MD-Profile system

Codici di riferimento: S431HD, S432HD, S431HA, S432HA Le sonde MD-Profile sono state progettate per essere installate in catena continua all’interno di tubi lisci e senza scanalature. Il sistema è particolarmente adatto per applicazioni geotecniche o strutturali nelle quali è richiesta una profilazione verticale o orizzontale ad elevata precisione. Gli strumenti sono collegati meccanicamente ed elettricamente […]

FAQ#116 – How do I configure a WR-Log digital node to read RS485 Sisgeo TIMED sensors?

Sisgeo digital instruments can operate in two powering modes: TIMED or ALWAYS-ON (for more information see F.A.Q.#094.A string of mixed instruments consisting of TIMED gauges and ALWAYS-ON gauges cannot work.The first thing to do is therefore to check that ALL connected instruments in your array are set to TIMED mode.You can check the powering mode […]

FAQ#095 – How long does a chain of digital sensors take to be read?

It mainly depends from the powering mode of the gauges (refer to FAQ#094 for the description of the powering modes). AN EXAMPLE WILL BETTER CLARIFY THE ANSWER. In a batch of 240 gauges, unless otherwise requested by the Customer, the addresses are settled from #001 up to #240. In a borehole is installed a chain of 30 […]

FAQ#077 – Which are the maximum cable lengths from instrument to datalogger?

The cable lengths depend from many factors, first of all installation and cable protections (screen, earth, etc…). Assuming that instruments are installed in a workmanlike, for the maximum cable lengths should be followed the next suggestions: DIGITAL INSTRUMENTS: see FAQ#73 ANALOGUE INSTRUMENTS: see both downloadable documents.

FAQ#076 – Why it is necessary add a termination resistor to the last digitized sensor of each RS-485 chain?

All SISGEO digitized instruments  (IPIs, Tiltmeters, H-Level…) use the RS-485 serial communication protocol The RS485 protocol contemplate a termination resistor. The recommended chain connection is point-to-point (multidropped) nodes as a bus mode (line). Star, ring or multiply network connection are not recommended. SISGEO dataloggers has already a termination resistor assembled (typically 120Ω). On the opposite […]

FAQ#075 – Which parameters are save into SISGEO digitized sensors?

All SISGEO digital sensors (IPIs, Tilt-meters, RDSs, H-Level etc..) use the serial RS-485 communication protocol.The SISGEO digital sensors are joined through an electrical cable, so only one cable is used to take reading. In agreement with Customer, they are configured in factory for:

FAQ#073 – Which is the maximum number of digitized sensors (RS-485, Modbus), the maximum number of chains and the maximum length of cable in a RS-485 network?

Last update: October 2021 All the SISGEO digitized sensors utilize a RS485 interface with Modbus protocol. 1.The maximum number of digitized sensors in a RS-485 network are 247 (theoretical) 2.The maximum number of digitized sensors chains that is possible to connect to Modbus master unit (as OMNIAlog or miniOMNIAlog) are 4. 3. About the maximum […]
