Abstract
Getting Tech Support - Communications between Omni flow computers is accomplished using the peer-
Technical support is to-peer function. This function is available only on Serial Port #2 with data being

are available. The transaction list must be contiguous (i.e., an empty transaction

or email to:
techsupport@omniflow.com Two optional serial communication I/O modules are available with your flow
computer: the RS-232-C (compatible) Model #68-6005, and the RS-232-C/RS-
485 Model #68-6205. The older Model #68-6005 is only capable of RS-232
compatible serial communications. The newer Model #68-6205 is capable of
either RS-232 or RS-485 communications via a selection jumper. When
jumpered for RS-232, the characteristics and functionality of this module is
identical to that of the older RS-232-C module.
Entry 1 : This entry is the Modbus ID for the next flow computer master. A
non zero entry here is what actually turns on the peer-to-
peer function. Modbus ID’s for master devices in the link must
be assigned starting at 1, and for maximum efficiency not contain
any missing ID’s (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, Not 1, 3, 6, 10, for instance).
Entry 2 : This entry is the Modbus ID for the last flow computer master.
Any master failing to find the ‘next master’ will keep trying
Modbus ID’s until it reaches this ID, it will then start the search
again at Modbus ID 1.
Entry 3 : This entry is used to setup the communication retry rate. When
the peer-to-peer link is solely comprised of Omni flow computers
this entry should be set to 3 ticks (150 msec).

The peer-to-peer communication link may also be used to transfer data to and
from any other Modbus slave device such as a PLC. The following diagram
shows a typical installation using RS-485 where two flow computers are
connected to a PLC in a two-wire, multi-drop mode.

Setting up Transactions
To process a transaction the flow computer requires the following data for each
transaction:
Modbus Broadcast Slave ID : The Modbus address of the target device.
Address ‘0’ - This address This can be any valid Modbus address
only applies to write
transactions.
including the broadcast address ‘0’.
Read or Write : Select the appropriate operation.
Source Point Number : Specifies the data base address of the
variable in the source device. For a read
operation the slave is the source. For a write
operation the source is the Omni flow
computer master.
Number of Points : The number of consecutive data variables to
transfer between devices, starting at the
source point number or address.
Destination Point Number : Specifies the data base address of the
variable in the destination device. For a write
operation the slave is the destination. For a
read operation the destination is the Omni
flow computer master.

The examples above refer to Meter #1 transactions that the flow computer is
requesting. More transactions may be needed depending upon what data is
required and how many meter runs are being used.
