Classes for the Yosemitech Y560 Ammonium sensor.

Sensor Datasheet

Sensor Constructor

YosemitechY560(byte modbusAddress, Stream* stream, int8_t powerPin, int8_t powerPin2 = -1, int8_t enablePin = -1, uint8_t measurementsToAverage = 1)

Construct a new Yosemitech Y560 object.

Parameters
modbusAddress The modbus address of the sensor.
stream An Arduino data stream for modbus communication. See notes for more information on what streams can be used.
powerPin The pin on the mcu controlling power to the Y560. Use -1 if it is continuously powered.
powerPin2 The pin on the mcu controlling power to the RS485 adapter, if it is different from that used to power the sensor. Use -1 or omit if not applicable.
enablePin The pin on the mcu controlling the direction enable on the RS485 adapter, if necessary; use -1 or omit if not applicable.
measurementsToAverage The number of measurements to take and average before giving a "final" result from the sensor; optional with a default value of 1.


Example Code

The Yosemitech Y560 Ammonium sensor is used in the menu a la carte example.

#include <sensors/YosemitechY560.h>

// NOTE: Extra hardware and software serial ports are created in the "Settings
// for Additional Serial Ports" section

// NOTE: Use -1 for any pins that don't apply or aren't being used.
byte y560ModbusAddress =
    0x60;  // The modbus address of the Y560.
           // NOTE: Hexidecimal 0x60 = 96 decimal used by Yosemitech SmartPC
const int8_t  y560AdapterPower   = sensorPowerPin;  // RS485 adapter power pin
const int8_t  y560SensorPower    = A3;              // Sensor power pin
const int8_t  y560EnablePin      = -1;              // Adapter RE/DE pin
const uint8_t y560NumberReadings = 3;
// The manufacturer recommends averaging 10 readings, but we take 5 to minimize
// power consumption

// Create a Y560 Ammonium Probe object
YosemitechY560 y560(y560ModbusAddress, modbusSerial, y560AdapterPower,
                    y560SensorPower, y560EnablePin, y560NumberReadings);

// Create COD, turbidity, and temperature variable pointers for the Y560
Variable* y560NH4_N =
    new YosemitechY560_NH4_N(&y560, "12345678-abcd-1234-ef00-1234567890ab");
Variable* y560pH =
    new YosemitechY560_pH(&y560, "12345678-abcd-1234-ef00-1234567890ab");
Variable* y560Temp =
    new YosemitechY560_Temp(&y560, "12345678-abcd-1234-ef00-1234567890ab");

Classes

class YosemitechY560
The Sensor sub-class for the Yosemitech Y560-A digital pH sensor.
class YosemitechY560_NH4_N

Defines

#define Y560_NUM_VARIABLES = 3
Sensor::_numReturnedValues; the Y560 can report 3 values.
#define Y560_INC_CALC_VARIABLES = 0
Sensor::_incCalcValues; we don't calculate any additional values.

Sensor Timing

The sensor timing for a Yosemitch Y560

#define Y560_WARM_UP_TIME_MS = 7000
Sensor::_warmUpTime_ms; time before sensor responds after power - <200ms for response, but need 2-10s to load capcitors for brush & measure.
#define Y560_STABILIZATION_TIME_MS = 18000
Sensor::_stabilizationTime_ms; time between "StartMeasurement" command and stable reading 20s in manual but this includes 15s for brushing. Setting to 20s to allow for 5s after brushing completes, based on testing.
#define Y560_MEASUREMENT_TIME_MS = 1500
Sensor::_measurementTime_ms; the Y560 takes 2s to complete a measurement according to manual, but testing shows ~1.5s for a new number.

NH4_N
