Lobaro Pressure Sensor
Reading from the Lobaro Pressure Sensor using the Hybrid Gateway can be done by setting the following parameters in the configuration:
Paramter | Value | Comment |
---|---|---|
PlFmt | 5 | Sets the payload to a short format |
MbCmd | 0 0/5 * * * *:R,9600,8N1:010300020003 | Reads the Registers 2 to 4, the cron can be changed, for more info see CRON Expressions |
Sample upload from the Gateway:
0x00 | 0x00 0x07 | 0x00 0x03 | 0x02 0x11 |
---|---|---|---|
Header, for more info see Hybrid Modbus Gateway (ext. Power) | Unit is mH2O | 3 decimals precision | Current Value |
The Value is transmitted as 16 bit signed int in Big Endian format with 3 decimals presicion.
The sample hex value of 0x0211 translates to 529 decimal. Considering the 3 decimals precision the value is 0,529 mH2O.
