Lobaro Pressure Sensor

Reading from the Lobaro Pressure Sensor using the Hybrid Gateway can be done by setting the following parameters in the configuration:

ParamterValueComment
PlFmt5Sets the payload to a short format
MbCmd0 0/5 * * * *:R,9600,8N1:010300020003Reads the Registers 2 to 4, the cron can be changed, for more info see CRON Expressions

Sample upload from the Gateway:

0x000x00 0x070x00 0x030x02 0x11
Header, for more info see Hybrid Modbus Gateway (ext. Power)Unit is mH2O3 decimals precisionCurrent 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.
