Introduction

PMsense is a PM1.0, PM2.5 and PM10 Particulate Matter transmitter suitable for outdoor air quality monitoring. The dust particles concentration is measured using the laser scattering principle. An optional CO2 sensor can be integrated in the transmitter (PMBsense). The transmitter has a digital RS485 output with MODBUS-RTU or ASCII proprietary protocol. A version with two additional 0/4…20 mA (0…10 V on request when order-ing) analog outputs is available. The two analog outputs can be independently associ-ated with any of the measured parameters. The measuring circuit of the transmitter can be operated in continuous mode or, in order to extend the PM sensor lifetime, at cyclic intervals (default operating mode). The measuring cycle interval is user- configurable. The transmitter is maintenance-free and has fast response, high sensitivity, excellent stability and long operating life.

RS485 output and analog outputs connections

RS485 output:

The RS485 output is not isolated. Before connecting the sensor to the RS485 network, set the address and the communication parameters, if different from the factory preset

Current analog output (only PM[B]sense-A):

By default, the current analog outputs are 4…20 mA, with:

• 4 mA = 0 μg/m3
• 20 mA = 1000 μg/m3

The analog output 1 is associated by default to PM2.5. The analog output 2 is associated by default to PM10.
With the commands of the proprietary protocol, it is possible to associate the analog outputs to different parameters, set the range 0…20 mA for the output and reverse the direction of the output, so that the output decreases as the measurement increases.
In case of measurement error, the output goes to 22 mA.

Voltage analog output (only PM[B]sense-V):

By default, the voltage analog outputs are 0…10 V, with:

• 0 V = 0 μg/m3
• 10 V = 1000 μg/m3

The analog output 1 is associated by default to PM2.5. The analog output 2 is associated by default to PM10. With the commands of the proprietary protocol it is possible to associate the analog outputs to different parameters, set the range 2…10 V for the output and reverse the direction of the output so that the output decreases as the measurement increases. In case of measurement error, the output goes to 11 V.

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 MODBUSRTU protocol. In the first 10 seconds after the instrument power on, it is always active the proprietary 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. The commands of the proprietary protocol and the registers of the MODBUS-RTU protocol are described in detail in the following chapters.

Particulate Matter measurement modes:

The transmitter can perform the PM measurement in continuous mode or, in order to extend the sensor lifetime, at cyclic intervals (default). In the measurement mode at cyclic intervals, the PM sensor is activated periodically for the ON time. The measurement is made available after 70 seconds from sensor activation (warm-up time). At the end of the ON time, the measurement is “frozen” and the sensor is deactivated until the set cyclic measurement interval expires.

The measurement mode, the cycle interval and the sensor ON time can be configured respectively by using the CPLS, CPLP and CPLO commands of the proprietary protocol or the holding registers with address 15, 16 and 18 of the MODBUS-RTU protocol.

The transmitter provides three types of measurements:

• average over a 10 seconds interval, updated every second;
• average over a 60 seconds interval, updated every 10 seconds;
• average over a 15 min interval, updated every minute.

For the measurement mode at cyclic intervals, the cycle interval and the ON time must be set consistently with the desired averaging interval.

Status of the transmitter:

There are two LEDs on the internal electronic board of the transmitter: the green LED indicates the presence of the external power supply (blinks once per second), the red LED indicates the presence of any measurement errors (normally off, it blinks twice per second if at least one of the measured parameters is in error).

ASCII proprietary protocol

To use the proprietary protocol, it is necessary to connect the instrument to the PC via a RS485/USB (e.g. RS51K) or RS485/RS232 converter and use a standard serial communication 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 communication 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.

CO2 calibration (only PMBsense…):

A 2-point (CO21 and CO22 commands) or 1-point calibration (CO2O command) can be performed. The points are chosen by the user. To perform the calibration, the transmitter must be placed in an environment with a known CO2 concentration.
While the 2-point calibration allows moving the two calibration points independently, and therefore also to adjust the slope of the sensor response curve, the 1-point cali-bration simply adds an offset to the measurement (the two calibration points are shifted of the same amount) and is typically accomplished by placing the transmitter in clean air. Before performing the calibration, the type of calibration to be used must be set to “user” with the CC command. The transmitter allows manually setting, with the DA command, a string that is saved as the date and time of the calibration. The string must be set before performing the calibration.

The transmitter must first be placed in an environment with a known CO2 concentration (the value n entered in the command).

The value t in the reply to the command indicates the number of seconds required for the transmitter to com- plete the calibration operation. During this time, the transmitter sends strings notifying the progress of the operation; for example:

“CO2 calib. Status:IN PROGRESS 8% Avg:1096ppm Dev:0ppm”

At the end, the OK 100% notification indicates that the operation was successful; for example:

“CO2 calib. Status:OK 100% Avg:1100ppm Dev:7ppm”

CO22n| & t|| CO2 calibration in the second point at n ppm.

Operation is similar to the CO21 command.

CO2On| & t|| CO2 calibration at n ppm (1-point calibration – offset ad- adjustment).

Operation is similar to the CO21 command.

day/mm/dd hh:mm:ss| &|| Saves the string “aaaa/mm/gg hh:mm:ss” as the date and time when calibration is performed.

The command must be sent before performing the calibration.

GA| & yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss| Reads the date and time saved with the DA command.
CCn| &|| Sets the type of calibration to be used:

§ User if n=0

§ Factory if n=1

Default : Factory (n=1)

CO2D| &|| Reset of user calibration.

Restoring the factory configuration:

Modbus-RTU protocol

By default, the instrument has MODBUS address 1 and communication parameters 19200, 8E1. The address and the communication parameters can be changed by using the appropriate serial commands of the proprietary protocol or, alternatively, directly with MODBUS commands by changing the value of the Coils and Holding Registers de-scribed later. The MODBUS-RTU protocol, if set as the operating protocol (default), is active after 10 seconds from the instrument power on. In order to change the instrument configuration using the MODBUS-RTU protocol, the value 1 must be written first in the Coil with address 1.
