1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F193-X
Functions and features
The Modbus slave display model F193-X is a microprocessor driven instrument designed as local
Modbus display with outputs which are controlled though communications as well. In total nine
different product values can be displayed, maximum four alarm switch outputs and one analog
output can be controlled.
This product has been designed with a focus on:
ultra-low power consumption to allow long-life battery powered applications (type PB / PC),
intrinsic safety for use in hazardous applications (type XI),
several mounting possibilities with aluminum or GRP enclosures for harsh industrial
surroundings,
transmitting possibilities with analog / control and communication outputs.
Communication input
This manual describes the unit with a ASCII / RTU Modbus protocol input through a RS232 / RS485
(2-wire or 4 wire). No additional inputs are available, all data is coming through the communication.
Standard outputs
Alarm output: up to four outputs can be controlled through the communication and in the mean
time a alarm message can be displayed.
(0)4-20mA / 0-10V analog output: any value within it’s range can be transmitted through
communication. The minimum and maximum signal output levels can be tuned.
For security reasons, it is also possible to enable and disable all outputs locally through the
keyboard of the F193-X.
