General Overview: The document is an operating manual for the Digital Transmitter DTM.OCS.S, focusing on communication protocols and maintenance procedures. It details the use of Modbus function codes and custom STS commands for data transmission and device configuration.
Modbus Communication: The manual outlines the Modbus message frame structure, which includes address, function code, data words, and CRC checksum. It emphasizes the importance of a valid CRC for message integrity. The document also describes the custom STS function code (0x64) used for communication with the transmitter, where commands and parameters are ASCII encoded.
STS Commands: The STS command structure allows for various operations such as reading pressure and temperature (MEASURE command), querying available measurement channels (GETPROBE command), and setting parameters like pressure unit and offsets. The document provides examples of command usage and expected responses, including status messages like OK, FAIL, BUSY, and ERROR.
Supported Units: The manual lists supported pressure units (e.g., mH2O, mbar, bar) and temperature units (e.g., °C, °F, K), ensuring compatibility with various measurement standards.
Modbus Standard Commands: Function Codes 3, 4, and 16 are used for standard operations such as reading pressure, temperature, maximum and minimum values, and changing the device's Modbus address. The document provides hex-code examples for these commands.
Technical Data: The manual refers to the data sheet for detailed technical specifications of the transmitter.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance is advised, particularly cleaning the membrane to prevent damage. Specific instructions are provided for cleaning, including precautions against using sharp objects and the removal of plastic parts before descaling.
Cleaning and Maintenance: The document advises against using additional aids for scale removal to prevent membrane damage. For scale deposits, a commercial descaler is recommended, followed by flushing with water. In cases of strong contamination, cleaning with a cotton swab and liquid benzine is suggested, ensuring the membrane is not damaged.
Recalibration and Disposal: The digital transmitter should be returned to STS for recalibration and disposal.
Troubleshooting: The document outlines error messages related to STS Modbus commands, including 'BUSY', 'FAIL', and 'ERROR', with corresponding troubleshooting steps. It also covers error messages for Modbus standard commands, detailing exception codes and their meanings.
Modbus Command Codes: A table provides mapping of Modbus command codes, detailing addresses, formats, ranges, and descriptions for parameters like pressure, temperature, firmware version, and Modbus address.
Appendix and Index: The appendix includes a mapping of Modbus command codes, while the index provides a comprehensive list of topics covered in the manual, such as cleaning, commissioning, communication, disposal, maintenance, recalibration, and troubleshooting.
Contact Information: Contact details for STS Group companies in Switzerland, Italy, Germany, France, and Great Britain are provided, including phone numbers, fax numbers, and email addresses.
