Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the Modbus (RS-485) version or the 1-Wire version?
This is the QM42VT2 model, which uses Modbus RTU over RS-485. The QM42VT1 model is the 1-Wire serial version.
Can this be used with any PLC?
Yes, if the PLC or gateway is a Modbus RTU master on RS-485 and can read the sensor registers.
What is it not compatible with?
It is not compatible with 1-Wire serial interfaces (that requires QM42VT1). It is also not intended for personnel safety or protection applications.
Do I need special tools to configure it?
Common setup uses Modbus register configuration. Banner Sensor Configuration Software and a BWA-HW-006 adapter cable are often used (Not confirmed).
