METER ADDRESS

The Serial Setup Parameters are only active when one of the optional serial

communication/programming cards is installed in the meter.

Refer to the CUB5USB bulletin for details on the CUB5 USB programming

and programming requirements. This section replaces the bulletin shipped with

the RS232 and RS485 serial communications plug-in cards. Discard the

separate bulletin when using those serial plug-in cards with the CUB5B and

CUB5R.

BAUD RATE

Set the baud rate to match that of other serial communications equipment.

Normally, the baud rate is set to the highest value that all of the serial

communications equipment is capable of transmitting and receiving.

Select either 7- or 8-bit data word length. Set the word length to match the

other serial communications equipment on the serial link.

This parameter only appears when the Data Bit parameter is set to a 7-bit

data word length. Set the parity bit to match that of the other serial equipment

on the serial link. The meter ignores parity when receiving data and sets the

to force the frame size to 10 bits.

Enter the serial node address. With a single unit, an address is not needed

and a value of zero can be used (RS232 applications). Otherwise, with multiple

bussed units, a unique address number must be assigned to each meter. The

node address applies specifically to RS485 applications.

This parameter determines the formatting of data transmitted from the meter

for a full print transmission, consisting of the meter address, mnemonics, and

parameter data only. This setting is applied to all the parameters selected in the

PRINT OPTIONS. (Note: If the meter address is 0, the address will not be sent

during a full transmission.)

This parameter selects the meter values transmitted in response to a Print

Request. A print request is also referred to as a block print because more than

one parameter can be sent to a printer or computer as a block.

Note: Inactive parameters will not be sent regardless of the print option

setting. For example, Counter B or Scale Factor B will only be sent if Counter

B is enabled (Dual Counter mode or batch count). Likewise, the Setpoint

value(s) will not be sent unless an optional setpoint card is installed in the meter.

COPY

COPY PROGRAM SETTINGS

NO

YES

This parameter is used to copy all the program settings from one CUB5

meter directly to another CUB5 meter, through the serial communications cards

(RS232 or RS485). The USB programming card cannot be used for the copy

procedure. No PC connection or additional software is required. Copying

program settings eliminates the need for repetitive programming when multiple

meters use identical settings.

Copy Requirements:

To copy program settings from one meter to another requires the following:

1. Both meters must have the same software version (Version 3.1 or later). The

version is displayed during the meter power-up sequence, or in Module 3 at

the Software Version Display parameter. (See Module 3 for details)

2. The meter receiving the program settings (receiver) must have the Baud Rate

set to 9600 baud. Since this is the factory default setting, a new meter will

arrive ready for copying. The meter sending the program settings (master)

should be set to the desired Baud Rate for the application (if different than

9600). This Baud Rate setting will then be copied to the receiver.

Copy Connections:

To connect the meters for copying, install a serial communications card of

the same type into each meter (RS232 or RS485). Connect the meters using the

proper cable listed in the chart.
