None, Odd, Even None
Stop Bits 1, 2 1
Address range Modbus 1 … 255 246
Start bits and data bits cannot be modified.
General configuration of the host
The data exchange with status and variables between field device and host is carried out via
register. For this, a configuration in the host is required. Floating point numbers with short prevision
(4 bytes) according to IEEE 754 are transmitted with individually selectable order of the data bytes
(byte transmission order). This "Byte transmission order" is determined in the parameter "Format
Code". Hence the RTU knows the registers of the VEGAFLEX 82 which must be contacted for the
variables and status information.

3 BADC
11.3 Modbus register
Holding Register
The Holding registers consist of 16 bit. They can be read and written. Before each command, the
address (1 byte), after each command, a CRC (2 byte) is sent.

Input register
The input registers consist of 16 bits. They can only be read out. Before each command, the ad-
dress (1 byte) is sent, after each command a CRC (2 bytes) is sent.
PV, SV, TV and QV can be adjusted via the sensor DTM.
