Introduction
Manual Scope
This manual applies to the October 2021 release of the DS485DIS which is an improved design over the legacy
module which can be recognized by its light grey enclosure. To find the user manual for this legacy module please
refer to the Mantracourt website.
Overview
The DS485DIS is an LED display module which allows up to eight (8) DSC or DLC devices to be connected with
mathematical functions performed such as summing for allowing an overall Result to be displayed.
In Legacy Mode the display can toggle between gross and a zeroed net display and optionally allows the user to
cycle through the individual displays that form the Result.
When used in Advanced Mode, Sets can be configured. This allows two sets to be configured with up to 4 devices
(children) per set. Functions and statistics for each set can be configured with an overall result based on the two sets.
Advanced mode is selected using the FUNC parameter
The inputs are all synchronised so the result display is a true representation of the instantaneous input without skew.
Requirements
This display can connect to various DSC and DLC devices but does require an RS485 interface and the MantraBus II
protocol.
Suitable devices are: DSCS4MAN, DSCH4MAN, DLCSMAN and DLCHMAN.
The DSC and DLC devices must have sequential station numbers from 1 to the total number of devices when used in
Legacy mode but for the new advanced "Set" mode the station numbers can be between 1 and 252. The default
baudrate for the RS485 bus is 115200.
The connected devices should be configured using Instrument Explorer before connecting to this display.
Ensure that the baudrate of the connected devices match the baudrate of the display.
