In case of the transducer work in an environment with high interference, one must apply shielded wires.
- individual characteristics of analog outputs (for executions with analog outputs). There is the possibility to connect the transducer through another trans- mission media, like: ETHERNET, USB, using LUMEL S.A.’s converters. The transducer is equipped of one two-colour signalling diode. The diode pulsation means: - pulsing in green colour –...

given coordinates of two points by the user, the transducer determines (from the system of equations) coeffi cients a and b of the individual characteristic. Y1Out = a X1In + b Y2Out = a X2In + b where: X1 In and X2 In - measured value Y1 Out i Y2 Out - expected value on the output.
4.3.1. Description of the MODBUS Protocol Implementation The implemented protocol is in compliance with the PI-MBUS-300 Rev G Modicon Company specification. Following functions of the MODBUS have been implemented in P18 transducers: Functions of the MODBUS Protocol Implemented in P18 Transducers...
