  • Page 6: Description

    Z-4RTD2-SI DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION Z-4RTD2-SI is a converter for thermistors with four independent and isolated measurement channels equipped with an analog-digital converter with a 24-bit resolution. The insulation relates to both the power supply and the RS485 communication port. The device measures the value of the thermistors and makes them available through the RS485 port using the Modbus RTU protocol.

  • Page 15: Numbering Of "0-Based" Or "1-Based" Modbus Addresses

    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"...
