5.2.4 RS-485
The physical layer for the Modbus
between pins 4 and 5 (A and B) is evaluated with a 2-wire system (half-duplex).
5.3 Modbus
®
The Modbus communication protocol is based on a master/slave architecture. The protocol implemented in the model
®
GD-20 gas density sensor is Modbus
The Modbus protocol is a single-master protocol. This master controls the entire data transfer and monitors any possible
®
timeouts (no reply from the addressed instrument). The connected instruments may only send telegrams after request by
means of the master.
Modbus RTU (RTU: Remote Terminal Unit) transmits the data in binary form, guaranteeing a good data throughput.

5.4 Modbus start-up kit
®
The gas density sensor, with the optionally available start-up kit (order no. 14075896), can be configured for operation
at the measuring location.
A further function is an integrated data logger, showing measured data in a specific cycle or writing it in a file.
The start-up kit consists of:
Power supply unit
■
Interface converter (RS-485 to USB)
■
USB cable type A to type B
■
Sensor cable with M12 x 1 connector
■
Adapter cable for GDM-100-TI
■
Modbus tool
