Series 24-HP Instruction Manual

Discrete Input Definitions

The status of the three alarms may be monitored via the Modbus Read Discrete Input command (function code 02). The value returned indicates the state of the alarm, and will be 1 only if the alarm is enabled and active. A zero value is trans- mitted for alarms that are either disabled or inactive,

The only writeable registers in this implementation are the Reset Exception Status, Reset Meter and Reset Totalizer functions, which are implemented as ”coils” which may be written with the Write Single Coil command (function code 05) to address 8 through 10, respectively, (register #00009 through #00011). The value sent with this command must be either 0x0000 or 0xff00, or the meter will re- spond with an error message; the totalizer will be reset or exception status cleared only with a value of 0xff00.

Error Responses

If an error is detected in the message received by the unit, the function code in the response is the received function code with the most significant bit set,

Description

01

Invalid function code — function code not supported by device

02

Invalid data address — address defined by the start address and number of registers

 

is out of range

03Invalid data value — number of registers = 0 or >125 or incorrect data with the Write Single Coil command

and the data field will contain the exception code byte, as follows:

If the first byte of a message is not equal to the unit’s Modbus ad- dress, if the unit detects a parity error in any character in the re- ceived message (with even or odd parity enabled), or if the mes- sage CRC is incorrect, the unit will not respond.
