Omega Link Smart Interface Overview

The Omega Link IF-001 and IF-002 smart interfaces provide an easy way to configure, integrate, and monitor your Omega Link Smart Probes. The IF-001 and IF-002 are both fully compatible with SYNC configuration software, the Omega Link Cloud, the Omega Link family of hardware Gateways, and Omega Enterprise Gateway software. Omega Link Smart Interfaces provide both a simple command line interface, for quick configuration and monitoring, and Modbus RTU support, for integration with industrial networks. The command line interface allows interactive visualization of the connected Omega Link Smart Probe through accessible text strings using any terminal emulator.

The M12 8-pin female connector provides 3.3 VDC power for external Omega Link Smart Probes with an integrated power monitor to protect against short circuits.

Operating Requirements: Windows OS 10 and above

The following LED status indicator table provides descriptions of the different Smart Interface behaviors.

1. IF-001
   The IF-001 provides an easy way to configure and monitor Omega Link Smart Probes using SYNC or other configuration tools. The IF-001 is a USB CDC / VCP device (serial interface), allowing it to connect to computers that do not have a native serial port. The USB 2.0 compliant device is compatible with Windows.

2. IF-002
   The IF-002 allows Omega Link Smart Probes to connect to existing RS485 Modbus RTU serial networks. An M12 5-pin male connector provides a standard RS485 serial interface. The IF-002 can run off a wide range of power, from 5 to 36 VDC, allowing broad compatibility while providing regulated power to Smart Probes.

Smart Interface Pin Layouts

IF-001: Smart Probe to USB
The IF-001 can connect direct to the Omega Link Smart Probe through an M12 8-pin female connector as shown in the example below. The connector supports the required I2C + INTR signal lines and the Smart Probe power signals. The shield connection is coupled to the Serial Connector.

The Smart Probe Discrete I/O signals are not internally connected. An M12.8-S-M-FM and M12.8-T-SPLIT are required to access the Discrete I/O Use the wiring diagram below to connect your Smart Probe and Discrete I/O accessories to the IF-001 cable.

IF-002: Smart Probe to Modbus RTU
The IF-002 is used to connect to an existing Serial Modbus network through its M12 5-pin connector and directly to M12 Smart Probes through its M12 8-pin connector. The serial 5-pin connector provides the RS485 differential pair signal (A’, B’), power input, and a shield signal. The device will accept external power in the range of 5 – 36 VDC with reverse polarity and overcurrent protection up to 300 mA.

Additionally, a 5-pin M12.5B-S-F-FM connector and a third-party USB to RS485 Serial Converter Cable are required to establish a connection from the IF-002 and the USB COM Port of your PC or Modbus device. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your USB to RS485 to successfully connect the IF-002 wire leads of the USB to RS485 cable.

An M12.8-S-M-FM and M12.8-T-SPLIT can be attached to the Smart Probe prior to connecting to the IF-002 to access the discrete I/O using the following wiring diagram. Refer to Figure 3 for a setup example.

IF-001 and IF-002 Serial Communication

The serial communication parameters may be configured over the serial channel or SYNC configuration software. The factory default configuration conforms to the required Modbus RTU standard.
The IF-001 is a virtual COM port and will accept any serial port baud rate.

Refer to the table below for the default serial configuration of the IF-002:

Default Serial Configuration

Modus Address| 1
Address Range| 0
Baudrate| 115200
Parity| Even
Stopbits| 1
Databits| 8

Serial Packet Format

Communications to the IF-001 and IF-002 are based on serial data frames. For serial terminal sessions, the “transaction” ends on the receipt of a CR (0x0d) character. For Modbus RTU transactions, the entire transaction must adhere to the Modbus serial RTU time specifications.

The IF-002 uses the first byte of the transaction (the start-of-frame character) to determine the type of transaction. For the Command Line Interface, the first character denotes the operation to be performed as indicated in the following table:

Start of Frame

Character

| Hex| Interpretation
---|---|---

| 0x23| Command Line Interface comment line (ignored)

:| 0x3a| Start of Frame for Modbus ASCII frame
?| 0x3f| Command Line Interface ‘Help’ command – display command / current state

summary

C| 0x43| Command Line Interface ‘Configure’ command – configure Smart Probe device
O| 0x4F| Command Line Interface ‘Options’ command – configuration options
R| 0x52| Command Line Interface ‘Read’ command – read any Smart Probe register
T| 0x54| Command Line Interface ‘Trigger’ command – trigger an event on Smart Probe device
V| 0x56| Command Line Interface ‘View’ command – view Smart Probe data and status
W| 0x57| Command Line Interface ‘Write’ command – Write any Smart Probe register
Any other

character

| Any

other

| Indicates register address for a Modbus RTU frame

Any other byte value appearing at the start of the frame is interpreted as a Modbus RTU Modbus device address.

Note: This requires excluding several Modbus addresses in the RTU mode, but in most cases, this will have no impact.

Modbus Register Mapping
The IF-001 and IF-002 accept RS485 Modbus RTU packets. The IF-001 / IF-002 maps the Modbus register addresses to internal configuration registers and to external I2C registers.

Modbus Register = ((Smart Probe 12C Register) / 2) + 0xf000

0xffff are not recognized and will result in an INVALID ADDRESS response
0xec00 – 0xefff| Registers 0xec00 – 0xefff are reserved for configuration of the IF-001 / IF-002
0xf000 – 0xf7ff| Registers 0xf000 – 0xf7ff are mapped to the external I2C device(s)
0xf800 – 0xf800| Invalid Address

Configuration Registers
The configuration registers are stored in non-volatile memory. Changes to the serial configuration and Modbus address take effect after the Modbus Transaction.

I2C Status
Modbus registers 0xefd0 – 0xefd9 provide access to statistics indicating the number of I2C errors and retries.
The Retry counts indicate the number of transactions that resulted in an NAK. When an NAK is detected, the IF-001 / IF-002 will automatically generate up to 3 retries. If an NAK is detected on the 3rd attempt the transaction is dropped, an error is reported and the Read or Write Error count is incremented. The Indirect Retry count is incremented if an NAK is generated when writing the Indirect register (0x0030).

System Control Register

1. INTR Mode
   The INTR Mode determines how the Smart Probe INTR signal is handled. If it is set to PROCESS, the Command Line Interface activity is processed. If it is set to Notify, the device will send a NOTIFY command through the Command Line Interface. For Modbus applications, the INTR Mode should be set to IGNORE.

2. Verbose
   The Verbose mode offers expanded information when in the Command Line Interface mode.

3. Hex
   The Hex mode causes the data to be displayed as HEX values in the Command Line Interface mode.

4. Device Reset
   Writing a 1 to the device reset bit will force the device to re-initialize using the current configuration information.

5. Factory Reset
   Writing a 1 to the Factory Reset bit will force a factory reset and all configuration parameters will be returned to the initial factory default values.

6. Reset Stats
   Writing a 1 to the reset stats bit will force the I2C Statistic counters to be reset to 0.

Serial Configuration (IF-002)
All serial line configuration is done through the serial channel using Modbus or Command Line Interface commands and the configuration information is retained in non-volatile memory. When accessed via Modbus, the serial configuration parameters are accessed at a Modbus register address which is outside of the range mapped to the Smart Sensor registers. When altering the communications parameters, any changes occur after the acknowledgment of the Modbus command.

The device serial configuration word is located at Modbus register address 0xeff4.

Configuration Update
The IF-002 Modbus commands accept changes to the serial configuration (Baudrate, Parity, Stop Bits, Data Bits) but does not apply them until the next power cycle or a Device Reset trigger has been received. This allows all serial configuration parameters to be set using Modbus commands without having to change the host settings as each configuration setting change is made. All other configuration changes are applied immediately.

The sequence to change the communication parameters over the Modbus connection is:

Step 1: Change one or more parameters – each change is acknowledged using the current Serial settings

Step 2: Issue a Write command to the IF-002 System Control Register with the Device Reset bit set.

The command will be acknowledged using the current settings and then the serial channel will be reconfigured to reflect the new settings.
The Command Line Interface includes a Serial command that allows you to set the serial channel. These take immediate effect. In general, the terminal emulator must be reconfigured after the command to match the new configuration.

Serial Configuration Recovery
The IF-002 serial configuration may be reset to the factory default values by momentarily connecting the SCL (M12 8-Pin Pin 3) and SDA (M12 8-Pin Pin 4) signal lines together and cycling power. To reset the IF-002 to its factory default settings, follow these steps:

Step 1: Disconnect power from the IF-002 by disconnecting it from your Modbus Network.

Step 2: Unplug any smart probe connected to your IF-002.

Step 3: Short pins 3 and 4 on the 8-Pin connector on the IF-002.

to Smart Probe

Step 4: Apply power to the IF-002 for 3 seconds from the 5-pin connector.

Step 5: Reconnect your Omega Link Smart Probe and apply power.

Command Line Interface

Note: The following Command Line Interface section can be applied to both the IF-001 and the IF-002.
The command line interpreter allows human-readable commands to be sent to the smart sensor device through a terminal emulator which are widely available and may be easily installed on a PC or Linux systems. The COM channel enumerated by the device must be selected and must be configured to match the serial configuration parameters.
(Refer to Appendix A).

1. Help Command
   The Help command uses the ‘?’ character and will display a brief summary of the available commands and options.
   It is useful to determine if the IF-001 / IF-002 is successfully communicating and does not require a smart probe device to be connected.

2. Alternate Address {Add}
   The I2C address used to access the Smart Sensor device defaults to 0x68, unless overwritten by the Options command. The address may be further overwritten in each command by enclosing the address in { } bracket.

3. Numeric Formats
   Data may be entered or displayed as hexadecimal, decimal or float values. The standard output shows data in decimal or hex format depending on the Verbose H/h/D mode setting, which may be overwritten using formatting characters. The following formatting characters are accepted: Data Type| Suffix| Example (Assume Hex Option Selected)
   ---|---|---
   Byte| <none, default>| R 0x68 -> display single byte value
   16-bit

integers

| i| R 0x68 20 2 i -> result displayed as 0x1234
32-bit

integers

| l (lower case ‘L’)| R 0x68 20 2 l -> result displayed as 0x12345678
Floats| f.n (n == precision)| R 0x68 0x3c 4 f.3 → result displayed as 12.345, precision is optional

and defaults to 1 digit.

Strings

|

S/s

| R 0xe0 s → result displays the user-defined device name located at 0xe0

W 0xe0 “My Name” → will write a new device name to the string. Be

cautious not to exceed the maximum string lengths.

  1.  **Invalid Commands**  

Since the first character of the serial record is used to determine the Command Line Interface command and all other characters are treated as Modbus Start of Frame (‘:’) or address values, no interpretation is made of characters other than those shown in the Help summary and no error reporting will be generated.

3. Command Repetition @, #, /  

The Read, Write, View, Configure and Trigger commands may be set up to repeat a specific number of times with an optional repetition rate. Repeated commands are terminated if an error occurs or any keyboard entry is made.

  * The ‘@’ symbol causes the command to be repeated indefinitely, at the fastest possible rate. If the @ symbol is specified, the # and / may not be used.
  * The ‘#’ symbol, followed by a numeric value, causes the command to be repeated the specified number of times.
  * The ‘/’ symbol, followed by a numeric value, allows specifying a delay in seconds between each command repetition when using the ‘#’ option.  

If no repetition information is provided the command will be executed once.

2. Read Command
   The Read command accepts the repetition information, the starting register number, the number of elements to be read and the format of the data. The starting register location must be provided while all other fields are optional. If the number of elements is omitted, it is assumed to be one. If the data format is omitted, it is assumed to be BYTES. There may be multiple elements and related format information contained within a read. Commas or spaces may be used to separate the individual values.
   R(ead) register [ <format <.precision>> …]
   The simplest form is R 0x????, where 0x???? represents a value between 0x0000 and 0x0fff. The command will return a single byte from the specified location. A more complex example would be Read 0x38 1l 4f.2 to read the current time, and the 4 sensor readings. The Time information is stored in register 0x38 as a 32-bit long value and is then immediately followed by the four sensor results stored as floating-point values at locations 0x003c ..0x004b.
   // Location 0x3c represents the sensor readings, stored as floating point values.
   // Read a single byte from the start of the sensor values (default count is 1, type byte)
   R 0x3c
   [Dev: 0x68 Reg: 0x3c Cnt: 0x01 -> 0x41 ] // Read 2 bytes (the format defaults to BYTE)
   R 0x3c 2
   [Dev: 0x68 Reg: 0x3c Cnt: 0x02 -> 0x41, 0xb7 ] // Read 3 ‘long ‘ (4 byte) values, representing 12 (0x0c) bytes
   R 0x3c 3l
   [Dev: 0x68 Reg: 0x3c Cnt: 0x0c -> 0x41b73333, 0x42483d71, 0x447605c3 ] // Read 3 ‘float’ ( 4 byte ) values, representing 12 ( 0x0c ) bytes, default precision is 2
   R 0x3c 3f
   [Dev: 0x68 Reg: 0x3c Cnt: 0x0c -> 22.8, 50.1, 984.0 ] // Read 3 float values and display with 4 digit precision
   R 0x3c 3f.4

Configure Sensors and Outputs
When configuring sensors and outputs, multiple Sensor or Output Types may be presented. If any of the ‘options’ related to the Sensor or Output Type are selected the device will be reset to ensure enumeration of the selected type and the remaining options (CLK A, RST etc.) may change.

In addition to selectable options, sensors may also contain Sensor Parameters, whose floating-point values are maintained in a fixed memory space allocated for each sensor. Sensor Parameters are displayed showing the corresponding allocated space. The corresponding Sensor Parameter may be read or written using the Read and Write commands.

Option Command
The Option command allows configuring the IF-001 / IF-002 device to use default values to simplify the user interface by providing extended formatting options. Changes to the Options settings are retained in the internal Flash memory.

O(ptions) <V/v(erbose)> <H/h(ex)/D(ecimal)> <I(gnore) | P(rocess) | N(otify) INTR handling> <A/a(ddr for I2C) =?> <S(peed) =?> <M(odbus Addr) =?>

Characters shown in parenthesis (..) are optional. To Enable an option, specify the name with an upper-case character. Multiple options may be specified in the same command line in any order. To disable the option, specify the name with a lower-case character.

interrupt
P (rocess)| Process the Smart Sensor INTR device interrupt
N (otify)| Notify via notification message on interrupt occurrence
A (ddress) = nnn| Set the address to be used when accessing the smart sensor device
a (ddress)| Set the default I2C address (0x68)
S (peed) = nnn| Set the I2C bus clock speed to be used
M (odbusAddr) = nnn| Set the Modbus address to be used

The serial port settings can be changed using the command line interface. To set the Modbus Address on your IF-001 / IF-002, use the following command:

O(ptions) M(odbusAddr) = X

Note: For Modbus RTU operation the Modbus Address must be unique, Databits must equal 8, and Stopbits must be set to 1.
Serial commands should be entered in the same line and can be separated by a comma. Use the following table and example to set your serial configuration:

To Set the Serial Configuration options on your IF-001 / IF-002, use the following command:

S(erial) B(audrate) = X, P(arity) =X, D(atabits) = X, S(top) = X
To reset the IF-001 / IF-002 serial configuration to default, type the following command:
S R
Multiple Options may be combined into a single command line.

Example:

The response from the Options command is a summary of the current settings. Entering the O command with no parameters returns the current settings.

INTR Processing
Smart sensor devices use I2C in a request/response configuration, where the IF-001 / IF-002 is always the ‘master’that initiates requests to the attached smart sensor device. If the attached device wishes to initiate a transaction, a separate active low interrupt signal (INTR) is provided.

Ignore INTR
If the IF-001 / IF-002 is configured to ignore the INTR signal (I) the corresponding hardware interrupt signal is disabled. No changes are made to the attached device.

Process INTR
Note: The processing of the INTR signal generates data whenever an interrupt is generated by the device. This behavior is not compatible with Modbus RTU and the I(nterrupt) processing mode MUST be set to Ignore if Modbus is to be used.

If the IF-001 / IF-002 is configured to process the INTR signal (P) the attached device is preconfigured,enabling the interrupts indicated below and the hardware interrupt is enabled. A handler is enabled to process the INTR signals. Upon receipt of an interrupt from the smart sensor device, the IF-001 / IF-002 adaptor will perform the following actions based on the INTERRUPT STATUS bits register read from the device.

O P
Verbose, Hex mode, Process INTR, I2C Addr: 0x68 @ 50 kbp, Modbus Addr: 0x01

• 10-19:48:47 23.0 .C 16.0 %RH 1014.0 mbar
• 10-19:48:53 23.0 .C 16.0 %RH 1014.0 mbar

If the INTR is configured to notify (N), an alternate handler is loaded which will generate a Notify message consisting of the Interrupt Status read from the device. No change is made to the INTERRUPT CONTROL register.

O N
Verbose, Hex mode, Notify on INTR, I2C Addr: 0x68 @ 50 kbp, Modbus Addr: 0x01

• N 0x68 0x02 0x0020
• N 0x68 0x02 0x0020
• N 0x68 0x02 0x0020

The Notify information consists of the device address (0x68), Register Index (0x?? = Interrupt Status),number of bytes (0x02), and the value.
Writing to the integer INTERRUPT CONTROL register at location 0x16 allows changing the enabled interrupts.

I2C Address
The IF-001 / IF-002 defaults to using I2C address 0x68. The default may be overwritten by setting the Address = ??. If a lower case ‘a’ is entered it resets the address back to the default 0x68 value.

Bus Speed
The I2C bus speed defaults to 40 kb/second, suitable for up to 5-meter cable lengths. This may be changed from values 20 to 100 kbits/second. Note that changing this value will have a minimal impact on overall performance.

Modbus Address
The IF-001 / IF-002 defaults to Modbus address 0x01, which may be overwritten with the M(odbus) option.
