2 | Product and functional descriptionFISCHER Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH
The basis of the DE43 transmitter comprises two piezoresistive sensor elements.
The pressure that is to be measured acts upon a silicone membrane that is
equipped with a resistor bridge. The acting pressure causes the membrane to
move and therefore a change in resistance. The bridge signal is analysed by
the integrated electronics and converted to a pressure value.
The DE43 transmitter communicates with an overriding control system via an
RS 485 interface and a Modbus RTU protocol. The currently measured value is
forwarded by the overriding control system on request.
The device also has a connecting slot for two or four proximity switches whose
signals can also be queried through the Modbus by the overriding control system.
2.5 Intended use
The digital 2-channel transmitter DE43 is suitable for measuring pressure, under-pressure, and differential pressure in neutral gaseous media. The measured
value is transferred to an overriding control system via an RS 485 interface with
a Modbus RTU protocol.
Optionally, the device can monitor up to four external potential-free contacts,
and send their switching status to the overriding control system.

3 Assembly
3.1 General
The device is designed for installation onto flat assembly plates. For screw connection to the assembly plate, the device features four assembly bores on its
back, which can be used for Ø 3.5 mm tapping screws.
Optionally, the device can be delivered with a wall-mounting plate. This is also
available as accessory.
At the factory, the device is calibrated for vertical installation, but the installation
position is arbitrary.
The enclosure protection type IP 65 is only guaranteed, if a suitable power supply cable is used (see accessories).
If the device is intended for outdoor use, we recommend permanent protection
against against constant rain or snow, however at the least a sufficiently dimensioned canopy.
3.2 Process connection
• By authorized and qualified specialized personnel only.
• The pipes need to be depressurized when the instrument is being connected.
• Appropriate steps must be taken to protect the device from pressure surges.
• Check that the device is suitable for the medium being measured.
• Maximum pressures must be observed (cf. Tech. data)
The pressure lines must be installed on a gradient so that no water pockets for
gas measurements can be created. If the required gradient is not reached, water filters need to be installed at suitable points.
The pressure lines must be kept as short as possible and installed without any
tight bends to avoid delays.
The process connections are marked with (+) and (-) symbols on the device.
The pressure lines must be mounted according to these symbols.

The process connections are suitable for hoses made of various materials (PA,
PU, Teflon, etc.) with the following dimensions:

3.3.1 Modbus RTU network
The DE43 is usually connected in a line network structure as a so-called slave
to the Modbus RTU network. Up to 123 bus participants can be operated
without an amplifier on one strand
NOTICE!Star-shaped networks are not allowed.
Fig.12: Modbus RTU network
Communication is effected solely via a Modbus master that is also connected to
the bus system. The connected slaves only react to direct commands from the
master, which is why communication between the slaves is not possible.
To guarantee fault-free data transmission, we recommend terminating the end
point of the Modbus RTU network with a 120Ω resistor. These bus terminating
resistors are available as accessories.
It can be connected to an existing Modbus network via a conventional T-piece
(passive TAP).

Please note that the M12 plugs are suitable for max. 2A. This value may
already be exceeded if there are more than 23 bus participants (without digital
inputs). For this reason, an intermediate feed should be provided at a suitable
place.
Fig.15: Intermediate supply
Please note that a DE43 with digital inputs has a higher power draw. If the bus
participants are equipped with digital inputs, the number of possible bus participants of a supply circuit are reduced.
The power draw of a device x with n digital inputs is calculated as follows: Ix =
55 mA + (n*4.5 mA)
This is calculated for the first bus participant and each of its successors. The
results are accumulated in sequence until the result exceeds the limit value 2 A.
The interim feed is then set after the bus participant k at which the total current
of the supply circuit last lay below 2 A.

4.1 Generalities
A prerequisite for commissioning is correct installation of all electrical supply
lines and the pressure lines. All connections are arranged so that there are no
mechanical forces acting on the device.
Also, know-how of the Modbus RTU protocol and the bus architecture are required to commission the bus system.
4.2 Config select
The DE43 Transmitter can be configured using an 8-digit DIP switch. To this
end, the sealing plug in the front plate needs to be removed. Below this is an 8pin DIP switch which can be used to configure both the Modbus address and
also the interface.
Fig.16: Access to the DIP switch
After all settings have been made, close the front plate with the plug. Always
use the original seal in this case. The sealing plug is screwed in tightly by hand.
4.2.1 Interfaces configuration
NOTICE!An X marks a random switch setting

The switch S8 is used to select between the interface configuration and Modbus
address setting. For the interface configuration, ensure that the switch S8 is always in the setting ON.

4.3 Modbus functional description
The following describes the Modbus functions that support the DE43 Transmitter. The descriptions are initially kept general as explained in the Modbus Pro-
tocol Specification and are then supplemented with the unique features of the
DE43.
4.3.1 Modbus Transaction
A Modbus transaction comprises two parts. A request from the Master and a response from the Slave.
Fig.19: Error-free request/response cycle
If an error occurs during a Modbus transaction, the Function Code is replaced
with a special Function Code with an error indicator in the Modbus Response
message and a more detailed description of the error in the data field is sent.
Fig.20: Faulty request/response cycle
4.3.2 Modbus telegram
The maximum size of a Modbus telegram is 256Byte. The telegram comprises a
1 byte slave address, a 1 byte function code, the data and a 2byte CRC-checksum.

The states of the digital inputs are summarised as bytes in the response. The
number of bytes (N) is the result of the number of inputs divided by 8. If there is
a rest, the number of bytes increases (N=N+1).
However, as the DE43 only has a maximum of 4 inputs, only 1 byte is transferred as a response.
The states of the digital inputs from the bit with the lowest value are saved
within a byte. A bit value of 0 corresponds to the status OFF; a bit value of 1
corresponds to the status ON.

The Object ID Code states on which object of the 'stream access‘ should start. If

• Check the function in combination with downstream components.
• Check the leak-tightness of the pressure connection lines.
• Check the electrical connections.
The exact test cycles need to be adapted to the operating and environmental
conditions. In combination with other devices, the operating instructions for the
other devices also need to be observed.
5.2 Transport
The measuring device must be protected against impacts. It should be transported in the original packaging or a suitable transport container.
5.3 Service
All defective or faulty devices should be sent directly to our repair department.
Please coordinate all shipments with our sales department.
WARNING
Process media residues
Process media residues in and ondismantled devices can be a hazard to
people, animals and the environment. Take adequate preventive measures. If
required, the devices must be cleaned thoroughly.
Return the device in the original packaging or a suitable transport container.
5.4 Disposal
Please help to protect the environment by always disposing of the work pieces
and packaging materials in compliance with the valid national waste and recycling guidelines or reuse them.
