S15CM Modbus® to PWM and PFM Converter 

## S15CM Features 

- Compact converter that connects to a Modbus® device and outputs the value as a pulsed signal, either PFM or PWM 

- Modbus registers are used to define PWM and PFM setting 

- Outputs can be independently configured as NPN or PNP 

- • Rugged overmolded design meets IP65, IP67, and IP68 • Connects directly to a sensor or anywhere in-line for ease of use

## Configuration Instructions 

## Sensor Configuration Software 

The Sensor Configuration Software offers an easy way to manage converter Modbus settings, retrieve data, and visually show converter data. The Sensor Configuration Software runs on any Windows machine and uses an adapter cable (BWA-UCT-900, p/n 19970) to connect the converter to the computer.

## S15CM Status Indicators 

## Power LED Indicator (Green) 

- Solid Green = Power On 

- Off = Power Off 

Modbus Communication LED Indicator (Amber) 

   - Flashing Amber (4 Hz) = Modbus communications are active 

   - Solid Amber for 2 Seconds to Off = Modbus communications are lost after connection 

   - Solid Amber for 2 Seconds to Flashing Amber (4 Hz) = Modbus communications momentarily lost, but communication reestablished 

   - Solid Amber = Modbus communications are intermittent, or communications error occurs more frequently than once every 2 seconds 

- (1) Registers are big endian.

## FCC Part 15 Class B for Unintentional Radiators 

(Part 15.105(b)) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. 

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 

(Part 15.21) Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. 

## Industry Canada Statement for Intentional Radiators 

This device contains licence-exempt transmitters(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 

1. This device may not cause interference. 

2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. 

Cet appareil contient des émetteurs/récepteurs exemptés de licence conformes à la norme Innovation, Sciences, et Développement économique Canada. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: 

1. L’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage. 

2. L’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
