2. The DXD will respond by transmitting the following message: HL=000XXX (where X represents your DXD’s actual serial number ) 7.4.7 Get and Change the Current User Label 1. The value retrieved with the UL (User Label) command is comprised of up to 16 alphanumeric characters which can be modified by the user to form a descriptive tag or identification name.
Section 8.0 Field Calibration by sending the following command: #01US[CR] Calibration adjustments on the DXD are limited to 6. Next calculate the new value for US by dividing the adjusting zero and span. A high precision primary known pressure generated with the pressure stan- standard (50 ppm or better) is required for the span dard by the displayed value, for example, 30/ adjustment on gauge, vacuum and compound...
Section 9.0 DXD Command Library The DXD digital pressure transducer employs a simple ASCII character based protocol for communications. A DXD UNIT cannot initiate this communication process. A host device, i.e. a computer, terminal or PLC device must be used to initiate communications by querying the DXD. Multiple DXD’s on the same communication bus are addressed sequentially so each unit must have a unique, two digit address between 01 and 99.
9.3 Command Library Mnemonics The same command mnemonic is used for both read and write functions. The destinction between read and write commands is that read commands use uppercase characters and all write commands use lowercase characters. UNIT ADDRESS Command Description: Reads or writes the DXD Unit’s address (valid address values are from 01 through Command Type : Dual (READ/WRITE) Command Read Command Syntax:...
