Use the installation manual for more information. ATTENTION! In any case, SENECA s.r.l. or its suppliers will not be responsible for the loss of data/revenue or consequential or incidental damages due to negligence or bad/improper management of the device, even if SENECA is well aware of these possible damages.
User Manual Z-4RTD2-SI TYPE OF SUPPORTED SENSORS The supported sensors are: SENSOR STANDARD MEASURING RANGE PT100 EN 60751/A2 (ITS-90) -200 ÷ +650°C PT500 EN 60751/A2 (ITS-90) -200 ÷ +750°C PT1000 EN 60751/A2 (ITS-90) -200 ÷ +210°C NI100 DIN 43760 -60 ÷ +250°C...
User Manual Z-4RTD2-SI ATTENTION! In order not to lose the settings, NEVER update the firmware with a version older than the one installed on the device. FILTER To each channel it is possible to insert a low pass filter to stabilize the measurement, it is a 10-sample moving average filter.
User Manual Z-4RTD2-SI DEVICE CONFIGURATION The device can be configured using the Easy Setup or Easy Setup 2 software, configurations are as follows: SENSOR TYPE: allows you to select the type of sensor connected to the channel, it is also possible to disconnect the channel if it is not used.
User Manual Z-4RTD2-SI FIRMWARE UPDATE Through the USB port it is possible to update the firmware. To update the firmware: 1) Disconnect the device from the power supply; 2) Holding down the firmware update button (positioned as shown in the figure), reconnect the device to...
User Manual Z-4RTD2-SI 6) Once the firmware file has been copied, the device will automatically reboot and be ready for use. 7) Verify that the fw update was successful by connecting the device to the Easy Setup software, the firmware revision (in this case 1002) is shown in the bottom left:...

According to the Modbus standard the Holding Registers are addressable from 0 to 65535, there are 2 different conventions for numbering the addresses: "0-BASED" and "1-BASED". For greater clarity, Seneca shows its register tables in both conventions. ATTENTION! CAREFULLY READ THE DOCUMENTATION OF THE MODBUS MASTER DEVICE IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHICH OF THE TWO CONVENTIONS THE MANUFACTURER HAS DECIDED TO USE NUMBERING OF MODBUS ADDRESSES WITH "0 -BASED"...
User Manual Z-4RTD2-SI A further convention is also possible where the number 4 is omitted in front of the register address: HOLDING MODBUS ADDRESS MEANING WITHOUT 4x FIRST REGISTER SECOND REGISTER THIRD REGISTER FOURTH REGISTER FIFTH REGISTER BIT CONVENTION WITHIN A MODBUS HOLDING REGISTER...

User Manual Z-4RTD2-SI TYPE OF 32-BIT FLOATING POINT DATA (IEEE 754) The IEEE 754 standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754) defines the format for representing floating point numbers. As already mentioned, since it is a 32-bit data type, its representation occupies two 16-bit holding registers.
