•The external, in-street antenna (part #68-2000-031) is
10 feet long, and used primarily in manhole applications.
The antenna is buried next to the manhole, in a hole
bored into the pavement, at a depth leaving the top of
the antenna flush with the street.
A connecting hole is drilled through the manhole collar
for the antenna’s cable. To complete installation, fill the
holes in with cement.

4.3.1 Connecting the
Antenna
The antennas are connected to the 2103
G using the connector on
the right hand side of the module.
The two types of antennas use a protective connector shell on the
end of the cable to protect the end connector from the elements.
On the magnetic mount antenna, this connector shell is installed
at the factory. If you order an in-street antenna, the shell is left
off to make it easier to install the buried antenna.
When you are ready to connect the in-street antenna to the
2103
G modem, you will need to assemble the connector shell onto
the end of the cable. The pieces of the connector shell are shown
in Figure 4-5. An instruction sheet (P/N 60-2003506) is shipped
with the antenna, and shows you the assembly steps.

Sections 5.1 through 5.5 give an overview of the basic capabilities
and operation of Modbus protocol as it applies to Isco 2100 Series
flow modules.
For a Glossary of Terms and Common Acronyms, see sections 5.4
and 5.5.
For Modbus technical specifications, turn to section 5.6.
5.1 IntroductionModbus is a simple command/response mechanism to read from
and write to specific memory locations called registers. A register
is a holding place for a piece of digital information within the
equipment. There are three standard protocols for Modbus:
Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP, and Modbus ASCII. The Isco 2100
Series devices use Modbus ASCII protocol, the metho [(vwssme)-4.6d0

Section 5 Modbus Protocol
By accessing these registers you can obtain the current value of
whatever parameter you desire. The reading(s) can then be displayed or stored wherever you designate as a destination; for
example, a process control computer.
Note
Level, flow, velocity, and temperature data is stored in metric
units only.
Not all registers are limited to read-only data storage. You can
also use some registers for control purposes. For example, by
writing a “1” value to register 24 (“Identify Module” register), you
will tell a 2100 module to light the LED on the front of the
module.
5.2.1 Establishing
Communication
5.2.2 Module AddressingWhen connecting to a site via a Modbus OPC server, you use a
There are several different communications protocols supported
in the 2100 series that require auto-baud rate detection. Because
of this, each time a modbus connection is made, the module uses
a polling mechanism to repeatedly send a command until a
response is received. It may take up to 20 command retries
before the module has identified the baud rate and a response is
received.
dedicated line of communication to that module or stack from the
OPC server, which can be a dedicated communications cable
(direct connection) or a dedicated phone number (modem).
When you are using a direct connection, you are dedicating a
specified COM port on the computer, and that COM port determines the site to which you are connecting.
When you are using a modem, the dedicated line is defined by
the site's phone number.
If you connect more than one 2100 Series module at a site, the
Modbus OPC server, while using the shared communication line
for all of the modules within the network, must have some way to
differentiate between the modules. When sending a command to
a specific module, the command has an address field. This allows
the server software to talk to, as well as control, the specified
module, while ignoring other modules in the same stack or site.
Each module capable of Modbus Protocol communication will
automatically create its own specific ASCII address within the
site, using:
• The model numbers of the modules
• The user-defined module names

Section 5 Modbus Protocol
5.3 ConfigurationsA variety of configurations can be made with Modbus, either
through direct connection or through a modem.
In the example shown in Figure 5-1, you are direct-connecting a
server PC to two individual 2150s through Modbus, using the
COM ports on the OPC Server, which are directly connected to
the remote 2150s.
Connection to the module is made through the RS-232 communication port on the top of the module.
Note
For low power operation, we recommend connecting the module(s) to the computer using the straight-through cable (Isco
part number 60-5314-529), which consumes less power,
instead of our standard interrogation cable.
In Figure 5-1, the OPC Server PC must have two COM ports.
Modbus requires one COM port each, for direct connection of
each 2150.
2150
2150
Figure 5-1 Configuration Example (Direct Connection Shown)
The operation sequence for the example above can be summarized in the following steps:
2150:
1. 2150s take readings from probes.
2. 2150s store readings (level, velocity, flow rate, etc.) in their
specified registers.
Process Control:
3. The user requests data through Process Control.
4. Process Control asks the OPC server to gather information.

5. OPC connects to the 2150 stack through the cable (direct
connection), takes register data from the specified 2150,
and populates the OPC server's holding index.
6. Process Control takes data from the OPC server's holding
index and gives data to the user.
Note that Process Control can be either manual or automated in
this example, and that the OPC server and Process Control may
be located physically on the same computer.
5.4 Glossary of TermsASCII – Short for American Standard Code for Information
Interchange, ASCII is a code that represents English characters
with numbers. Most computers represent text with ASCII code,
making it possible for one computer or device to share data with
another.
2100 modules support Modbus ASCII protocol.
Dedicated Line – A telecommunications path reserved for communication between two specified points and not shared among
multiple points.
Modbus Protocol – Modbus Protocol is a messaging structure
used to establish master-slave/client server communications
between intelligent devices. Modbus is a simple
command/response mechanism to read from and write to registers.
OPC – OPC (OLE for Process Control) means open connectivity
via open (free for use) standards. It is a series of software standards specifications that fill a need in automation (like printer
drivers did for Windows), acting as a translator for data transmission and process control.
The specification defines a standard set of objects, interfaces, and
methods for use in process control and manufacturing automation applications to facilitate interoperability. There are hundreds of OPC Data Access servers and clients.
Registers – Registers are locations in memory that have specific
data stored for retrieval or are used for control functions. A register is a holding place for a piece of digital information within
the equipment. The definition of what is contained and where
(the registry number, or address) is decided by the manufacturer
(in this case Teledyne Isco).
SCADA – SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition)
is a computer system for gathering and analyzing real-time data.
SCADA systems are used to monitor and control plant operation,
or equipment in industries such as telecommunications, water
and waste control, energy, oil and gas refining, and transportation.
The SCADA system transfers the information (for example,
where a leak has occurred in a pipeline), back to a central site,
alerting the home station of the leak, performing necessary
analysis and control (such as determining if the leak is critical),
and displaying the information in a logical and organized
manner.

SCADA systems can be relatively simple, such as one that monitors the environmental conditions of a small office building, or
very complex, such as a system that monitors all the activity in a
nuclear power plant or a municipal water system.

Section 5 Modbus Protocol
5.6 Register SpecificationsAll numbers in the Modbus registers are stored most significant
byte first. If the polling device has a byte ordering of least significant byte first (an Intel-based PC, for example), the bytes will
need to be reversed after they are received.
The Modbus ASCII address is used to index the data by modules.
Modbus ASCII address 1 contains information related to the site.
The first register contains a 16-bit integer count of the number of
modules that have data to report. The maximum number of
modules that can be supported is 4.
Modbus ASCII addresses 2 through the number of modules plus
1 contain data from the individual modules.
The Modbus ASCII addresses will be sorted by the model
number, and then by module name, which is entered by the user
through Flowlink. This allows the user to control the ordering of
the addresses and easily predict what data will be in specific registers.
Every measured parameter has a corresponding status and measurement time that are updated with each measurement.
The maximum number of supported measurements from all
modules in the system is 28.
The Modbus registers are assigned within 30 seconds after the
2100 module is powered up. To conserve power for the users who
do not use Modbus communications, no Modbus registers will be
updated with sensor readings until a Modbus master communicates with the 2100 module.
The register definitions for the Site Information device (Modbus
ASCII address 1) are in Table 5-1 below:
(1) A write to the Identify module register will cause the module to perform the identify operation which may be a steady
LED for a few seconds or a beep in the Field Wizard.
(2) Setting the Take Reading flag to 1 will cause the module to update the registers with current data readings. It will
be set to zero when the readings have all been updated. This may be used to initiate readings and poll for when
they are ready to be read. It may take up to 50 seconds to update all the readings, depending upon the flow conditions. Setting the Take Reading flag to 2 causes an automatic, 15 second update of readings when a Modbus
master is polling the 2100.
(3) The Update Interval specifies an interval in seconds that the registers are automatically updated. It defaults to zero,
which indicates that no automatic updating will occur.
(4) The Active Flag (1-4) bit fields specify what fields/registers are active in the list. This provides support for a maxi-
mum of 64 fields. For example, if bit 0 of register 27 is set, the Level (registers 40,41) is active. If bit 1 of register
27 is set, then the Velocity (registers 55,56) is active. If bit 0 of register 28 is set, the Analog channel 7 (registers
265,266) is active.
(5)A non-zero status code indicates a measurement problem.
(6) Time is represented in a series of registers: Order is from lowest address to highest - Seconds (0-59), Minutes (0-59),

Section 6 Maintenance
6.3 Desiccant The 2103 Modem uses desiccant to protect the internal compo-
nents from moisture damage. The cartridge is filled with indicating silica gel, which is blue or yellow when dry. As the
desiccant becomes saturated, the color changes from blue to pink,
or from yellow to green. Replace the desiccant before the entire
length of the cartridge turns pink or green.
6.3.1 Replacing the
Desiccant
Collar
Cartridge
6.3.2 Reactivating the
Desiccant
The desiccant is contained in a cartridge located on the left side
of the 2103 Modem. To remove the cartridge, unscrew the collar
and slide the cartridge out of the 2103 Modem. The clear tube
reveals the silica gel desiccant inside.
To replace the silica gel desiccant:
1. Hold the cartridge upright with the collar at the top.
2. As shown in the margin, push the collar off the cartridge.
3. Empty the saturated silica gel beads or granules.
4. Fill the tube with new (Isco P/N 099-0011-03) or reactivated (see section 3.3.2) silica gel desiccant.
5. Press the collar onto the tube.
6. Slide the cartridge into the 2103 Modem. Tighten the collar
to seal the cartridge in place.
Silica gel beads and granules of desiccant can be reactivated.
CAUTION
Desiccant may produce irritating fumes when heated. Observe
the following precautions:
• Use a vented oven in a well ventilated room.
• Do not remain in the room while the regeneration is taking
place.
• Use the recommended temperature. Avoid heating the
desiccant at higher than recommended temperatures.
6-2
There is the potential of irritating fumes coming from the desiccant during reactivation. Because of this, we urge you to use
caution, and to heat the desiccant in a well ventilated room.
Material Safety Data Sheets are in the back of this manual.
The desiccant’s ability to remove moisture may lessen with each
saturation/reactivation cycle, resulting in a need for more frequent service. After several cycles, the desiccant may no longer
be effective as it saturates too quickly. At this point, replace the
desiccant.
Page 53
2103 Modem Module
Section 6 Maintenance
Silica gelTo reactivate the silica gel desiccant, pour the spent desiccant
into a heat resistant container. Never heat the cartridge
assembly; it will melt. Heat the silica gel in a vented convectionoven at 212° to 350°F (100° to 175°C) for two to three hours, or
until the blue or yellow color returns. Allow the desiccant to cool
and store it in an airtight container until ready for use.
6.4 Hydrophobic FilterIf the 2103 Modem module is submerged, a hydrophobic filter
prevents water from entering the desiccant cartridge. Any
amount of water will plug the filter and it must be replaced so
the case will be reliably ventilated.
To remove the hydrophobic filter, grasp the filter and pull it from
the desiccant cartridge collar. The filter is only held in place by
its friction fitting; rocking it back and forth while pulling may
help. Firmly press the replacement filter (Isco P/N 60-2005-003)
in place.
If the hydrophobic filter frequently requires replacement, you
should consider relocating the modules so they are better protected. Alternatively, replace the existing hydrophobic filter with
the extension accessory package included with your unit. Follow
the instructions above to remove and replace the filter. Locate
the other end of the tubing in a dry location and secure it.
6.5 O-RingsThe communication connectors on the top and bottom of the 2103
Modem contain O-rings that need periodic lubrication and
replacement. The maintenance kit described in section 3.2 contains O-rings and silicone lubricant.
Whenever you replace the O-rings, or have removed them from
the connectors for some reason, you should lubricate the O-rings
by applying lubricant around the circumference of the ring.
Note
Do not use petroleum-based lubricants. Petroleum-based
lubricants will cause the O-ring to swell and eventually deteriorate. Aerosol silicone lubricant sprays often use petroleum
based propellants. If you are using an aerosol spray, allow a
few minutes for the propellant to evaporate before proceeding.
6.6 How to Obtain ServiceThe internal components of the 2103 Modem are not user-ser-
viceable. The case is completely sealed to protect the internal
components. To repair the unit, the case must be broken open
and replaced. If you think your module requires repair, contact
Isco’s Technical Service Department.
Corresponding with a Teledyne Isco Technical Service Representative can often resolve the problem without the need to return
the item. If the difficulty cannot be resolved you will be issued a
Return Authorization Number (RAN) and information on
returning it to the factory.

Human Toxicology Silica gel is a synthetic amorphous silica not to be confused with crystalline silica.
Epidemiological studies indicate low potential for adverse health effects. In the activated form, silica gel
acts as a desiccant and can cause a drying irritation of the mucous membranes and skin in cases of severe
exposure. Multisorb Technologies Inc. knows of no medical conditions that are abnormally aggravated by
exposure to silica gel. The primary route of entry is inhalation of dust.
