ff The interface works only if the Phase 1 is connected.

ff The communication is ready 30 s after the Power On.
ff Refresh Time for the data is 10 s. Therefore the delay between reads of the same data should be at least 10 s.
ff The use of Energy meters in Bus with intensive communication can increase the data refresh time.
ff 247 devices can be connected to the Modbus. Over 128 devices, a repeater should be used.
ff The interface don’t have a terminal resistor, this should be provided external.
ff For a description of the used registers please look at the Register Page.

Data transmission
ff Only «Read Holding Registers [03]/ Write Multiple Registers [16]» instructions are recognized.
ff Up to 20 Registers can be read at a time.
ff The device supports broadcast messages.
ff In accordance with the Modbus protocol, a register R is numbered as R - 1 when transmitted.
ff The device has a voltage monitoring system. In case of voltage loss, registers are stored in EEPROM (transmission rate, etc.)

Exception Responses
ff ILLEGAL FUNCTION [01]: The function code is not supported.
ff ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS [02]: The address of some requested registers is out of range
or more than 20 registers have been requested.
ff ILLEGAL DATA VALUE [03]: The value in the data field is invalid for the referenced register.

Change the Modbus address direct on device

ff To modify the Modbus address, press 3 s on  touch
ff In menu,  increase address by 10,  increase by 1
ff Once the address is selected wait for the root menu to come back

Registers
For double registers (4–5, 16–17, 28–29, 30–31, 32–33, 34-35) the high register is sent first (big_Endian).
Partial counters (30–31, 34–35) can be reset by writing 0 in both registers in the same message.
