N1040i Indicator
Communication Protocol – V10x

1.1 COMMUNICATION INTERFACE

The optional serial interface RS485 allows to address up to 247

indicators in a network communicating remotely with a host computer

or master indicator.
RS485 Interface
• Compatible line signals with RS485 standard
• 2 wire connection from master to up to 31 slaves indicators in a

multidrop bus. It is possible address 247 nodes with multiple

outputs converters.

• Maximum communication distance: 1000 meters
• The RS485 signals are:

D1 = D:

Bidirectional data line.

D0 =

D:

Bidirectional inverted data line.

C = GND: Optional connection which left communication

better.

General Characteristics
• Optically isolated serial interface
• Programmable baud rate: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,

38400, 57600 or 115200 bps.

• Data Bits: 8
• Parity: None, Even or Odd.
• Stop Bits: 1
Communication Protocol
The MOSBUS RTU slave is implemented, available in most SCADA

softwares in the market.
All configurable parameters can be accessed (for reading or writing)

through the Registers Table. Broadcast commands are supported as

well (address 0).
The available Modbus commands are:

03 - Read Holding Register
05 - Force Single Coil (Force Digital Output state)
06 - Preset Single Register
16 - Preset Multiple Registers (Block write to multiple holding

registers)

The registers are arranged in a table in such a way that several

registers can be read in the same request.

1.2 CONFIGURATION OF SERIAL COMMUNICATION

PARAMETERS

Two parameters must be configured in the device for serial

communication:

bavd

: Baud rate. All devices with same baud rate.

addr

: Device communication address. Each device must have an

exclusive address.

prty

: Paraty.

1.3 REGISTERS TABLE

Equivalent to the registers referenced as 4XXXX.
The holding registers are basically a list of the internal indicator

parameters. All registers above address 12 can be read or written. The

registers up to this address in more are read only. Please verify each

case. Each table parameter is a 16 bits two complement signed word.

ALrf

Diferential alarm reference..
Range: SPLL to SPkL (or the sensor span),

PV

Read: Process Variable.
Write: Not allowed.
In case of temperature reading, the value read

is always multiplied by 10, independently of
dppo value.
