Introduction

  • BAROsense is a barometric transmitter equipped with a precision piezo-resistive pressure sensor with integrated temperature sensor. The pressure and temperature measurements are digitally processed to obtain a pressure output value compensated over the whole transmitter temperature operating range.
  • The sensor is factory calibrated in multiple points and has excellent time stability and re-peatability.
  • The pressure can be expressed in different user-selectable units of measurement.
  • The instrument has a digital RS485 output with MODBUS-RTU or proprietary proto-col. As option, it can be supplied with an additional analog output, which can be selected by the user in current or voltage via an internal jumper. The current output is user configurable 0…20 mA or 4…20 mA (default), while the voltage output must be defined when ordering (0…1 V, 0…5 V or 0…10 V).
  • The transmitter digital output enables the transmission of the measurements over long distances and connects the transmitter to sensors networks.
  • Optional LCD display.
  • Optional input for combined temperature and relative humidity probe. With the external probe connected, the instrument calculates the dew point, the absolute humidity and the wet bulb temperature.
  • Available as an accessories a static port with support bracket to minimize the effect of dynamic pressure due to the wind in open field measurements.

Installation

  • The transmitter is wall mounted using the two holes on the back (open the cover to access the holes and the terminal header for electrical connections).
  • It is advisable to mount the transmitter so that the pressure input is facing down-wards, in order to reduce the accumulation of dust and dirt on the input.
  • For outdoor installation, the use of the optional static pressure port is recommended, in order to minimize the measurement error caused by the wind flow on the pressure input (the measurement deviation due to wind is less than 0.3 hPa @ 20 m/s if the static port is used). The static port includes a support bracket suitable for fixing to a Ø30…50 mm mast.Senseca-PBS83M-BAROsense-Barometric-Transmitter-fig-3

Electrical connections

  • The transmitter has an internal screw terminal header for connecting the power supply and the outputs, and optionally an M12 connector for connecting the external temper-ature and relative humidity probe.Senseca-PBS83M-BAROsense-Barometric-Transmitter-fig-4

  • The analog output, if present, can be in current or voltage, configurable via the jump-er to the right of the terminal header.Senseca-PBS83M-BAROsense-Barometric-Transmitter-fig-5
  • To the left of the terminal header there is a built-in line termination that can be con-nected or removed through a short jumper. To connect the termination, place the short jumper between the “RT” and “CLOSE” indications. To remove the termination, place the short jumper between the “RT” and “OPEN” indications.

Configuration and measurement

  • The configuration of the instrument and the reading of the measurements can be done via the RS485 serial output, both with the proprietary protocol and with the MODBUS-RTU protocol.
  • In the first 10 seconds after the instrument power on, it is always active the proprie-tary protocol. After 10 seconds from power on, the operating protocol is activated, which by default is the MODBUS-RTU protocol.
  • It is possible to keep the proprietary protocol active even after 10 seconds from power on by sending, before the 10 seconds expire, the command @ of the proprietary protocol. The proprietary protocol can be set as operating protocol by means of the DP0 command.
  • By default, the instrument has MODBUS address 1 and communication parameters 19200, 8E1. Different parameters can be set using the proprietary protocol or the MODBUS-RTU protocol.
  • The commands of the proprietary protocol and the registers of the MODBUS-RTU pro-tocol are described in detail in the following chapters.

Analog output:

  • The output is current or voltage depending on the configuration of the IOUT / VOUT jumper on the board. By default, the current output is 4…20 mA and the voltage out-put is 0…1, 0…5 V or 0…10 V depending on the model.
  • The analog output is preset to correspond to the pressure range 600…1100 hPa.
  • Using the proprietary protocol or the MODBUS-RTU protocol it is possible:
    • to associate the analog output to a different pressure range, within the full measuring range;
    • to associate the analog output to the temperature or relative humidity measured by the optional external probe or to the calculated humidity quantities;
    • to add/remove an offset to the output minimum value (e.g., change from 0…10 V to 2…10 V or from 4…20 mA to 0…20 mA);
    • to reverse the direction of the output, so that the output decreases as the meas-urement increases.
  • In the event of a measurement error, the output goes to a value 10% higher than the full scale (e.g., 11 V if the output is 0…10 V or 22 mA if the output is current).

Status of the transmitter:
The transmitter version with LCD option has two front LEDs: the green LED indicates the presence of the external power supply (blinks once per second), the red LED indi-cates the presence of any measurement errors (normally off, it blinks twice per sec-ond if in error).

ASCII proprietary protocol

  • To use the ASCII proprietary protocol, it is necessary to connect the instrument to the PC via a RS485/USB or RS485/RS232 converter and use a standard serial communica-tion program. In the serial communication program, set the COM port number to which the instrument is connected and the communication parameters as follows:
    • If the MODBUS-RTU protocol is set as the operating protocol in the instrument (default), set the Baud Rate 57600 and the parameters 8N2 in the serial commu-nication program, then power cycle the instrument and send the command @ within 10 seconds from the instrument power on.
    • If the proprietary protocol is already set as the operating protocol in the instru-ment, it is possible to operate with Baud Rate 57600 and parameters 8N2 by sending the command @ within 10 seconds from the instrument power on, or you can let the 10 seconds pass without sending the command @ and operate with the communication parameters set in the instrument (default 19200, 8E1).
  • To change the instrument configuration, the serial command CAL USER ON must be sent first (the instrument replies with USER CAL MODE ON). The command CAL USER ON is automatically disabled after a few minutes of inactivity. If the settings should be only read, the command CAL USER ON is not required.
    Below is the list of the serial commands.

Note 3: The value is a 32-bit integer; two consecutive registers starting from the one indicated must be accessed to read it. The register with lower address contains the least significant bits.
Note 4: The value is an integer, expressed in the set unit of measurement and must take into account the resolution corresponding to the set unit of measurement. For example, if the set unit of measurement is hPa, the value indicates hundredths of hPa (60000 equals 600.00 hPa. The number is automatically converted if the unit of measurement is changed (which must therefore be set first).
Note 5: The defaults changes automatically if the quantity associated with the output changes. The defaults are -400 (=-40.0 °C) / 600 (=60.0 °C) for temp. measurements, 0/1000 (=100.0%) for RH.
