Which communication protocols does the sensor support?
The sensor is capable of outputting oil condition and oil temperature in both an analog signal and a digital signal as follows:
Analog:
4-20mA
Digital:
Modbus RTU on RS485*
CANopen on CANbus*
J1939 on CANbus*
Tan Delta Protocol on RS485*
*Details of the communication protocol specifics can be found in the master product manual found in our DOWNLOADS section of the website.
All protocols output a value for both Oil condition (TDN) and oil temperature.
