Parameters for the bus communication
The SITRANS LG260 is preset with the default values:
Parameter
Baud Rate
Start Bits
Data Bits
Parity
Stop Bits
Address range Modbus
Start bits and data bits cannot be modified.
General configuration of the host
The data exchange with status and variables between field device and host is carried out via
register. For this, a configuration in the host is required. Floating point numbers with short prevision
(4 bytes) according to IEEE 754 are transmitted with individually selectable order of the data bytes
(byte transmission order). This "Byte transmission order" is determined in the parameter "Format
Code". Hence the RTU knows the registers of the SITRANS LG260 which must be contacted for the
variables and status information.

Holding Register
The Holding registers consist of 16 bit. They can be read and written. Before each command, the
address (1 byte), after each command, a CRC (2 byte) is sent.
