2 Set the communication address. To set a new address you have to
know the current address or the Unit ID/Long Address (HART) to
establish communication with the gauge. The default address is 0
for HART and 246 for Modbus.
To change the address, do the following:
1 Enter the address that is currently stored in the gauge (the default
address for a new gauge) into the address field.
2 Click the Read button.
Response: the Unit ID/Long Address is displayed.
3 Set the address of your own choice.
4 Click the Store button.
If the transmitter did not respond to the old address do the
following:
1 Enter the Unit ID (Saab Modbus)/Long address (HART) in the
corresponding field. The Unit ID can be found on the label, see
Chapter 3.
2 Enter the desired address in the Address field
3 Click the Store button.
If the transmitter did not respond to the old address, and you
can not find the Unit ID, (for example if the transmitter is lo-
cated far from the configuration PC), do the following:
1 Click the Scan Search button. Pro Setup automatically scans
through a range of possible addresses in order to find connected
devices.
Note! For Modbus devices the scan may be very time consuming if
the default address is still valid. Normally the scan starts at address
0 for HART buses and address 1 for Saab Modbus. You can enter
other start addresses in the Address field in order to reduce the
scanning time.
This function may be useful if you want to find out which addresses
that are currently used by connected devices.
2
Stop the scanning when the correct device is found.
The scan continues until a device is found, or until the search is
stopped by the operator.
3 Enter the address that you want to use for the particular device.
4 Click the Store button.
Now the address is stored in the gauge and will be used for the
communication between the PC and the transmitter.
