Devices are often used in complex environments, in order to adapt to the complex application environment and improve the stability of the system, the equipment uses advanced power technology. Users can use BIVOCOM 12VDC/1.5A power adapter to supply power to the device, or directly supply power to the device with DC 5-35V power supply.
Error Error alarm 1.8 Mounting This device supports 4 screw holes of 6mm diameter, support M4 screw, which can be used for Bivocom wall mount kits or DIN-Rail kits. 1.9 Lightning protection instructions When this device is connected to outdoor sensors (rain gauge, water level gauge, etc.), we suggest you take lightning protection measures (such as installing lightning arresters, etc.) to improve the safety level of the...
2. Getting Started 2.1 Package Checklist The following components are included in your TG501 package. Check the list before installation. If you find anything missing, Please feel free to contact Bivocom. ✓ TG501 RTU ✓ Power Adapter(DC 12V/1.5A, EU/US/UK/AU plug optional) ✓...
2.2.2 Install the terminal blocks There are 2 terminal blocks in the package(10-pin and 12pin), please install all of them to allow you to connect your sensors/PLC/microcontrollers to TG501, and power supply. 2.2.3 Fasten cellular antenna TG501 supports 1 SMA male cellular antenna-ANT1, (Dual cellular antenna-ANT2, GPS antenna-ANT 3 are optional), fasten the antenna to TG501(SMA female port), and make sure it is screwed tightly to ensure the strength of signal.
2.2.6 Load the initial configuration Open the configuration tool which you can go download from Bivocom website, or contact us to get this software, this config tool only supports Windows OS now. Open the config tool, 1) Click ‘Config’ label, then click ‘Reload’ button, you will be indicated to power on the device to load the configuration from device initially.
3. Configuration Tool Setting In this chapter, you’ll learn more details about how to configure the RTU via the configuration tool. 3.1 Config Tool In the previous section, after finish the TG501 installation and connect it with your laptop via RS232 cable (you may need an RS232 to USB adaptor if your laptop doesn’t support DB9 interface).
After entering into configuration mode, you are able to change all the settings on tool panel, as below detail ed explanations. 3.1.1 Basic Setting Click the ‘Basic Setting’ label, you are allowed to change the Device ID, SIM Card Number, Work Mode, and select the Modbus work mode, Modbus device address, update interval.
The Modbus slave device address, 1 is for TG501 itself that Modbus Device Address read ADC/DI/Relay states. The update interval of device upload Modbus data initiatively, Modbus update Interval 0 is for disable this feature. 3.1.2 Com Setting Configure the com ports settings at “Com Setting” page, only the RS232-1 and RS485-0 be supported on standard TG501.
Databit, Parity, Set the Data bit, Parity, Stop bit for serial communication. Stopbit 8E1, 8N1, 8O1 are available. Configure the commands are sent from TG501 to slave devices, this is usually used on Modbus Master mode. You Cmd Choose can set up 10 commands in total. Cmd Content Edit the command content Choose String or HEX to send the command...
Parameter Description Supports up to 5 data center, when choose number over 1(from 2-5), Data Center Number backup is invalid. Center Protocol Configure the protocol of com port communication, FTCP, CTCP, HTCP is for TCP protocol, the difference between those protocols are register data package, and we recommend you choose CTCP.
