What baud rate does the DFRobot SEN0603 use by default?

9600 bps, 8N1. It is a Modbus-RTU slave; default address 1.

What supply voltage does the DFRobot SEN0603 need?

DC 5–30 V (Low (RS-485 bus-powered class)).

How do I change the DFRobot SEN0603 Modbus address?

Write the device-address register with function code 0x06, one device on the bus at a time, then power-cycle. See the Configuration section above.

Is the DFRobot SEN0603 compatible with the Sankhya platform?

Yes — it is in the Sankhya RS-485 sensor library and the firmware-generation pipeline can produce node firmware for it.

Configuration

Changing address & baud rate

This probe is configured over the same RS-485 bus using Modbus write commands (function code 0x06). Configure one device at a time on the bus.

Set the Modbus slave address by writing register 07D0H (PLC 42001) with function code 0x06.
Set the baud rate by writing register 07D1H (PLC 42002).
Power-cycle the probe after a configuration write for the change to take effect.
