Foreword Dear customer, thank you very much for deciding in favour of the DT 521. Please read this installation and operation manual carefully before mounting and initiating the device and follow our advice. A riskless operation and a correct functioning of the...
We are also not liable for consequential damage resulting from the delivery, capability or use of this device. We offer you to take back the instruments of the instruments family DT 521 which you would like to dispose of.
2 Instruments description The newly developed DT 521 combines modern digital interfaces for connection to energy monitoring systems with a small, compact design. The DT 521 is always used when many machines (compressed air consumers) are to be connected/integrated to a energy monitoring network.
3 Intended use The DT 521 consumption sensor is used for continuous flow measurements. The DT 521 consumption sensor is designed and constructed exclusively for the intended purpose described here and may only be used accordingly. The user must check whether the instrument is suitable for the selected application. It must be ensured that the medium is compatible with the wetted parts.

Operation 10.3.2 Modbus settings 10.3.2.1 Modbus RTU Setup The Flow sensors DT 521 comes with a Modbus RTU Interface. Before commissioning the sensor the communication parameters • Modbus ID, Baudrate, Parity und Stop bit must be set in order to ensure the communication with the Modbus master.
Operation 10.3.2.2 Modbus TCP (Optional) The Flow sensors DT 521 comes optional with a Modbus TCP Interface (HW Interface: M12 x 1 X-coded connector). Device supports with this option the Modbus TCP protocol for communication with SCADA systems. TCP port is set to 502 by default. Port can be changed at the sensor or using PC Service Software Modbus device address (Unit Identifier) can be set in the range of 1- 255.
