HPT200-CD RS485_HT_005 Protocol

1. Protocol introduction

Holykell dual-output sensor uses the standard Modbus-RTU protocol, the physical layer interface is
RS485, it adopts master/slave mode and the serial communication. The complete message frame is as follows:

Start bit Device Function Data CRC End character

address code check
Pause of more than 8 bits 8 bits n× 8 16 bits Pause of more than
3.5 characters bits 3.5 characters

2. Sensor default communication configuration

If the customer does not have any requirements for product communication, all the sensors shipped by
our company use the default configuration in the following table.

Communication Protocol Modbus-RTU

Communication Interface RS485

Device address 0x01

Baud rate: 9600

Data bits: 8

Serial port configuration Parity: None

Stop bit: 1 bit

4. Common Technical Problems

Question 1: How to obtain sensor output load
Send a request message to obtain the pressure unit, decimal point offset and real-time pressure value, as
follows:
Field Slave Function Starting Starting Quantity of Quantity of Error Error
Name Address Address Hi Address Lo Registers Hi Registers Lo Check Lo Check Hi

RTU (hex) 01 03 00 03 00 03 F5 CB

For example, the response message is as follows

2
Field Slave Function Byte Data1 Hi Data1 Lo Data2 Data2 Data3 Data3 Error Error
Name Address Count Hi Lo Hi Lo Check Lo Check Hi

RTU 01 03 06 00 01 00 02 00 64 BC 9E
(hex)

Dota1 (unit)=0x0001=kPa
Data2 (decimal point offset)=0x0002=0.01
Data3 (real-time measurement value)=0x0064=100
The sensor output is (100*0.01)kPa=1kPa

Question 2: How to modify the address/baud rate

For example, change the default address 1 of the product to address 2,
Send a modified address message as follows.

Send the saved message in the modified address state as follows (the slave address of the saved message
must be the modified device address).

Field Slave Function Register Register Write Data Write Data Error Error
Name Address Address Hi Address Lo Hi Lo Check Lo Check Hi
RTU (hex) 02 06 FF FF 00 00 89 DD

Question 3: How to try the zero offset function

For example: the measurement range of a product is (0~10)m, two decimal places are reserved, and the
output is -0.15 in no-load state. This parameter needs to be corrected to 0.00.

The hexadecimal value of 0.15 (IEEE745 single-precision floating-point number conversion) is required
filling in Write Data column, i.e 0x3E199999(as below), send the message through the data line.

Field Slave Function Register Register Write Data Write Data Error Error
Name Address Address Hi Address Lo Hi Lo Check Lo Check Hi
RTU (hex) 01 06 00 18 3E 19 D8 67

Field Slave Function Register Register Write Data Write Data Error Error
Name Address Address Hi Address Lo Hi Lo Check Lo Check Hi
RTU (hex) 01 06 00 19 99 99 F2 37

 Send the saved message after modification.
Field Slave Function Register Register Write Data Write Data Error Error
Name Address Address Hi Address Lo Hi Lo Check Lo Check Hi
RTU (hex) 01 06 FF FF 00 00 89 EE

Question 4: Sensor response message is garbled or no response

Please check in order according to the following steps:

1 Check whether the power supply of the product is normal.

2 Check whether the RS485A and RS485B signal wires of the

product are connected reversely
3 Check whether the serial communication line is normal.

4 Check whether the serial communication parameter

configuration is normal
5 Check whether the CRC of the sending request message is
correct
6 Check whether the sensor device address conflicts in the
networking state

If the problem persists, please contact the sales technician in time to solve it.

5. Notices
5.1 When the baud rate/address is modified, the sensor will reply the modified data with the baud rate
sent by the host. After the reply, the baud rate/address of the sensor will become the modified target
value.
5.2 In order to ensure the normal performance of the sensor, users generally are not allowed to modify
the calibration data of the sensor. If you need to re-calibrate the range, please contact the sales technician.
5.3 Read the real-time output as a double-byte integer, when the read value is 0xFFFF, it means "-1"
instead of "65535".
5.4 After modifying the address and other parameters, the save demand must be sent before the product
can be saved after power-off.
5.5 When sending a message, when the slave address and content data change, the CRC will also change.
Please use a professional CRC calculation tool to calculate the CRC.
