User’s Manual UM33A/S006 Digital Indicator with Alarms (with RS485 Communication Function (Modbus Master/Monitor)) User’s Manual IM UM33A-01EN-S6 <Detailed Instructions> IM UM33A-01EN-S6 1st Edition...
1 Introduction 1.1 Overview The following two functions are incorporated into the UM33A/S006. • Modbus/RTU master function (read only) • Modbus/RTU communication data monitor function The Modbus/RTU master function allows the registers of Modbus slave devices on the same circuit line to be read out.

3 UM33A Modbus/RTU Master Function, Communication Data Monitor Function 3.1 Modbus/RTU Master Function Master VOLt Up to 31 connected slaves with a maximum length of 1200 m Slave Slave Slave This TOKUCHU product has a Modbus/RTU master function. The Modbus/RTU master function allows the registers of slave devices on the same circuit line to be read out and displayed on the UM33A screen.

3.2 Modbus/RTU Communication Data Monitor Function Master Monitor VOLt Up to 31 connected slaves and monitor with a maximum length of 1200 m Slave Slave Slave This TOKUCHU product has a Modbus/RTU communication data monitor function. The Modbus/RTU communication data monitor function allows the monitoring of register readout communication between a Modbus/RTU master and slave devices on the same circuit line.
3.3 Communication Conditions ○ Connected devices Up to 31 devices equipped with Modbus RTU communication function can be connected. ○ Restrictions on connected devices The communication conditions, namely the baud rate, parity, stop bit, and data length, of connected devices must be the same as those of this instrument. 3.4 Simple flow for using Modbus RTU Master/Monitor 3.5 Display Error of Communication PV For the FLOAT data type, the display error of communication PV is ±...

3.10 Auto/Manual Switching of the Operation Screen V OL t V OL t V OL t V OL t When auto switching of the operation screen is used, the PV input value switches automatically between communication PV1, communication PV2, . . . communication PV8 at the specified display update interval (3S, 10S, 30S, 1M).
3.12 Retransmission Output Retransmission output can be produced using 4-20mA by selecting PV, communication PV1 to communication PV8. The high and low limits of the scale are as follows: ○ When RTS=PV: RTL + 1 digit to 30000 -19999 RTH-1digit The decimal place is the same as that of the PV input.

3.13 Alarms and Event Lamps The number of alarms is different between PVs and communication PVs. PV: 4 alarms Communication PV: 2 alarms (can be set only for a single communication PV) Event lamps EV1 to 4 are for PV alarms. EV5 and 6 are for communication PV alarms. EV8 is for communication error indications.

Note1: When the communication function ONOFF (MB.ST menu) values are all set to hidden, only the PV input is displayed. If the PV input is hidden, at least one of the ONOFF (MB.ST menu) value is ON. Note2: The display can be shown or hidden with display U.PV (KLOC menu) OFF/ON value. When the communication function ONOFF (MB.ST menu) (1 to 8) values are all set to OFF, the PV input cannot be hidden.
