RTD Module Communications Setup Procedure
Communication between the BE1-11t and the RTD module can be accomplished via Ethernet or RS-485.
Initial settings for the RTD module must be made via Ethernet.
An IP address is assigned to the RTD module in all cases even if the connection between the RTD
module and the BE1-11t will be RS-485. Assigning an IP address to the RTD module gives the user the
option to save a settings file and to view the serial number and firmware version of the RTD module using
BESTCOMSPlus.
Perform one of the following procedures to set up the RTD module.
Procedure 1
The PC and BE1-11t are connected through a network or the PC is connected directly to the BE1-11t via
Ethernet cable or USB cable. The RTD module connects to the BE1-11t via Ethernet or RS-485. See
Figure 318.
