  • Page 18: Modbus Addressing

    The ModBUS slave address has a valid range of 1-247. The default value is 247. This address may be set using a ULTIMA/ULTIMA X Controller or Calibrator or a ModBUS Controller. The Calibrator address range is limited to 0-32, for other addresses use the Controller.

  • Page 19: Modbus Communications

    OPERATION 4.3. ModBUS Communications The communications protocol is ModBUS RTU over an RS-485 hardware network. The default settings for communications parameters are 19200 baud and even parity. The stop bits are fixed at 1 stop bit. For data types that are larger than one word, the most significant word is located in the first register (big- endian).

  • Page 20: Modbus Factory Configuration Data (Read Only)

    OPERATION For systems that use five-digit addressing, 4XXXX: If the first digit is an internal system requirement and does not appear in the communications packet, write the value 1000 to address 41000. The base address is now 41000 and the first valid address is 41001. If all five digits appear in the communications packet, the default base address is 40000 and the first valid address is 40001.

  • Page 21: Calibration

    For complete calibration details please refer to the “ULTIMA/ULTIMA X Series Operating Manual” (Order No.: 10050078). Connect power to the ULTIMA X Gas Monitor at least one hour before attempting a calibration. Carry out the calibration during commissioning as well as at regular intervals.

  • Page 22: Optional Reset Button

    Normally Open Switch The RESET push button must be installed remotely and not directly into the Ultima X cable gland entry. The switch must be fitted in an approved junction box and be ATEX approved for hazardous area use. The optional RESET button is to allow latching relays to be reset at the gas monitor location.

  • Page 23: Modbus Port

    RESET push button until the heart symbol is displayed. When the push button is released the calibration will be aborted. For calibration details refer to the ULTIMA/ULTIMA X Operating Manual (Order No.: 10050078). 5.2.
