3.- CVM CH-8 COMMUNICATIONS

One or more CVM CH-8's can be connected to a computer or PLC. As well as the RS-232 / RS-485
CONVERTER
usual operation of each piece of equipment, data may also be centralised at one
single point by using this system (Power Studio System). The CVM CH-8 has an
RS-485 series communications output. If more than one unit is connected to one
RS-485 series line, it is necessary to assign a number or address to each (from 01
to 255) so that the central computer sends data to those addresses.

To change the setting for the communications see section 2.

The RS-485 connection is made with woven mesh shielded communications

cables, with a minimum of three wires and with a maximum distance between PC
and the last analyzer of 1,200 metres. The CVM CH-8 uses an RS-485 CVM CH-8
communications line which can be connected to a maximum of 32 analyzers in
parallel (multi-point Bus) for each series port on the computer used.

The CVM CH-8 system analyzer communicates using the MODBUS RTU ©
protocol (Question/ Answer).
