2.9 Data logging
Data logging is a functionality introduced in software version 1.3.0. Data logging collects data
automatically into the memory of the transmitter. The data logger records currently only
measurement data. The data is logged every 2 minutes as an arithmetic average of valid
measurement points between the 2-minute interval, for a maximum of 30 days. When the
memory is full the data recording will not stop. Instead, the oldest data is overwritten.
Recorded data does not disappear from the memory when the power is switched off.
Collected data can be exported to CSV file format in the web interface.
To ensure you do not lose any logged data, always export the data before updating transmitter
software. When transmitter software is updated, data is not logged. A factory reset will delete
all previously logged data.
Example of logged data:

The Indigo transmitters provide an Ethernet connection for the Modbus TCP/IP protocol and
web interface.
The transmitter's Ethernet interface can use both static and dynamic network settings. If you
configure the connection to use dynamic settings, the network where the Ethernet interface is
connected must have a DHCP server that provides the settings.
You must use a shielded cable to meet the rated EMC performance of the device.

3.4 Attaching probes
CAUTION! Attach only Vaisala Indigo compatible probes to the transmitter.
CAUTION! The IP classification of probes is valid only when the probes are
attached to the probe connection cable.
If you want to configure the probe settings, such as purge interval, you must do
that before attaching the probe to the transmitter. To configure the probe, you
can use the free Vaisala Insight PC software. For more information, see your
probe's user guide and visit www.vaisala.com/insight.
If your transmitter was delivered with preconfigured analog outputs, make sure
that you connect the probes accordingly. See the label inside the transmitter
enclosure for the correct order of the probes.
38
Chapter 3 – Installation
When the probe connection cables have been wired to the transmitter, you can attach and
detach probes both when the transmitter power is on and when it is off. If the power is on
while you attach or detach a probe, the transmitter shows a notification about the probe. If
you have configured the transmitter to use outputs, the transmitter also notifies you of the
state of the outputs.

3.4.1 Temperature compensation
Temperature compensation is a functionality introduced in software version 1.1.0. The HMP7
probe supports probe heating. Probe heating heats up not only the sensor, but the entire
probe head and filter. When probe temperature is heated above dew point temperature,
condensation on the probe can be avoided while measuring the dew point temperature of the
process. The probe heating functionality in HMP7 can be activated either through
configuration code (set at the factory), or it can be activated using the Insight software and
service cable (Vaisala part number 242659 or USB-2).
Output parameters that are dependent on temperature measurement (such as relative
humidity) are unavailable whenever probe is heated unless the true temperature of the
measured environment is updated to the temperature compensation register of the HMP7
from the TMP1 probe. This happens automatically when both HMP7 and TMP1 are connected to
the transmitter and the temperature compensation function is enabled.
Temperature compensation setting is usable only when HMP7 is connected to probe 1
connection terminal and TMP1 is connected to probe 2 connection terminal. It does not affect
any other probe combinations. When the probes are connected, the temperature
compensation automatically turns on. The temperature output of HMP7 is equal to TMP1
temperature, when heating function is activated. Make sure HMP7 and TMP1 probes are in the
same environment to get the most accurate relative humidity measurement values.
The compensation can be manually turned off.

bottom of the touchscreen to navigate to the Outputs and relays view.
This example shows how to configure a relay to activate when relative humidity
measurement from Probe 1 goes above 90 %RH, and to switch off only when the
measurement falls below 85 %RH (hysteresis). To configure the relay, use the following
values:
• Relay off/on: Set relay off to edit settings.
• Parameter: Relative humidity
• Activation: Active above limit
• Limit: 90
• Hysteresis: 5
• Relay off/on: Set relay on to activate settings.
The physical relay opens and closes the circuit depending both on the relay wiring
and the relay activation mode.
68
Chapter 6 – Configuring transmitter using touchscreen display
6.4.3 Relay hysteresis
If the measurement you are using to control the relay is likely to move back and forth close to
the activation setpoint, you can set a hysteresis that prevents the relay switching on and off
too frequently.
When hysteresis is used, the relay activates at the defined limit, but does not switch off
immediately when the measurement moves back to the other side of the activation limit.
Instead, with hysteresis, the relay remains active until the measurement crosses the relay
activation/deactivation limit and the additional buffer value.

Chapter 8 – Modbus
8. Modbus
8.1 Modbus overview
Indigo500 transmitters support the Modbus TCP/IP communication protocol (over Ethernet).
The transmitter and the connected probes are treated as separate Modbus slaves, each with
their own fixed unit identifier (unit ID) value.
Note the following limitations of the Modbus implementation:
• Use only one Modbus TCP/IP connection at a time. Design the system so that only one
Modbus TCP/IP client accesses the transmitter.
• Modbus TCP/IP can process reliably only one Modbus transaction at a time. Reduce the
polling rate of the client to avoid nested transactions.
The transmitter's Modbus response time is approximately 2000 ms. If the Modbus client gives
a timeout error, increase the request timeout parameter.
The transmitter's Modbus server port is 502.
More information
‣ Enabling Modbus TCP/IP on touchscreen (page 70)
‣ Enabling Modbus TCP/IP in web interface (page 76)
Device Unit ID
The unit IDs of the connected probes identify the probes based on the probe connection
terminal that they are connected to. The probes use these unit IDs (241 and 242) only when
they are connected to the transmitter. When the probes are accessed directly without the
transmitter, the probes have their own Modbus address settings instead of these unit IDs.
If the probe fails to respond to the request, the transmitter responds to the client with the
exception code Gateway Target Device Failed to Respond.

9.1 Cleaning
You can clean the Indigo transmitter body by wiping it with a moist cloth. Standard cleaning
agents can be used.
Chemical tolerance
The following chemicals can be used to clean Indigo:
• H2O2 (6000 ppm), non-condensing
• Alcohol-based cleaning agents such as ethanol and IPA (70 % Isopropyl Alcohol, 30 %
water)
• Ca(Clo)2 (calcium hypochlorite) max. 0.5 %
• QAC (quaternary ammonium cations) max. 0.5 %
9.2 Replacing probes
CAUTION! Attach only Vaisala Indigo compatible probes to the transmitter.
If you want to configure the probe settings, such as purge interval, you must do
that before attaching the probe to the transmitter. To configure the probe, you
can use the free Vaisala Insight PC software. For more information, see your
probe's user guide and visit www.vaisala.com/insight.
You can replace probes both when transmitter power is on and when it is off. There is no need
to disconnect any wires from the transmitter; just detach the probe from the probe cable
connector (5-pin M12).
The measurement parameters and outputs will behave differently depending on whether the
new probe's parameters are the same as the parameters of the old probe:
81
Indigo510, Indigo520 User Guide M212287EN-J
• If you replace a probe with a new one that has the same measurement parameters as the
removed probe, the transmitter will continue to show those measurements once it detects
the new probe. Outputs will give an error notification, which will disappear when the new
probe is detected.
• If you replace a probe with a new one that has different measurement parameters as the
removed probe, you need to reconfigure the measurement parameters and outputs for
the new probe.
