The Troubleshooting of Rs485 Digital Transducer
   
 

The red LED does not light after power on

  • Check the connections and the power supply to ensure its voltage meets the requirement shown on the label.
  • Check the operation current of power supply, the normal value is about 30mA.
  • If everything is OK, the red LED must be damaged.

The red LED blinks once per 2S after power on (normally it blinks once per 100mS)

  • Strong interference causes the transducer can not operate normally and reset the watch dog of the transducer.
There are some malfunctions with the communication
  • Check the setting of address and baud rate if it is correct. For all transducer originally delivered, their originally address is set as 1
    and the baud rate is set as 9600bps, the communication format is n,8,1.
  • Check the commands used if they are in conformity with the introductions. The CE-A transducers can communicate with ASCII
    code and MODBUS protocol.
  • If the green LED does not blink when the transducer sends data. it means that there is a trouble with the communication circuitry,
    so the transducer cannot receive the responded data.
  • If the green LED blinks only once (for about 1mS). It means that wrong address or wrong command is used, the transducer can
    receive response data, but the data is wrong and then the transducer stops its receiving.
  • If the green LED blinks for decades of milliseconds during communicating, it means the transducer can receive normally and then
    make response to send data. Then if the host computer can not receive the data from transducer, please check the receiving of
    RS485 or RS232 or check the receiving by using software. We recommend that you can use a serial communication port debugging
    software to test the receiving to see if the data frame is correct.

The value of power is shown as a negative value

  • When the value of active power is negative, it means the current input is connected in reverse direction, please reconnect the
    current input in correct direction.
  • If the value of power of a 3 –phase-4-wire transducer is shown only about 1/3 of the actual total power, it means one of input
    phase lines is connected in reverse direction, please reconnect the input phase line in correct direction.
No value of frequency is shown
  • Make sure the voltage of phase A is connected correctly. The value of frequency is obtained from phase A.
How to change the address and the baud rate?
  • The address and the baud rate can be changed by using of the testing software of CE-A transducers. You can download
    the software from our website. If the transducer has a toggle switch, you can set the address and the baud rate by changing
    the different combination of the toggle switch.

There is no communication while I send the order, Red LED blinks per 100ms, green LED never blink

  • Please check the hardware connection
  • Please make sure the baud rate and the AD of the products are corresponded with your system
  • Please make sure the communication protocol and the commands format are correct

There is no communication while I send the order, Red LED blinks per 100ms, green LED slightly blinks (only lasts 1 ms)

  • The communication protocol, baud rate or command format would be incorrect. Please check them according to the specs.
    of the products that you ordered

The product couldn’t work after it works normally for some time. The red LED blinks per 1 second

  • Please check the hardware connection.
  • Please make sure the baud rate and the AD of the products are corresponded with your system.
Error codes output
  • There would be some noise interference in the bus of RS485 or RS232C, you can have the products tested in the lab

The products were tested well, but it can’t work with some brands of the PLC in the fieldwork

  • There might be a time delays of the PLC, but our product don’t have. Please refix it.

When does the red and green LED blink?

  • When the power on, the red LED blinks. When the unit is in data communication, the green LED blinks

Could your product work with MODBUS and ASCII cord at the same time?

  • No, please fix one of them while your ordering
