Serial Communication

long frame address (5 bytes)
Bit 39

0: Secondary master
1: Primary master

Bit 38

0: Not in burst mode
1: In burst mode (not supported)

Bits 32 – 37

Manufacturer's Id code (0x78 = Buerkert),
Bit 37 = MSB, bit 32 = LSB

Bits 24 – 31

device type code (0xEE = Mass flow controller/meter),
Bit 31 = MSB, bit 24 = LSB

Bits 0 – 23

device Id number,
Bit 23 = MSB, bit 0 = LSB
(matches the device serial number)
Each field unit must respond to address 0 (bits 0 – 23 = 0).

command
Commands are divided into the following categories in conformity with HART:
Universal commands Commands 0 – 30
Standard commands Commands 32 – 126
device-specific
command

Commands 128 – 253

(reserved: 31, 127, 254, 255)

Byte count

The byte count indicates how many more bytes come before the checksum, i.e. the number of status bytes +
number of data bytes. This results in a maximum total number of 255 status and data bytes.

response code

Transferred only from the slave to the master in a response telegram. Consists of 2 bytes. The status bytes are
used to detect communication errors or for the operating status of the slave device.

Data

data bytes, depending on the command. A maximum of 255 data bytes can be transferred.

• Float – IEEE 754 single precision (4 bytes) float
