Additional diagnostic strings will be present if service diagnostics is enabled.
These diagnostics are for service personnel only.
Data is normally sent out (polled) every 2½ minutes. The automatic polling
function cannot be modified but the system can be manually polled as follows:
Enter the following to enable manual polling mode:
nRMR1
Enter the following to receive the latest reading:
nRMR?
To return to automatic polling mode enter the following:
nRMR0
Refer to the Signal Output Manual (Cat. No. 51250-18) to configure up to two
relays and one 4–20 mA outputs. The relays and recorder output mirror the
outputs of the relays and recorders internal to the CL17.
Measurement and alarm data from the CL17 Analyzer can be converted to
®
a Modbus * protocol using the Hach MOD I/O Module. The data can then
be polled by any Modbus Master Device (PLC/DCS) including the Hach
OPC server/OPC data logger. Refer to the MOD I/O Module Manual for
additional information.
The CL17 Analyzer has the following setup information for the
MOD I/O Module:
Number of Integer Measurements
Number of Floating-point Measurements
Number of Alarms
