6.5 MODULE 5 - S
The Serial Communications Parameters are only accessible when an
optional RS232 or RS485 serial communications module is installed in the
meter.
This section replaces the bulletin shipped with the RS232 and RS485 serial
communications plug-in cards. Discard the separate bulletin when using those
serial plug-in cards with the CUB5B and CUB5R.
BAUD RATE
bAUd
300
600
9600
Set the baud rate to match that of other serial communications equipment.
Normally, the baud rate is set to the highest value that all of the serial
communications equipment is capable of transmitting and receiving.
DATA BIT
dAtA
7-bit
7-bit
Select either 7- or 8-bit data word length. Set the word length to match the
other serial communications equipment on the serial link.
PARITY BIT
PAritY
NO
Odd
This parameter only appears when the Data Bit parameter is set to a 7-bit
data word length. Set the parity bit to match that of the other serial equipment
on the serial link. The meter ignores parity when receiving data and sets the
parity bit for outgoing data. If parity is set to
to force the frame size to 10 bits.
METER ADDRESS
Addr
to
0
00
Enter the serial node address. With a single unit, an address is not needed
and a value of zero can be used (RS232 applications). Otherwise, with multiple
bussed units, a unique address number must be assigned to each meter. The
node address applies specifically to RS485 applications.

ABBREVIATED PRINTING
Abbr
NO
This parameter determines the formatting of data transmitted from the meter
in response to a Transmit Value command or a Block Print Request. Select
for a full print transmission, consisting of the meter address, mnemonics, and
parameter data. Select
for abbreviated print transmissions, consisting of the
YES
parameter data only. This setting is applied to all the parameters selected in the
PRINT OPTIONS. (Note: If the meter address is 0, the address will not be sent
during a full transmission.)
PRINT OPTIONS
Prnt OPt
NO
This parameter selects the meter values transmitted in response to a Print
Request. A print request is also referred to as a block print because more than
one parameter can be sent to a printer or computer as a block.

YES
Note: Inactive parameters will not be sent regardless of the print option
setting. For example, Counter B or Scale Factor B will only be sent if Counter
B is enabled (Dual Counter mode or batch count). Likewise, the Setpoint
value(s) will not be sent unless an optional setpoint card is installed in the
meter.
