6 HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS
6.1 RS485 INTERFACE
General technical specifications Note
Baud rate 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600bps
Data format 1 start / 8 data / 1 stop bit / no parity
1 start / 8 data / 1 stop bit / even parity
1 start / 8 data / 1 stop bit / odd parity
Address 1 to 255
Broadcast Yes (address 0 with function 06)
Standard functions 04: Read function (max 108 words)
06: Write function (max 1 word)
Special functions 80: Read from Flash memory (data-logging)
Answer buffer 264+5 byte A
Identification code 16 (10h) B
Synchr. Time-out 3 chars C
Physical interface MAX1482
RX termination Jumper between Rx+ and T terminals
Available connections 4-wire (RS422 half duplex interface) D
2-wire (RS485 interface)
Note:
A. With a single request maximum 132 words can be read from WM4.
B. See paragraph 1.4 WM4-96 identification code.
C. It is the time that must elapse without receiving any character before starting the analysis of
the received frame.
D. RS422 interface is managed with the same protocol of the RS485 one: in this way only the
half-duplex communication is allowed (TX and RX not simultaneous).
Timing characteristics for 4-wire communication msec
T response: max answering time 600ms
T response: typical answering time 100ms
T delay1: minimum time for a new query on the same address 10ms
T delay2: minimum time for a new query on a different address 10ms
T null: maximum interruption time on the request frame 3 char
