Recommended actions
•
Check that the cables are connected.
•
Check that PWR+ is connected to + and PWR- is connected to - on the
power supply.
•
Make sure the Rosemount 5300 Level Transmitter is supplied with
8-30 Vdc (max. rating).
•
Try alternating MA/MB if you are unsure of the polarity.
•
If an RS-485 converter is used, make sure it is properly installed and
configured.
•
The last Rosemount 5300 Level Transmitter may need a terminating
120-Ω resistor connected between MA and MB.
Using HART+, HART-:
•
HART modem is not properly connected.
•
Polling address is incorrect in Rosemount Radar Master (default 1).
Using MA, MB:
•
See "No communication on RS-485 bus".
•
Polling address is incorrect in Rosemount Radar Master (default 1).
•
Cycle the power and wait 20 seconds before polling.
•
See "No communication on RS-485 bus".
•
Make sure the "Modbus communication protocol configuration" is
done properly, see
Modbus communication protocol
•
Make sure the Modbus RTU address is unique on the bus.
•
Cycle the power and try to connect.
•
Check the RTU communication settings.
•
See "No communication on RS-485 bus".
•
Make sure the "Modbus communication protocol configuration" is
done properly, see
Modbus communication protocol
•
Make sure the Modbus ASCII address is unique on the bus.
•
Cycle the power, waiting 40 seconds before communication begins.
•
Check the RTU communication settings.
