1.5 Instructions for use and maintenance

  • It can be directly put into water without adding a protective tube, ensuring the long-term stability, reliability and accuracy of the sensor.

  • If the water conditions are complex and you want accurate data, you need to wipe the sensor probe frequently.

1.6 RS485 Commands

RS485 signaldefault address TS01:0x15 TS200:0x19 TS4000:0x20

Standard Modbus-RTU protocol, baud rate: 9600; check bit: none; data bit: 8; stop bit: 1

1.6.1 Query address

send:

Original addressFunction codeAddress highAddress lowQuantity highQuantity lowCRC16 lowCRC16 high
0XFE0X030X000X500X000X000X510XD4

If you forget the original address of the sensor, you can use the broadcast address 0XFE instead. When using 0XFE, the host can only connect to one slave, which can be used as a method of address query.

response:

New addressFunction codeData lengthCRC16 lowCRC16 high
0X010X030X000X200XF0

1.6.2 Change address

For example: Change the address of the sensor with address 1 to 2, master → slave

Original addressFunction codeAddress highAddress lowQuantity highQuantity lowCRC16 lowCRC16 high
0X010X060X000X500X000X020X080X1A

If the sensor receives correctly, the data is returned along the original path.

Note: If you forget the original address of the sensor, you can use the broadcast address 0XFE instead. When using 0XFE, the host can only connect to one slave, and the return address is still the original address, which can be used as a method of address query.

1.6.3 Query data

Query the data (turbidity) of the sensor (address 15), host → slave

AddressFunction codeStarting register address highStarting register address lowRegister length highRegister length lowCRC16 lowCRC16 high
0X150X030X000X000X000X010X870X1E

If the sensor receives correctly, the following data will be returned, slave → host

AddressFunction codeData lengthRegister 0 Data highRegister 0 Data lowCRC16 lowCRC16 high
0X150X030X020X020X9A0X090X4C

The query data command is 15 03 00 00 00 01 87 1E

For example, the returned data is 15 03 02 02 9A 09 4C

02 9A is the turbidity value, converted to decimal, it is 666, and then divided by 10, the actual value is 66.6, 02 9A means the current turbidity value is 66.6 NTU
