Default parameters: Parity: N (No parity), Baud rate: 9600 bps. 1. Protocol Type: MODBUS Protocol Communication format: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit. Address range: 1-247; address 0 is the universal broadcast address. When a write command uses address 0 (broadcast address), all sensors respond to the command but do not send a reply. Configuration commands (Function Code 06): Password authentication is required prior to executing any configuration command; authentication must be performed for each setting operation; otherwise, there will be no response.

The X-axis corresponds to bytes 1 -4 of the data field, the Y-axis to bytes 5-8, the Z-axis to bytes 9-12, temperature (T) to bytes 13-16, Am to bytes 17-18, freq to bytes 19-20, and offset to bytes 21-22. All data follows big-endian format (most significant byte first). The XYZ angles and temperature (T) are stored as float32 values; Am, freq, and offset are stored as uint16 values. Am and offset are in millimeters (mm), and the frequency (Hz) is obtained by dividing freq by 100. Taking the aforementioned data frame as an example, the angle conversion process is as follows: 6) Vibration frequency...

Data frame returned by the module: Password authentication is required before the operation; upon success, the original command is returned; otherwise, there is no response. • The method for calculating the CRC code is: 1. Initialize a 16-bit register to hexadecimal FFFF (i.e., all bits set to 1); refer to this as the CRC register; 2. Perform an XOR operation between the first 8-bit binary data (the first byte of the communication message frame) and the lower 8 bits of the 16-bit CRC register, storing the result in the CRC register; 3. Shift the contents of the CRC register one bit to the right...
