What does 485 communication (modbus protocol) mean in a pressure transmitter?
The pressure transmitter has a common 4-20mA output and has Hart protocol. There is also 485 communication which is the modbus protocol. Today we will talk about what is 485 communication.
MCU pin outputs TTL level. TTL level means when the MCU pin outputs 0 level. In general, the voltage is 0V. When the MCU pin outputs 1 level, the voltage is 5V. Because the TTL level is generated by a signal line and a ground line. The interference signal on the signal line will be transmitted to the receiving end with the effective signal, so that the effective signal is interfered. 485 communication actually converts the TTL level from the MCU through a converter chip in the hardware layer.
485 communication features:
- RS-485 electrical characteristics:
Logic “1” is represented by the voltage difference between the two lines being + (2-6) V. Logic “0” is represented by the voltage difference between the two lines being-(2-6) V. The interface signal level is lower than that of RS-232-C, so it is not easy to damage the chip of the interface circuit. And this level is compatible with TTL level, which can be easily connected to TTL circuits. - The maximum data transmission rate of RS-485 is 10Mbps.
- The RS-485 interface is strong, which means it has good anti-noise interference.
- The standard value of the maximum transmission distance of the RS-485 interface is 4000 feet, in fact it can reach 3000 meters (theoretical data, in actual operation, the limit distance is only about 1200 meters). In addition, the RS-232-C interface allows only one transceiver to be connected on the bus, that is, a single station capability. The RS-485 interface allows up to 128 transceivers on the bus. That is to say, it has multi-station capability, so that users can easily set up a device network using a single RS-485 interface.
RS485 disadvantages:
RS485 bus is a conventional communication bus. It cannot do automatic arbitration of the bus. That is, data cannot be sent simultaneously to avoid bus contention. Therefore, the communication efficiency of the entire system is necessarily low, and the amount of data redundancy is large. RS485 bus is not suitable for application places with high speed requirements. At the same time, because there is usually only one host on the RS485 bus, this bus method is a typical centralized-decentralized control system. Once the host fails, the communication of the entire system is limited to a paralyzed state. Therefore, it is an important measure to do online backup of the host.

Questions
The working principle of the digital pressure sensor is that the pressure directly acts on the diaphragm of the sensor. The diaphragm generates a micro-displacement that is proportional to the pressure of the medium. The resistance of the sensor changes. This change is detected by electronic circuits. The output is converted to correspond to this Digital standard signal of pressure.

More about Industrial Pressure Sensors
In fact, the pressure sensor can do both digital and analog signal output.
When you order a pressure sensor, you need to confirm with the manufacturer: Do you need a local digital display? What kind of signal output is required, etc. General pressure sensors support 4-20mA, 0-5V, 0-10V and other signal outputs. Or RS485, HART and other protocols.

A pressure sensor is a device or device that can sense a pressure signal. And convert the pressure signal into a usable output electrical signal according to a certain rule.
A pressure sensor usually consists of a pressure-sensitive element and a signal processing unit. According to different test pressure types, pressure sensors can be divided into gauge pressure sensors, differential pressure sensors and absolute pressure sensors.

A gauge pressure (GP) transmitter, compares a process pressure against local ambient air pressure.
Gauge pressure transmitters have ports to sample the ambient air pressure in real-time.
Today’s highly accurate gauge pressure transmitters can be affected by fluctuations in the local ambient pressure.
Measurements above the ambient air pressure are represented, as a positive number, while a negative number represents measurements below ambient.
A gauge pressure measurement is indicated by the letter ‘g’ following the unit of measure of the reading (i.e., inH₂O(g) or psig).
