Example: 00BR<CR> !00BR00005<CR> If a command is transmitted with a parameter, the parameter is verified. If it is valid, it will be saved and specified in the echo telegram. If the parameter is invalid, it will be disregarded and the set value output in the echo telegram. Examples: 00BR00005<CR>...
6.1.1 Data telegrams Data output takes place in response to a request with the command TR. You can choose between the following telegrams: • Measured value telegram (parameter=1, weather station WSC11 compatible) • Sensor data telegram (parameter=2) • Extended measured value telegram (parameter=3, including 4 brightnesses) Calculation of the checksum, the composition of the status word and the control characters/separators used in the telegrams are described below.
WSC11. The telegram structure is shown in the following table: Position Length Example Description <STX> Start of text characters (0x02). Designates the weather station compact WSC10. Semicolon. Identification number of weather station. Semicolon. dd.mm.yyyy Date and time separated with a blank character hh:mm:ss dd: day, mm: month, yyyy: year, hh: hour, mm: minute, ss: second.

Position Length Example Description Twilight (Lux). Semicolon. #### Global irradiance (W/m2). Semicolon. ###.# Air temperature (°C). Semicolon. Precipitation status (0: no precipitation, 1: precipitation). Semicolon. ##.# Average wind speed (m/s). Semicolon. Average wind direction (°). Semicolon. ----.- Reserved. Semicolon. ----.- Reserved.
Position Length Example Description <CR> Carriage return (0x0D). <LF> Line feed (0x0A). Table 2 : Measured value telegram Measured values The measured values are 1-second average values, with the exception of wind speed and wind direction. If the specified measuring range is exceeded (see Te), the measured value is limited to the maximum (terminal value of measuring range) and the relevant bit set in the status (see table 1: Status world).
0x03 (Read Holding Registers). 0x06 (Write Single Register). 0x10 (Write Multiple Registers). The Weather Station Compact WSC10 supports a write access for the slave-address 0 (“Broadcast”). All received MODBUS request are checked for validity before carrying out. In error case the weather station responds with one of the following exceptions (MODBUS Exception...
6.2.1 Measuring Values (Input Register) All measuring values of the Weather Station Compact WSC10 consume 32Bit, i.e. 2 MODBUS register addresses. The following table shows the allocation of measuring value to register address, while the measuring values are sorted as follows: By measuring value type (30001 to 34999).
