3 Principles
3.1 General
1 2 3 MODBUS is a messaging protocol which allows client/server type communications between devices connected to various types of bus or networks. It was originally developed by the company Modicon and, from 1979, became the de facto industrial standard for serial transmission. Nowadays, millions of devices in the automatic control field use it for their communications. The enthusiasm for this simple and elegant structure has enabled it to become established in other fields, and its use is constantly expanding. The Internet community can obtain access to it on port 502 (reserved port) of the TCP/IP stack. This protocol uses a question-and-answer system and offers services specified by function codes.

MODBUS is positioned on level 7 (application layer) of the ISO model. The document entitled "MODBUS over Serial Line" provides a complement by describing, in the specific case of a serial link, levels 1 (physical layer) and 2 (link layer), thus providing a complete description based on the EPA (Enhanced Performance Architecture) 3-layer ISO model which is a simplified version of the 7-layer ISO model.

Modbus Communication
The MODBUS protocol makes it possible to read or write one or more bits, one or more words and the diagnostic counters at a write/read address specified by the master. Upon receiving a request from the master, the device sends the desired information in accordance with the MODBUS specification and is capable of replying with an exception message if it does not recognize the request. MODBUS functions supported: - No. 01: Reading of n output or internal bits; - No. 02: Reading of n input bits; - No. 03: Reading of n output or internal words; - No. 04: Reading of n input words; - No. 05: Writing of 1 bit; - No. 06: Writing of 1 word; - No. 08: Reading of diagnostic counters; - No. 15: Writing of n bits; - No. 16: Writing of n words. Exception codes supported: - 01: Unknown function code; - 02: Incorrect address; - 03: Incorrect data; - 04: Not ready: impossible to handle the request.
Each message or frame exchanged between the master and slave contains 4 types of information: - Slave number (1 byte): it specifies the destination slave (0 to 255). If it is equal to 0, the request concerns all the slaves (broadcast) and there is no response from the slaves. - The function code (1 byte): It makes it possible to select a read or write type command and check whether the response is correct. - The data field (n bytes): it contains parameters relating to the function: bit address, word address, bit value, word value, number of bits, number of words. - The control field (2 bytes): it contains a CRC16 used to detect transmission errors.
Slave number 1 byte Function code 1 byte Data field n bytes Control field 2 bytes
Comment: - The length of a frame can range from 4 to 255 bytes depending on the function code.

Modbus Communication
In general, when it starts up, the Supervisor makes several requests to address a device: - It may perform time setting on one or more devices (broadcasting). - It repatriates events from the T200. - It repatriates states from the T200.
Operation in "No Report By Exception" mode The Supervisor operates by polling, regularly repatriating all the states from the T200s or repatriating only the changes (reading the event stack) and thus updating its database. The Supervisor can send a command to the T200s at any time. In this operating procedure, the SCADA system controls the communication load. Operation is simple, but results in intense use of communication media, because the more quickly one wants to be informed of a change, the more often the T200s must be interrogated. The polling cycle limit corresponds to the shortest cycle for interrogating all the T200s. The great majority of these exchanges are "unproductive", because in most cases the T200 interrogated has nothing to report.
Operation in "Report By Exception" mode Messages are sent only to provide unknown information. For example, when a change occurs, the T200 will call the SCADA system via the "Report By Exception" function. This will make it possible to initiate dialogue and the SCADA system will then retrieve the change. Likewise, the Supervisor will send messages to the T200 when the operator requests order execution. This operating mode does not heavily load the communication facilities (a device speaks only when it has something to say). On the other hand, the SCADA system no longer controls the data flow because it can be called at any time. Collisions between messages can occur when, at a given point in time, several devices take control to speak. We shall see further on how this problem of collisions is dealt with.

3.4 Data
The MODBUS protocol can be used to exchange various types of data. The numerous items of information to which the protocol gives access include: Signals (single or double); Measurements (in several formats); Counters; Commands; Parameters.
3.5 Functions
With the data are associated various functionalities, including, for example: State reading The Supervisor can ask to read the state of all the configured variables. Time setting Can be performed by the Supervisor in two different ways: - Individually: Frame sent to a single device with confirmation from the latter. - Universally: Frame broadcast to all the devices without response from them. Event reading (time-tagged changes of state). Since the MODBUS protocol proposes no standard for time tagging of events, a process has been established allowing exchange of events between a master and a slave. The slave provides the master with an event reading table the address of which is configurable. Alarm transmission: A change of state can be configured as an alarm to be sent spontaneously to the telecontrol centre. Specific counter functions. The counters can be reset. Command sending: Two modes are available: Direct Execution and Select before Execute. Parameter writing. Certain parameters can be changed.
Comment: Time-tagged event management concerns signals only. Counter and measurement type events are not managed.

Protocol characteristics: As we can see above, a service called Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is implemented. TCP is one of the core protocols used for internet and other similar networks. In our case, TCP is used because it provides reliable and order delivery of messages for point to point communication.
Background TCP: For a TCP connection to take place one side must be the server and one side must be the client. Client-Server architecture is therefore provided. The side of the link that initiates the connection is the client and the side of the link that waits for a connection request is the server. The client requests a connection by specifying the IP address and port number of the server. Once the connection is made, data is transferred without either side having to specify the IP address and port number. The T200 is usually associated to the server and can hold four different TCP connections with a SCADA. Each connection with a client is managed by a disconnection delay if no data is exchanged.
Default port used for MODBUS IP: The T200 support TCP communications on port number 502. All connection requests and all data are sent to this port number. It can be changed for particular reasons.

Frames structure: The addressing system and the functions used are the same. The frames have the same structure, except the "slave number" byte which is replaced by an "MBAP header" with the following structure:
Transaction Id
(2 bytes)
Protocol Id
(2 bytes)
Length
(2 bytes)
Unit Id
(1 byte)
- Transaction Identifier (2 bytes): Used to associate transactions (questions and responses). The Modbus server copies the question "transaction identifier" to the response. - Protocol Identifier (2 bytes): Used for intra-system multiplexing. The Modbus protocol is identified by the value 0. - Length (2 bytes): number of bytes following this field, including the "Unit Identifier" and the data. - Unit Identifier (1 byte): This field is used for intra-system routing (see the Gateway function). The default value is 0xFF.
NT00188-EN-04
Modbus Communication
Standard MODBUS parameters: In "standard" communication, the Supervisor can obtain access to a data field called the MODBUS Table. It is thus possible to come and read and write data on the "external address" of a variable. However, it is not possible to export events, since the "standard" MODBUS protocol offers no way of sending time-tagged data. In such a case, therefore, simply fill in the "Device Address" field on the configuration page: Device address: Corresponds to the T200 address.

NT00188-EN-04
Modbus Communication
There are two possible modes of execution of writing commands: - "Direct" mode: Commands are implemented by direct writing to the memory addresses defined for each command (external address). The command is executed upon receiving the command. - "Select before Execute" mode: Writing commands are executed in two transactions for secure writing, the command being finally executed upon receipt of an "Execute" command. Command type: Choice of mode. Selection timeout: Maximum waiting time for execution after selection. Selection word address: This field specifies the command execution address. 2/ "Event management" function: Since the MODBUS protocol proposes no standard for time tagging of events, a process has been established allowing exchange of events in MODBUS mode between a master and a slave (cf. 4.3). The time tagging function allows a precise date and time to be attributed to changes of state, so as to be able to classify them precisely in time. These events are accessible from a table whose address and size must be entered. Event table address: Indicates the event table start address. Number of events to be read: Indicates the length of the event table Event loss TSS index: The event table having a defined capacity, a "loss of information" event can be inserted by the T200 when reading the event table. The "Loss of event TSS index" allows the address of this event to be defined. In the event of loss of events, the old events are kept. 3/ "Server Gateway" function: The Server Gateway function allows the device to be used as a gateway to a MODBUS slave to which it is connected. If this function is enabled, and if the device receives a Modbus frame that is not intended for it (MODBUS address different from the device address), the device transfers the frame from its remote communication port (port 1 or port 2) to its local port and then sends the response received to the port of origination of the request. 4/ "Remote measurement reading mode" function: Each analogue value (measurement) is a signed integer encoded on 16 bits by two's-complement system. The measurements can be sent with scaling. Two modes are proposed: - "Raw" (or "Normalized") mode: the measure is scaled and converted depending to the Min and Max values defined for the measure. - "Direct" (or "Adjusted" or "Scaled") mode: the variable is sent as it is measured (except if the measure exceeds the Max value defined for the measure). Note: for details of mode used, see chapter "8.1 - MODBUS table", paragraph "Telemetry and counters zones". Comment: This function can be used only by the protocol by changing the value of bit 0 in the Status register. Bit 0 = 0, Raw mode. Bit 0 = 1, Direct mode. 5/ "Exception if undeclared element" function: Case of the "Exception if undeclared element" parameter set to "No": If the Supervisor interrogates a memory address (external address) in which no element is declared, the device will associate the integer 0 with the undeclared bit or word and return this integer (instead of returning a frame indicating an incorrect address).

The TCD function allows certain advanced settings to be made for sending telecontrols: Double command by writing 1 bit enabled: Enables telecontrols with writing of a single bit. CR code address: telecontrol fault indication address. => The CR code gives information on the processing of the remote control order carried out by the T200: Bit 0: Remote control in progress. Bit 1: Fault concerning the initial remote control order Bit 2: Serious fault detected during internal check. Bit 3: External fault; the switch has not reached the desired status within the time allotted. Bit 4: Remote control not executed due to Station in Local mode or other disabling condition Bit 5: Failure to execute for an unknown reason. Each change of state of one of this bit will produce a MODBUS event that could be seen on the event log. The telecontrol center system may reset these codes by writing a 0 to the relevant address.
7/ 32 bits mode: Measures of F200C and T200 are coded in 16 bits. Nevertheless, energy counters can be coded in 32 bits. So, counters will be sent to the SCADA with using 2 frames of 16 bits. In case of 32 bits mode, this parameter determines the order of transmission: MSB / LSB (H/L) or LSB/MSB (L/H).
MODBUS TCP Server parameters: We saw on chapter 3.6 that MODBUS protocol can also be used over Ethernet. Consequently, there are some new parameters related to the TCP/IP layer that must be set. Beforehand, the MODBUS IP protocol must be activated. (Operating mode menu)
Server port: Server TCP port number (Listen). Typical Application: It is used when the T200 is waiting for a connection request. Timeout: link fault detection delay. It is used to end a session with a client if no data is exchanged.

When the Report By Exception operating mode is selected (and saved), an additional window opens in the Protocol Parameters screen. This window is related to the problem of collisions that can occur when the T200 calls to send an exception. It depends on the transmission medium used. For point-to-point systems (telephone, GSM), the window is that which conventionally appears when using these types of medium, i.e. the window for configuration of the port used for transmission (it is therefore described in the T200 User Manual in the chapter corresponding to these media). In this case, no configuration appears in the "Protocol" parameters setup window. However, for multipoint systems (radio, radio type leased line, etc.), the following window appears in the "Protocol" parameters setup window:
Collision avoidance: Collisions may occur: - between frames sent by the SCADA and frames sent by a remote terminal unit; - between frames sent by various remote terminal units. To avoid collisions insofar as possible, one must know the network occupancy state. The more reliable this information, the more efficient the system. The system can be forced to send only if the network is free. However, this has its limits, since two devices may see the network free and start sending simultaneously. Even apart from this case, there is always a time lag for detection of network occupancy. Let us consider a device going into sending mode. Throughout the time needed for detection of this state, another device will consider the network as free and will therefore be enabled to send. To overcome this, collision avoidance can be used. Depending on the transmission medium, there will be several possible options: - Non-activated or Standard; - Non-activated, Standard (squelch used for busy state), Standard (CD used for busy state). The first group of options is proposed when the transmission medium can provide the occupancy state via the CD signal. This is the case when the sent frames are delimited by a signal (generally RTS), said signal being linked to the CD or causing its activation (case in which the RTS signal causes rising of a carrier detected on CD by the other device). The second group of options is proposed when using a radio medium. There are generally 2 signals: the CD (Carrier Detect) signal and the Squelch signal. When the squelch signal is available, it should be preferred to the CD signal. This is because carrier detection can be caused by noise on the line, whereas the squelch is generally more "secure" and gives more reliable information. In the second option, when collision avoidance is activated, an additional window appears in the Protocol Parameters screen.
Before describing the various parameters used, we shall explain how collision avoidance operates. We shall consider two types of frame: - acknowledgement frames; - other frames. When a T200 receives a frame from the Supervisor and this must be acknowledged by it, the acknowledgement frame is sent immediately.
NT00188-EN-04 13
Modbus Communication
For the other frames, the T200 will allow for a waiting time before sending: This time is calculated by the following formula: time = (priority x min. random time) + random time The random time ranges between the min. random time and the max. random time. Priority This parameter can be used to hierarchize various T200s. The smaller the number, the more priority is assigned to the T200 (it will wait for a shorter time). Usually, this priority is left at 0. Min. random timeout Max. random timeout The random timeout, added to the wait related to the priority, is in a range between the minimum and maximum values defined here. There are no typical values for these parameters. Setting should be performed taking into account the following comments: - The timeouts are to be set according to the sending time for a frame. - The smaller the minimum timeout, the smaller the added timeout can be. - The greater the difference between the minimum timeout and the maximum timeout, the smaller the risk of sending by two T200s at the same time. - The preceding condition is achieved by increasing the maximum timeout. But one should allow for the fact that the greater this timeout, the longer the T200 risks waiting before sending. Generally, therefore, one opts for a value that will not be too high. The ideal solution, therefore, is to choose parameters in accordance with the above rules, and then refine them in the field.
The other parameters concern the signal used to obtain the network occupancy state. Active squelch level Depending on the equipment, the squelch active state will be a low level or a high level. One should therefore choose, here, the appropriate level. Squelch protection The squelch is an occupancy signal provided by analogue type radio equipment. With this transmission medium, the transmission conditions vary with time. For example, transmission conditions differ depending on whether or not there are leaves on the trees. Therefore, reception levels generally vary throughout the year. Accordingly, the squelch is related to the value to which its detection level has been set. This setting is normally performed in the field and in periods when reception is least satisfactory. However, despite all the precautions taken, squelch detection may become active permanently or over long periods of time. This means that, in this case, the T200 is therefore no longer enabled to send. To avoid this, squelch protection can be activated. When it is activated, this protection system will ensure that, when the squelch is active at the time when the T200 wants to send and when it remains active permanently during the time defined below, sending by the T200 will be enabled after this time (this operation is known as squelch setting). Tsqu (squelch protection) When squelch protection is activated, it will ensure that, when the squelch is active at the time when the T200 wants to send and remains active permanently during the time defined below, sending by the T200 will be enabled after this time (this operation is known as squelch setting). This time is the time referred to above. The customary value is approximately 10 s.

In order to limit the quantity of data transferred via the IP link (to limit GPRS costs for example), the Report by Exception process is adapted to Modbus TCP. In this case, the connection is still open by the supervisor, but once it is open, the supervisor has not to pull the slave too frequently: alarmed changes of state will be signalled by an Exception. The exception frame sent is: 00 00 00 00 00 04 FF 00 00 00 - Transaction ID =0 - Function code =0 This Exception can be repeated with a configurable delay if the alarm is not acknowledged. A thirty second delay has been introduced between two exceptions to prevent network overload. This procedure can be activated from the "Operating mode" menu.

"Event management": Event processing requires that the master have access to the T200 event table in write and read mode. An example of an exchange will be described in detail in section 5.1. Event reading: The slave provides the master with an event table. The master reads the event table and acknowledges by writing an exchange word. The slave updates the event table. Exchange word: The exchange word can be used to manage a specific protocol to be sure not to lose events following a communication problem. For this purpose, the event table is numbered. The exchange word comprises 2 fields: - Most significant byte = exchange number (8 bits): 0..255 The exchange number contains a numbering byte which can identify exchanges. The exchange number is initialized to zero following a power up. When it reaches its maximum value (0xFF), it automatically returns to 0. The exchange numbering is established by the slave and acknowledged by the master. - Least significant byte = number of events (8 bits): 0..X. The slave indicates the number of significant events in the event table in the least significant byte of the exchange word. This number is limited to the size of the window (e.g. 4 events), even if the number of events available internally is larger. Each word of the non-significant events is initialized to zero. Acknowledgement of the event table: To notify the slave of satisfactory reception of the block it has just read, the master must write, in the "Exchange number" field, the number of the last exchange performed by it, and must reset the "Number of events" field of the exchange word. Following this acknowledgement, the events in the event table are initialized to zero, and the old acknowledged events are erased in the slave. So long as the exchange word written by the master is not equal to "X,0" (where X = number of the preceding exchange that the Supervisor wants to acknowledge), the exchange word in the table remains at "X, number of preceding events". The slave increments the exchange number only if new events are present (X+1, number of new events). If the event table is empty, the slave performs no processing upon reading by the Supervisor of the event table or the exchange word. Loss of information: The slave has an internal storage queue of a defined capacity, which may reach saturation. In the event of saturation of this queue, a "loss of information" event can be inserted by the slave when reading each event table. The address of this event is configurable. (cf. Event loss TSS index). So long as this event is present in the stack, no other event can be saved, so as to save and not erase the oldest events in the case of a queue overflow. This event disappears automatically when the Supervisor retrieves all the events and the queue becomes empty.

"Select then execute" function This function allows a selection message to be sent before a command message: In this mode, In this mode, sending the command takes place in two phases: - Writing of "Select" message : writing of word address for the control order to be executed. - Writing of "Execute" message : confirmation of the control order. The command is executed by the device only after receiving the 2 messages. The "Execute" message must be received at least n seconds (configurable timeout) after the "Select" message. In the event of a fault an exception message is returned to the master. (Exception code 3).

NT00188-EN-04
Modbus Communication
Time synchronization The device can be synchronized by reception of a time message frame over the communications network. A general broadcast can be performed with the slave number 0. The time message frame is used both for time setting and for slave synchronization. For each new time frame received, the slave's internal clock is reset immediately as of the end of frame reception. The precision depends on the master, and its control of the time for transmission of the time frame over the communications network. The time for transmission of the frame over the network largely depends on the type of medium used. When slave synchronization is to be performed, the time setting frame should be sent regularly at closely spaced intervals (between 10 and 60 seconds) to obtain a synchronous time.

This chapter provides information which may be necessary when operating problems are encountered. It may help with problem resolution in such cases.
Observation: The Supervisor writes the date in IEC format (time tag on 4 words) at address 0x02. The T200 replies with the updated time.
Example 1b: After starting, the Supervisor sends a time setting frame to all the devices (in broadcast mode).
Observation: 1/ - The T200 receives the time setting frame. - The T200 returns no response. 2/ - The T200 receives a read request from the master, and one observes that the time has changed.

After setting the time on the T200, the Supervisor interrogates the device to find out whether events have been recorded and have not yet been read. - Device address: 1 - The event field is set to address 0xF with a maximum of 4 events.
Observations: 1/ Exchange word reading: The Supervisor reads the exchange word to find out whether events have occurred. The T200 replies by specifying that 3 events are available. 2/ Event field reading: The Supervisor reads the events present in the stack, and the T200 sends them to it. 3/ Event acknowledgement: The Supervisor acknowledges its request. It writes the exchange word, resetting the number of events to 0. 4/ New reading cycle: The Supervisor reads the exchange word again to find out whether events are available. The T200 replies by specifying that no event is available. The exchange number has changed (1 -> 2). Analysis of the 3 events read: - Event 1: 08 00 03 96 00 00 00 00 00 08 08 0B 11 0A 15 80 Single address signal 918 (word 57, bit 6), value = 0, on 11/08/2008 at 17:10:05 - Event 2: 08 00 03 96 00 00 00 01 00 08 08 0B 11 0A 1C 4C Single address signal 918 (word 57, bit 6), value = 1, on 11/08/2008 at 17:10:07 - Event 3: 08 00 03 96 00 00 00 00 00 08 08 0B 11 0A 26 CA Single address signal 918 (word 57, bit 6), value = 0, on 11/08/2008 at 17:10:09 Comment: In our case, the single address signal 918 corresponds to the device's Local/Remote selector switch.

After reading the device's event table, the Supervisor performs one or more read operation(s) to find out the current states of the device's variables (signals, measurements, etc.).
Observations: In our example, for sake of simplicity, the Supervisor simply requests the signal state. It can be observed that the address signal 918 (0x396, word 57 bit 6) is in 0x0 state. This is consistent with the reading for the preceding events in which the last event showed a transition to state 0 (Remote) of the Local/Remote selector switch.
Example 2: The Supervisor sends a telecontrol to the device in "Select and Execute" mode. The T200 must be in remote mode. (In direct mode, simply write at the address defined for the command). Protocol configuration: - "Select and Execute" mode, Timeout 20s, selection word address = 0x100. - Write command at 1 on TCD of external address 12.0. (Word 0xC0, bit 0)
Observations: 1/ Select: The Supervisor writes the execution address in the selection word. 2/ Execute: The device receives the execution request, the command can be tripped. If the device is in "No Report By Exception" mode, the Supervisor suspends polling to send the command. Once the command is ended and in reply to the next Supervisor polling, the T200 can return a change of state (event) on the signal associated with this telecontrol. If the device is in "Report By Exception" mode and once the telecontrol is ended, the T200 may take the initiative of indicating to the Supervisor a change of state (event) of the signal associated with this telecontrol.

6 Glossary
B Binary Input Single and double signals are treated as objects of the binary input type. Broadcast The Supervisor can send a message to all the remote terminal units. This is called broadcasting. The destination address in that case equals 0x00. In this case, the destination units will not reply to the received frame. D Device address MODBUS address of the T200 by which the Supervisor can obtain access to the device. Direct execution In this command execution mode, the command, when it is authorized, is executed upon receiving this message. The wanted selection relay is actuated, and, after verification, it is the execution relay's turn. During all the command sequences, checks are performed. Any detected anomaly causes immediate stoppage of the command. Direct operate See Direct Execution. E Event acknowledgement Process by which the master can notify the device that the events have been read. Resets the number of events contained in the T200's stack. The old events acknowledged are erased from the slave. Event stack See time tagged events. Exchange word This can be used to manage a specific MODBUS protocol for the T220 to be sure not to lose events following a communication problem. It contains two essential items of information, the exchange number and the number of events present in the stack. F Function code Byte contained in each frame sent by the master and by which the slave can know the nature of the request (read, write, etc.). Upon an error, the slave replies by setting the most significant bit of the function code to 1. M Master Refers, in a MODBUS communication system, to the device that enters into dialogue with one or more slaves. Measurement Refers to an analogue input coded on 16 bits which can adopt several formats. P Polling This term designates a method for repatriation of information from the T200. The Supervisor interrogates each T200 in succession so that it may return its information. R Reading The Supervisor works by Reading or Writing data to or from the remote terminal units.

Report By Exception Can be used to manage a specific MODBUS protocol or the T200 which is the slave can take the initiative of dialogue to send an alarm. Mode often used in place of Supervisor polling to avoid overloading the communication media. S Select then Execute (Select then Operate) In this command execution mode, the command, when it is authorized, is executed in two stages. The T200 first receives a selection message. It then receives an execution message. It then checks that the same device is involved. If this check is satisfactory, it executes the command sequence. Throughout the command's duration, checks are performed. Any detected anomaly causes immediate stoppage of the command. Moreover, if, after receiving the selection message, an excessive time elapses without the T200 receiving the execution message, the command is cancelled. This time is configured in the Selection Timeout section. Slave Refers, in a MODBUS communication system, to the device that merely replies to the requests of a master. Squelch Occupancy signal provided by analogue type radio equipment. T TCD Tlcommande (telecontrol) (coded on 2 bits) Time synchronization field Contains the internal date and time of the device for time tagging of events. The field can only be read or written to as a whole. Time tagged events: Can be used to manage a specific MODBUS protocol or a date can be associated with the change of state of a signal. These events are stored within the T200 in an event stack that can be accessed in read/write mode by the Supervisor. TM Tlmesure (remote measurement) (coded on 16 bits) TSD Tlsignalisation double (double telesignal) (coded on 2 bits) TSS Tlsignalisation simple (single telesignal) (coded on 1 bit) TCP Network Protocol used by the T200 to manage MODBUS communications over an IP Link. It is implemented in the Transport layer of the OSI Model.
W Writing The Supervisor works by Writing or Reading data to or from the remote terminal units.

Reminder: External address syntax The external address makes the variable accessible in read or write mode from the Supervisor via the MODBUS protocol. The MODBUS addresses of the digital variables are parameterized as follows: "Word, bit". Calculation of a decimal address from a word bit: Decimal address = word address x 16 + bit address Example: Word 15, bit 10 15 x 16 + 10 = 250 Calculation of a word bit from a decimal address: Word address = decimal address modulo 16 (integer value) Bit address = decimal part * 16 Example: address 255 255 / 16 = 15.9375 (Word = 15) 0.9375 * 16 = 15 (Bit = 15)

Bit 15 = 0: No loss of events Bit 15 = 1: Loss of events This bit is enabled when the event stack is full. The "event loss" event is then placed in the stack. So long as this event is present in the stack, no other event is placed there. This bit is erased when the stack becomes empty. The disappearance of this bit generates no event.

Modbus communication
Each TM value is a signed value encoded in 2's complement 16-bit word. Depending on the calibration mode configured (in the identification zone), the value should be interpreted as follows:
Following rules are applied to "Direct" mode: - Any invalid value (the value cant be read properly by the equipment) will be transmitted with the value 0x8000, and the invalid quality bit set - Any 16bits measurement will be transferred without conversion - The 32 bits measurements will be converted depending on their Max value parameter.
o If the Max Value has not been set (= 0, default value), the biggest value (=0x7FFFFFFF) is used instead o If the measurement is bigger than the Max Value, it will be transferred as 0x7FFF with the overflow quality bit set o If the measurement is lower than the (-Max Value), it will be transferred as 0x8000 with the overflow quality bit set o The measurement will be divided by ten as many times as the Max value must be divided by ten to fit into the -32768 to 32767 interval. The transmitted value is rounded. Examples: scaled value transmitted, depending on the internal value and the max value: For 16 bits types (TM16) : Internal value 0 Max value (parameter) 0 0 4000 0 400000 0 For 32 bits types (TM32) : Internal value 0 Max value (parameter) 0 0 4000 0 400000 0

Modbus Communication
Following rules are applied to "Raw" mode: - Any invalid value (the value cant be read properly by the equipment) will be transmitted with the value 0x8000, and the invalid quality bit set - The 16 bits and 32 bits measurements will be converted depending on their Min value and Max value parameters.
o If the Max value = Min value (= 0, default value), the biggest interval is used instead (-32768 to 32767 for 16 bits, -2147483648 to -2147483647 for 32 bits. o If the measurement is bigger than the Max Value, it will be transferred as 0x7FFF with the Overflow quality bit set o If the measurement is lower the Min Value, it will be transferred as 0x8000 with the overflow quality bit set o The measurement will be converted using a bijection from the min-max interval to the -32768 to 32767 interval, or 0 to 32767 (depending on the min and max) The applied formulas are: - If Min >=0 and Max > 0: Transmitted value = (Internal value Min)*32767 / (Max Min). - If Min < 0 and Max <= 0: Transmitted value = (Internal value Max)*32768 / (Max Min). - If Min < 0 and Max > 0: Transmitted value = (Internal value Min)*65535 / (Max Min) 32768. The transmitted value is rounded. Examples: normalized value transmitted, depending on the internal value and the min and max values : Internal value Min/Max Value (parameters) 0 / 0 (TM16) 0 / 0 (TM32) 0 / 4000 0 / 400000 -4000 / 4000 -4000 / 400000 -400000 / 400000 -32768 / 32767 0 0 0 0 0 0 -32119 0 0 10000 10000 0 0x7FFF 819 0x7FFF -30496 818 10000 357 357 0 2924 29 2924 -32061 28 357 80000 0 0x7FFF 6553 0x7FFF -19141 6553 0x7FFF 552000 7 0x7FFF 0x7FFF 0x7FFF 0x7FFF 0x7FFF 0x7FFF -700 -700 0 0x8000 0x8000 -5734 -32232 -57 -700 -5000 -5000 0 0x8000 0x8000 0x8000 0x8000 -410 -5000 -75000 -1 0x8000 0x8000 0x8000 0x8000 -6144 0x8000 Invalid 0x8000 0x8000 0x8000 0x8000 0x8000 0x8000 0x8000 0x8000
Scaling example: for a full scale at 400 amperes (= Max value), an internal TM value of 8192 (0x2000) corresponds to: 8192 * 400 / 32767 + 0 = 100 A (with Max = 400 and Min = 0)

Modbus communication
Each message or frame contains 4 types of information: slave number (1 byte): it specifies the receiving equipment (0 to FFh). If it is equal to zero, the request concerns all the slaves (broadcast) and there is no reply message. function code (1 byte): it is used to select a command (read, write...) and check that the reply is correct. data zone (n bytes): it contains the parameters linked to the function. check zone (2 bytes): it is used to detect transmission errors. Please note that when 32 bits are used (for counters), words (2 bytes = 16 bits) can be transmitted as : MSB / LSB (H/L) or LSB/MSB weight (L/H).
