Operation and configuration 5.6 Menu COM SETUP: Setting the BMS interface 5.6.1 Bus address "Addr:" This menu is used to set the BMS bus address for isoLR275. Take care that the bus address is not assigned twice. The device is factory set to address 3 and hence operates as a slave. If several isoLR275s are operated on one BMS bus, the address of other ISOMETER®s must be assigned one after the other, since only one device may have the master function.
Operation and configuration 5.6.3 ISO monitor This function allows to query the currently measured value as well as the mes- sages of all bus-capable ISOMETER®s existing in the BMS network. After selec- ting the bus address, the entire information stored by the selected device is indicated on the display.
Operation and configuration 5.7 PASSWORD menu 5.7.1 Setting and activating the password This menu can be used to activate a "Password" query. This protects the ISOMETER® against unauthorised settings and modifications. Set the desired password using the Up/Down buttons (menu item "2. Pass- word: xxx") password: and confirm the setting with the Enter button.
Operation and configuration 5.8 LANGUAGE Menu 5.8.1 Language setting The menu item "Language" allows fault messages of the ISOMETER® to be set to different languages. There is a choice of German and English. The device menu is not influenced by the language selection. isoLR275_D00127_00_M_XXEN/07.2018...
Language diagram 5.9 SERVICE menu This menu item is intended for the Bender service personnel and protected by a password against erroneous settings. It is intended for fast fault clearance by qualified experts in the event of a device error.
6. Serial interface 6.1 RS-485 interface with BMS protocol The RS-485 interface electrically isolated from the device electronics and the current output serves as a physical transmission medium for the BMS proto- col. If several isoLR275 or other bus-capable devices are interconnected in a network via the BMS bus, the BMS bus must be terminated at both ends with a 120 Ω...
(e.g. J-Y(St)Y 2x0.6), shield connected to earth (PE) on one end. Connection to the terminals A and B. The number of bus nodes is restricted to 32 devices. When more devices are to be connected, Bender recommends to use a DI1 repeater. isoLR275_D00127_00_M_XXEN/07.2018...
Serial interface 6.3 BMS protocol This protocol is an essential part of the Bender measuring device interface (BMS bus protocol). Data transmission generally makes use of ASCII characters. Interface data are: Baud rate: 9600 baud Transmission: 1 start bit, 7 data bits, 1 parity bit, 1 stop bit ...
Serial interface 6.3.1 BMS master A master can query all warning and operational messages from a slave. If the bus address 1 has been selected for one isoLR275, the device automati- cally represents the master, that means that all addresses between 1 and 150 are cyclically scanned for alarm and operational messages via the BMS bus.
Serial interface 6.3.2 BMS slave All isoLR275 devices are factory-set to slave mode (address 3). In a BMS net- work, one address must be selected from the address range 2...30 for each sla- ve. There may be no gaps of more than five subsequent addresses, so that all slaves can be scanned by the master.
