4.Signal Output

Signal output: analog current/voltage output, UART output, 485 output, users can need to customize.

Note: When the module is cold started, the concentration value signal obtained within two minutes after power-on is not used as the measurement basis.

4.1.Analog current/voltage output

Analog current output range (4mA~20mA), 4mA corresponds to 0ppm, 20mA corresponds to gas concentration at full scale. Customers can also customize.

Analog voltage output range (0.4V~2.0V), 0.4V corresponds to 0ppm, and 2.0V corresponds to the gas concentration at full scale. Customers can also customize.

4.3.MODBUS communication protocol

THREE PROTOCOLS ARE AVAILABLE: MODBUS RTU, MODBUS ASCII OR MODBUS CUSTOMIZATION.

4.3.1 MODBUS custom protocol

Host send protocol format

A protocol consists of fixed-format packets. The size of the packet varies depending on the content of the packet.

byte	content
1	Address of the communication unit (sensor address)
2	STX Character (0x23)
3	Message code 0x52 (read) or 0x53 (write).
4	Data length (packet length minus 6).
5	Data first
6	Second bit of data
7... ....n-2	Other data
n-1	0x21
n	8-digit check digit XOR

The address of the first byte communication unit of the packet: This refers to the address of the lower computer unit when the host communicates with the lower computer. The second byte of the packet is STX character, which is fixed. The third byte of the packet indicates whether the packet is a read command or a write command. 0x52 is to read the command 0x53 write the command. The fourth byte of a packet is the bit length describing the data contained in the entire message, which is equal to the packet size minus 6. Data is transferred sequentially from low byte to high byte. Text is routed from left to right. Once all data has been transferred, the end of the data will be indicated by 1 byte 0x21. The last byte of the protocol is the checksum to verify the correctness of the transmitted data.

The factory address of each sensor is set to 32 (20H), and when the user modifies the sensor address, the corresponding forehead button must be continuously held down for more than 10 seconds to restore the address factory setting.

4.3.2 MODBUS RTU Protocol

Host send protocol format

A protocol consists of fixed-format packets. The size of the packet varies depending on the content of the packet.

byte	content
1	Address of the communication unit (sensor address)
2	Function code
3	First place in the data area
4	Second digit in the data area
5	Third place in the data area
6	Fourth place in the data area
...... .	Other data

Address of the communication unit: This refers to the address of the lower computer unit when the host communicates with the lower computer. The second byte of the packet indicates whether the packet is a read command or a write command. 03 indicates that the message is a read command, and 06 indicates that the message is a write command. CRC is used for verification to verify the correctness of transmitted data. Data is transferred sequentially from low byte to high byte. Text is routed from left to right. After all data is transmitted, the CRC check low and high bits will end.

The device returns the protocol format

A protocol consists of fixed-format packets. The size of the packet varies depending on the content of the packet.

Command type

(1) Read the sensor concentration value: such as reading the current sensor data No. 32 (20H).

The host sends a command to the sensor:

20 03 00 00 00 02 C2 BA

20: Current sensor address

03: Read the sensor concentration

00 00 00 02: Data area content

00 00 is address 00 02 is quantity

C2: CRC high

BA: CRC low

The basic principle of cyclic redundancy check code (CRC) is: after the K bit information code, then splicing the R bit check code, the entire coding length is N bits, therefore, this code is also called (N, K code. For a given ( N,K ) code , it can be shown that there exists a polynomial G(x) with a highest power of N-K = R. A checksum of K-bit information can be generated from G(x), and G(x) is called the generative polynomial of this CRC code. The specific generation process of the check code is: assuming that the information to be sent is represented by the polynomial C(X), shift C(x) to the left by R bits (which can be expressed as C(x)*2R), and so on To the right of C(x), the R bit will be free, which is the position of the check digit. The remainder obtained by dividing C(x)*2R to generate the polynomial G(x) is the check digit.

The device returns the following data:

If the total range is within 65536 ppm:

20 03 04 00 20 0B E8 CD 85 (decimal).

If the total range is greater than 65536 ppm:

20 03 06 00 20 00 00 0B E8 33 9D (decimal).

20: Current sensor address

03: Read the sensor concentration

04/06: Data area length (The length of the returned data area is related to the total range ordered by the customer, if the maximum range ordered by the customer is within 65536 ppm, then the returned data area length is 04 (100ppm return number: 20 03 04 00 20 00 64 CB 10 ), if the maximum range is greater than 65536 ppm then the returned data area length is 06 (100 ppm return number: 20 03 06 00 20 00 00 00 64 35 08)

The red part is the data bit, and the blue part is the data area length

00 20 : Displays the current sensor address 0x20

0B E8: Displays the sensor gas concentration in PPM, the specific value depends on the address and concentration of the sensor

The above data are all decimal numbers, and it is necessary to convert them to base 10 numbers before calculating the concentration value

For example:

If the total range is within 65536 ppm:

0B is decimal 11; The decimal of E8 is 232, then the concentration value is: 11*256+232=3048 (ppm value of decimal).

If the total range is greater than 65536 ppm:

00 is 0 for decimal; 0B is 11 for decimal; The decimal of E8 is 232, then the concentration value is: 0*65536+11*256+232=3048 (ppm value in decimal).

CD: CRC high

85: CRC low

CRC check values refer to the same as above

(2) Set the sensor address: For example, change the sensor address of 32 (20H) to 01

The host sends a command to the sensor:

20 06 00 00 00 01 4E BB (decimal).

20: Current sensor address

06: Function code (set sensor address).

00 00 00 01: Data area (modified sensor new address 00 01, i.e. 01).

4E: CRC high

BB: CRC low

The CRC check value is the same as above

The device returns the following data:

20 06 00 00 00 01 4E BB (decimal).

Same as input

After changing the address, the new reading command only needs to change the first address to the current address after the modification and perform CRC verification to obtain a new check bit:

01 03 00 00 00 02 C4 0B (decimal).

The device returns the following data:

If the total range is within 65536 ppm:

01 03 04 00 01 0B E8 AC 8D (decimal).

If the total range is greater than 65536 ppm:

01 03 06 00 01 00 00 0B E8 1B CB (decimal).

The new set sensor address command is:

01 06 00 00 00 XX xx xx

XX: is the address that needs to be modified again

xx xx: New check digit

*This command is the serial port debugging assistant command modbus poll under the data display window, double-click the address display table to set a new address by modifying value

(3) About setting the initial address of the sensor

Short MCDL, zero calibration within 8 seconds, more than 10 seconds for the initial address of the sensor The default is number 32. The factory address of each sensor is set to 32 (20H), and when the user modifies the sensor address, the address must be restored by holding the corresponding forehead button continuously for more than 10 seconds.
