Page 15: Mpx Output 5 Modbus Sensor Parameters
• MPX Output 5 Modbus Sensor Parameters 40401 - Units Determines the units of measure for the Calculated Reading when Application Type is set to 0, 1, or 7. 1 = Feet 2 = Inches 3 = Meters 40402 - Application Type Determines the type of Calculated Reading performed by the sensor. - Page 16 40404 - Decimal Place Determines the number of decimal places included in the Calculated Reading(s). The Calculated Reading will always be returned as a whole number. For example, a Calculated Reading of 1126.658 (gallons, ft , etc.) will be returned as follows: Decimal Place = 0 Volume = 1127 (rounded to nearest whole number) Decimal Place = 1 Volume = 11267 (divide by 10 to get true result) Decimal Place = 2 Volume = 112666 (divide by 100 to get true result)
- Page 17 40410 - Blanking (Factory Calibrated) Sets the blanking distance, which is the zone from the Zero Reference of the sensor to the point from which the first signal will be valid. Signals from a float in the blanking area will be ignored. 40412 - Averaging Sets the number of qualified received float signals to average for the raw reading.
- Page 18 40415 - Sample Rate Sets the update rate of the sensor (50 - 1000 ms). Shorter time delays allow for quicker sensor response times to changing levels. Typical setting is 200 ms. Settings under 200 ms are not recommended. 40416 - Multiplier (Factory Calibrated) Calibrates the distance reading span.
- Page 19 40421 - RTD Offset C° (Factory Calibrated) Calibrates the RTD temperature sensor. This register is labeld in APG Modbus, but not used by MPX Output 5 probes. 40422 - Float Window (Factory Calibrated) Sets the distance (0 - 1000 mm) between the first (i.e. top) float and the point at which the sensor will begin looking for the second (bottom) float.
