The Serial Setup Parameters are only active when one of the optional serial
communication/programming cards is installed in the meter.
Refer to the CUB5USB bulletin for details on the CUB5 USB programming
and programming requirements. This section replaces the bulletin shipped with
the RS232 and RS485 serial communications plug-in cards. Discard the
separate bulletin when using those serial plug-in cards with the CUB5B and
CUB5R.
BAUD RATE
Set the baud rate to match that of other serial communications equipment.
Normally, the baud rate is set to the highest value that all of the serial
communications equipment is capable of transmitting and receiving.
Select either 7- or 8-bit data word length. Set the word length to match the
other serial communications equipment on the serial link.
This parameter only appears when the Data Bit parameter is set to a 7-bit
data word length. Set the parity bit to match that of the other serial equipment
on the serial link. The meter ignores parity when receiving data and sets the
parity bit for outgoing data. If parity is set to NO , an additional stop bit is used
to force the frame size to 10 bits.
Enter the serial node address. With a single unit, an address is not needed
and a value of zero can be used (RS232 applications). Otherwise, with multiple
bussed units, a unique address number must be assigned to each meter. The
node address applies specifically to RS485 applications.
This parameter determines the formatting of data transmitted from the meter
in response to a Transmit Value command or a Block Print Request. Select NO
for a full print transmission, consisting of the meter address, mnemonics, and
parameter data. Select YES for abbreviated print transmissions, consisting of the
parameter data only. This setting is applied to all the parameters selected in the
PRINT OPTIONS. (Note: If the meter address is 0, the address will not be sent
during a full transmission.)
This parameter selects the meter values transmitted in response to a Print
Request. A print request is also referred to as a block print because more than
one parameter can be sent to a printer or computer as a block.
Selecting YES displays a sublist for choosing the meter parameters to appear
in the print block. All active parameters entered as YES in the sublist will be
transmitted during a block print. Parameters entered as NO will not be sent.
The “Print All” ( Prnt ALL ) option selects all meter values for transmitting
( YES ), without having to individually select each parameter in the sublist.
Note: Inactive parameters will not be sent regardless of the print option
setting. For example, Counter B or Scale Factor B will only be sent if Counter
B is enabled (Dual Counter mode or batch count). Likewise, the Setpoint
value(s) will not be sent unless an optional setpoint card is installed in the meter.

COPY
COPY PROGRAM SETTINGS
NO YES
This parameter is used to copy all the program settings from one CUB5
meter directly to another CUB5 meter, through the serial communications cards
(RS232 or RS485). The USB programming card cannot be used for the copy
procedure. No PC connection or additional software is required. Copying
program settings eliminates the need for repetitive programming when multiple
meters use identical settings.
Copy Requirements:
To copy program settings from one meter to another requires the following:
1. Both meters must have the same software version (Version 3.1 or later). The
version is displayed during the meter power-up sequence, or in Module 3 at
the Software Version Display parameter. (See Module 3 for details)
2. The meter receiving the program settings (receiver) must have the Baud Rate
set to 9600 baud. Since this is the factory default setting, a new meter will
arrive ready for copying. The meter sending the program settings (master)
should be set to the desired Baud Rate for the application (if different than
9600). This Baud Rate setting will then be copied to the receiver.
Copy Connections:
To connect the meters for copying, install a serial communications card of
the same type into each meter (RS232 or RS485). Connect the meters using the
proper cable listed in the chart.
