digital communication 3
Multifunction electric power meter provides asynchronous half-duplex mode of RS485 communication
interface , using Rs485 MOD-BUS-RTU protocol, all data are available on Communication transmission
line. In a 485 bus can connect simultaneously up to 32 intelligent energy meter, each intelligent energy
meter can set its communication address (Address NO.). Communication terminal numbers of different
series meters may be different, Communication connection should be used with unshielded twisted-pair
of copper network which diameter is not less than 0.5mm2. When Wiring ,you should use communication
line away from the strong electrical cables or other strong electric field environment, recommend to use
T-type network Connection, do not use star type or other connections.

MODBUS protocol is that a method to connect communications uses the method of principal
and subordinate response on one communication line. First, signal of main computer address
to a terminal unit with the unique address(subordinate computer), then the terminal unit sends
a response signal is transformed to the main computer in the opposite direction, that is: signal
on one independent communication line is transformed all communication data low along two
opposite directions (semi-duplex working mode).
MODBUS protocol only allows the communication between the main (PC, PLC, etc.) and
the terminal unit, do not allow to exchange data between independent terminal unit, so that
all terminal units do not occupy communication line when they are initialized, but only
limited to response to reach inquir y signal of its own compute.r
Host inquiry: Inquiry message frame includes equipment address code, function code, data
information code and check code. The address code indicates the slave equipment needed
to select; function code tells the selected slave equipment to operate what function, for
example, function code 03 or 04 requires slave equipment to read register and return their
contents; data information code includes additional information of function executed by slave
equipment. e.g. in the reading command, the additional inform ation of data segments includes
which register is the first to read and the numbers of the register to be read; the check code is
used to test the correctness of a frame information and provide s a way to check whether the
message contents are correct. It adopts CRC16 calibration rules.
Slave response: If the slave equipment responses normally, the address code, function code,
data code and CRC16 calibration code appear in response message. The data information
code includes the data collected by slave equipment such as regis ter value or state. If there
is any error, we promise no response from slave.
Transport mode refers to a series of independent data structu re and limited regulation used
for transporting data in a data frame, the following defines the compatible transmission mode
with MODBUS protocol- RTU mode. Every byte bit: one start bit, eight data bits, (even -odd
check bit), one stop bit (if even-odd check bit exists) or two stop bits (if no parity check bit).
13
Data frame structure: the message format.
Address code : beginning part of the frame, a byte (8-bit binar y code), with a decimal
system from 0 to 255, but in our system 1 to 247 is used only with , other address remained.
These bits indicate the terminal equipment address designated by the user, the equipment
will receive the host data which has been connected with it. Address of each terminal unit
must be unique, and the terminal only which is addressed will respond to the inquiry to this
address. When the terminal sends back a response, the subordinate address data which is
in response will tell the main machine which terminal is communicating
with it..
Data Code includes the required data for the terminal to carry out the specific functions or
the collected data when the terminal responds to the inquiry. The contents of these data may
be the value, reference address or set value. For example: the function code tells the terminal
to read a register, data field need to indicate that start from which register and read how much
data, while the loop back content of slave data code includes data length and corresponding
data.
Calibration Code The error check field occupies two bytes, which includes a 16-bit binary value.
CRC value will be calculated by the transmission equipment and then added to the data frame,
besides, the receiving equipment will recalculate CRC value when receiving the data and then
compare the value with the received value in CRC field; if the two values are not equal, it shows
that there is error.
The process of forming a CRC:
(1) Preset a 16-bit register as OFFFFH (full 1) and call it as CRC register.
(2) Make the nonequivalence operation between the 8-bit of the first byte in the data frame
with the low byte in CRC register, and store the results into CRC register.
(3) Move CRC register rightward for one bit, and fill in the highest bit with 0, while the lowest bit
shall be moved out and detected.
(4) If the lowest-order bit is 0: repeat the third step (the next displacement); if the lowest-order
bit is 1: make the nonequivalence operation between CRC register and a
preset fixed value (0A001H).
(5) Repeat the third step and the fourth step until there are eight times of displacement, thus it
handles a complete eight-bit.
(6) Repeat the second step and handle the next eight-bit in the fifth step until all the treatments
for bytes are completed.
(7) The CRC value is the final value of CRC register.
function code tells the selected slave equipment to operate what function. Supported

(1) Electrical Character: in the schematic diagram for the circuit of the pulse
collection interface VCC 48V,Iz 50mA.
(2) Pulse Constant: 5000 imp/kWh (all measuring range), The meaning is: when the
.
meter cumulates 1KWh, the number of the output pulse is 5000. It must be
emphasized that 1kWh is the secondary measured data of electric energy. Under
the condition of PT and CT, the 5000 pulse data corresponding to primary
measured electric energy is 1kWh voltage transformation ratio Pt current
transformation ratio CT.
(3) Application example: the pulse counting device is used for PLC terminal.
Suppose during the period with the length of t, the number of collected pulse is
N; the input of meter is: 10kV/100V 400A/5A, thus the electric energy accumulation
Of meter during the time period is: N/5000 100 80 degrees electric energy.

Common problems and Solutions
1 About communication
1) The meter has not sent data back
Reply: Make sure communication setting information of the meter such as subordinate
machine address, baud rate, checking mode and so on correspond with the requirements
of upper motion first; check whether the communication bus on spot is connected correctly
and RS485 converter is in normal operation or not if many meters have not sent data back.
Related communication bus shall also be checked if only signal or a few meters
communicate abnormally. Modify subordinate machine address by exchanging that of
abnormal and normal meter to exclude or confirm whether there is something wrong with
the software of upper motion, or exchange installation site of abnormal & normal meter to
exclude or confirm whether there is something wrong with the meter.
2)The data sent back by the meter is not correct.
Reply: The data of multifunction electric power meter opening to customers are primary
power grids float type and secondary power grids int/long type. Please read the instruction
about data storing address & format in communication address table carefully and make
sure that transformation is carried out according to relative data format. It is suggested to
download MODBUS-RTU protocol testing software MODSCAN which conforms to
standard MODBUS-RTU protocol from the company homepage, and the data of the
software can be display in int/long, float and hexadecimal, which can be compared with
data displayed on meters directly.
2 Measurements about U, I and P are not correct
Reply: First make sure that the meter has been input right voltage and current, multi-meter
is used for measuring voltage and clip-on ammeter for current if necessary. Then ensure
signal line is connected correctly, for example, check whether the corresponding terminal
(i.e. leading-in terminal) and each phase sequence is correct. Observe power interface
display for multifunction electric power meter, its power symbol is displayed positive under
normal condition and negative only when it is under reverse transmission which is caused
by wrong connection of inlet-outlet lines or wrong phase sequence connection.
What is more, electric quantity displayed by the meter is the value of primary power grids;
it may lead to wrong electric quantity display if the ratio of voltage and current transformer
does not conform with that of transformer in-service. The default voltage and current
range is not allowed to modify after delivery. Connection network is available to modify
according to actual connection on spot, but the connection mode set in programming shall
correspond with the actual, otherwise it may lead to wrong display.
3 Power running is not correct.
Reply: Power accumulates on the basis of power measurement; check whether power
value displayed is consistent with actual loading. As multi-function power meter supports
bilateral power measurement, power will be accumulated to reverse active power instead
of forward one if lines are not connected properly or total active power is negative. The
most common problem on spot is inlet and outlet line of current transformer are in reverse
connection. For multi-function power meter, it is available to observe active power in split
phase with symbol, it may be negative because of wrong connection, and what is more,
wrong phase sequence may lead to wrong running.
4 Meter does not work.
Reply: Ensure proper auxiliary supply AC/DC80-270V is linked to the auxiliary supply
terminal, as the meter may be damage by auxiliary supply voltage beyond regulation and
can not recovery. Use multi-meter to measure the voltage of auxiliary supply, and non-
display on the meter if it is all right, it is possible to electrify again; if the meter can not
display normally, please contact with our technical service department.
