DIGITAL PANEL METER
N32PSERVICE MANUAL

Application

The N32P meter is a digital panel meter adapted to be fixed to the panel. The N32P meters are designed to measure voltage, current, power and energy in AC circuits. Voltage and current measurement can be dome directly or using an external current and voltage transformers. The parameters of the transformers used can be configured in the N32P meter, so the indicated measuring values will correspond to the actual measuring values on the primary of the transformers. The N32P meters also enable to measure only a single parameter, e.g. only current, where the meter operation is synchronized with the current signal waveform.
Additionally, the meter supports the programmable alarms with the delay activation and deactivation function as well as a memory of the alarm event. The functionality of the meter is complemented by a programmable analog output – RS-485 interface.
The user interface consists four buttons and the high contrast LCD display with backlight. Thanks to the two-line display, it is possible to set the selected unit, display simultaneously the measuring value and the current time, as well as a clear and user friendly menu with simultaneously visible the parameter name and its value.

5.3.1 How to change quantity of a selected parameter
To increase the value of the selected parameter, press the button . Pressing the button will increases the currently set digit by 1 and after reaching the value 9, pressing the button will set the value 0. After setting the required value of a digit, move to the next digit by pressing the button . After setting the required parameter value, press the confirm button to accept the entered value or the cancel button to cancel the parameter change and return to the previous value of the parameter. It is possible to change a sign of the entered value during setting the last digit (most significant).
There are three steps to change the floating point values. The first step is to set the digits and a sign in accordance with the algorithm described above. The second step is set the position of the decimal point after pressing the confirm button. The buttons are used to set the position of the decimal point. After setting the decimal point position as required, press the confirm button to move to the third step – setting the multiplier of kilo, mega or no multiplier. Symbol of the multiplier value is shown on the left side of the display.
Entering an incorrect value of a given parameter causes that the new value is not accepted and the parameter will automatically have the previous value. To change the parameters other than numerical select the appropriate setting from the parameter list using the buttons . After selecting the appropriate setting, press the confirm button to download the setting or the cancel button to return to the previous value and exit the parameter change mode.

5.4 Meter functions
5.4.1 Measurement
The N32P meters continuously measure RMS voltage, current and power. They calculate energy, power factor and power tangent based on the measured values. Both, the power factor value and the power tangent are calculated based on the power triangle. Additionally, the voltage frequency is measured during the measurements which is determined by the zero crossing detector. The detector input can be connected to the input voltage or the current loop via SYNCH setting, and the measurements with a current synchronization should only be selected if the meter is used only for current measurement.
Sampling is 8,000 measurements per second. The measuring periods (input signal period) are synchronized with the signal from the internal zero crossing detector. A single measurement is made for the number of periods corresponding to a time of 100 ms. Realtime measurement may slightly differ from the assumed 100 ms due to the measuring signal frequency value. A single measurement time would correspond to 5 periods of the measuring signal at 50 Hz. The user can define the duration of the measurement time by providing the number of single measurements. By default, the measurement time is defined as 10 basic measurements, i.e. one second. When changing the measurement time, it needs to be considered that the shorter the measurement time, the greater the influence of noise on the measuring value, and therefore the lower the stability of indications.
The measuring values are continuously analyzed during averaging, and additionally, the minimum and maximum measuring values are determined during the averaging period, as well as the total minimum and maximum measuring values, which are saved in the nonvolatile memory of the meter.
All measuring parameters are available via the RS-485 interface, including the basic measuring values e.g. voltage on the shunt.
The main displayed value can be limited by the user by specifying the minimum and maximum displayed value. Exceeding set lower threshold of the measurement (the measuring value lower than the set limit value) causes to display information about exceeding the lower limit, and exceeding set upper threshold of the measuring range (measuring value greater than the set limit value) causes to display information about exceeding the upper limit.
All the values of measuring quantities are available through the RS-485 interface and at the parameter preview level. Entry a measuring value preview mode can be done by pressing for at least 3 seconds the cancel button . The currently displayed value can be changed by pressing the confirm button . When previewing the measuring values, its value is displayed in the upper line and the lower line alternately displays the parameter name and its unit. Additionally, it is possible in the value preview mode to check the minimum and maximum values of a given quantity, and to delete them (see section 5.4.1.2). The meter will return to the normal operation if no button is pressed for 30 seconds (the main displayed value defined in the configuration will be displayed).
5.4.1.1 Averaging the measuring quantities
The measuring values are averaged in two stage process. The first stage of averaging – the arithmetic mean is calculated from the indicated number of measurements defined by SAVGt parameter. The parameter also determines the time of a single measurement – one measurement takes 100 ms of time, then for the SAVG parameter set to 10, the time of a single measurement will be one second. There is a single measurement that represents the current measuring value after the first stage of averaging.
Additionally, the average value is calculated for each of the measuring parameters, and the averaging period is defined by the user by defining AVGPE parameter in minutes. The average value can additionally be synchronized with the internal time clock. The method of calculating the average value is defined by the user – AVGtY parameter, which can be selected from the standard averaging method, where the new average value is calculated after the averaging time has finished, or the moving window method, where the average value is calculated continuously from a selected period of time, e.g. for the setting of 15 minutes, the average value represents the average value over the last 15 minutes and is continuously updated. In the given example, if the synchronization is enabled, the average value is calculated from every quarter of an hour, i.e. the minutes of the clock 0, 15, 30, 45 indicate a new averaging period.
The buffers for average value calculation have a length of 600 single measurements, and each of the averaged values has a separate data buffer, therefore the average value calculated by the moving window method can be updated less frequently than it would result from the time of a single measurement. For example, for the averaging period of 60 minutes and a single measurement time of 1 second, the average value will be updated every 6 seconds because in this case the buffer length would have to be 3600 measurements. For the buffer with a length of 600 measurements, each element in this case contains a value of averaging six single measurements.
5.4.1.2 Minimum and maximum measuring values
The N32 meter continuously measures the signal on the measuring inputs and calculates the derived parameters, e.g. power factor. The measuring values are constantly monitored, if the measuring range is not exceeded during the measurement. If any of the values is smaller than the current minimal value of a given parameter, then the new minimal value is saved. When the measuring (displayed) value is higher than the current maximum value of a given parameter, then the new maximum value is saved. The minimum and maximum values are available via the interface and from the panel of the meter. Press the button  to display the minimum value of the main displayed value. Press the button  to display the maximum value. Value minimum / maximum is displayed for 2 seconds, then the meter automatically returns to displaying the measuring value.
Reset of the minimum / maximum value can be done via the interface or directly using the meter keypad. Press a combination of buttons to reset the minimum value, and press a combination of buttons to reset the maximum value. Each reset of the minimum or maximum value using the buttons is confirmed by a message – an example the message is shown below.

To display the minimum and maximum value of the parameters which are not displayed continuously on the display is possible from the measuring value preview menu – to access the menu press and hold the cancel button for at least 3 seconds. Changing the currently indicated quantity after entering the preview menu can be done by pressing the confirm button . The minimum and maximum value for a given parameter can be displayed or deleted in the same way as the main displayed value, but to avoid accidentally exit the menu, it is recommended to press one of the buttons first , and then the button .
5.4.2 Analog output
The N32P meters can have one analog output (depends on the ordering code) connected to the meter terminals as a voltage output (0…10 V output) and as a current output (0…20 mA or 4…20 mA). The analog output is galvanically separated from the other meter circuits. Selection of the output type to be used can be done during the output configuration. It is not possible to use the voltage and current output at the same time because it is physically one output with two signals connected to the terminals. It is very important when using an output to choose the type of it that is actually being used. Otherwise, the output value will not match the expected output signal.
The following parameters should be defined during the output configuration:

• – type of output signal that will be used. Additionally, the manual operation modes are available (separate for the voltage output and for the current output), where AnMAN setting defines the exact expected value on the analog output.
• – setting which defines the quantity that will control the analog output signal.
• – lower value of the control signal in accordance with InPV parameter, which the minimum signal value on the analog output corresponds to.
• – upper value of the control signal in accordance with InPV parameter, which the maximum (rated) signal value on the analog output corresponds to.
• – the parameter has two applications. First, it is the value of the signal (voltage or current) during a manual control of the output. Second, to use a set value when the signal controlling the output has an incorrect value, e.g. exceeded measuring range. In such case the signal on the output will be set according to this setting.

Thus, configuration of the output requires to specify five parameters. An example of an output configuration is shown below.
Let’s assume that the input signal is power and the measuring range will be 500 W and for such range the output should change between 4 … 20 mA. The settings for such case should be as follows:

• AtYPE = 4 20MA.
• InPV = P.
• AnLo = 0.
• AnHi = 500.
• AnMAN = 22. The value on the analog output will be 22 mA in case of a measurement error.

5.4.3 Alarm outputs
The N32P meters are equipped with one alarm output as standard. They can have 4 alarm outputs as an option, including three outputs with a switching contact. The alarm output element are electro-magnetic relays. If the meter is physically equipped with one alarm, 4 alarms are still available in the meter menu. In this case, the alarms 2 to 4 can have a indication functions by controlling the alarm indicator on the screen and via the RS-485 interface (alarm states in the meter registers).
Each alarm output is independently configurable and can be configured to work in one of six modes. It is possible to select the value controlling the alarm (see Fig. 9), define the state change thresholds and define the delays of alarm activation and deactivation. Fig. 11 shows how the alarms work in n-on, n-off, off and on modes. Additional manual working modes H-on and H-oFF enable to permanently activate or deactivate the alarms. An additional REG operation mode has also been added to the alarm type settings. In this mode, the alarm state is controlled via the RS-485 interface by MODBUS protocol registers.

Designations used in the drawing:

• AL_L – corresponds to PrL setting and determines the alarm state change lower threshold.
• AL_H – corresponds to PrH setting and determines the alarm state change upper threshold.

Note: It is important to keep in mind when configuring the alarms that the entered threshold values should match the dependency AL_L < AL_P. Otherwise the dependency will disable the alarms.
Additionally, the alarm functions include the programmable delays of alarm activation and deactivation. The user can define how long the alarm event must last before the alarm relay contacts are switched on and the minimum time of the alarm event end before the relay contacts are switched off. Alarm delays prevent false alarms caused by a short-term change of the measuring value, e.g. during the start-up.
The alarm event could be registered if the alarm memory is enabled.
5.4.4 Binary output
The N32P meters can have a galvanically separated optional binary output, which is designed to generate pulses corresponding to the counting of a given portion of energy by the energy counter. Pulse weight (the amount of counted energy per one pulse and a control counter) is user-defined. This output can be used to transfer information to subsequent counters or PLC controllers, etc.
The binary output has an NPN transistor as the output, its collector and emitter are connected to the output terminals what enables to work with the inputs of the meters supporting the NPN and PNP sensors.
Duration of each generated pulse is 30 ms followed by a pause of also 30 ms. It is important to pay attention to pulse duration during a configuration of the binary output (pulse weight) because too many generated pulses may overflow the internal pulse counter, and consequently, the number of generated pulses will be lower than expected.
The examples of connecting a binary output to a counter in input configuration for NPN (b) as well as PNP (a) sensors are shown below.

The figure above shows the examples of connecting the binary output of the N32P meter to a PLC controller. The diagram in Fig. a shows the controller input to work with PNP sensors, while Fig. b shows a diagram for the controllers to work with NPN sensors.
5.5 RS-485 interface
The N32P meters are equipped as a standard with one RS-485 port connected to the terminals of the lower connector. The interface is galvanically separated from the other circuits of the meter.
The implemented data exchange protocol is compatible with MODBUS RTU standard and allows to save and read all configuration parameters as well as read all measurement data with data including alarm status, current time, date or other parameters related to the meter status. The transducer works in the network as a slave device.
Standard RS-485 allows a direct connection up to 32 devices on a single serial link. The maximum permissible cable length depends on a baud rate, and it is 1200 m for the baud rate 9600 b/s. It is necessary to use additional intermediate-separation circuits e.g. PD51 by LUMEL S.A. to connect more devices or to use a longer connections.
5.5.1 Connection
The terminals A, B and GNDI terminals which location is shown in Fig. 5 allow to connect the RS-485 interface to the N32P meter. It is required to connect the lines A and B in parallel with their equivalents in other devices to obtain the correct transmission.
The connection should be made using twisted pair screened cable in such a way that the A and B lines should be one pair and are connected with their equivalents of other devices in the network. The cable shield should be connected to the protective terminal in close proximity to the N32P meter. The cable shield of the interface cable should be connected to the protective terminal only in one point.
The GNDI line, which is the reference potential for the RS-485 interface, is used for additional protection of the interface line at long connections. Then all GNDI lines of all devices using the same bus should be connected together.
A star connection should be avoided when connecting the devices. The connection should have a bus layout which ends are connected to the termination resistors.
Method of connecting the devices is shown in Fig. 12.

5.5.2 Description of the MODBUS protocol implementation.
The implemented protocol is compliant with the PI-MBUS-300 Rev G specification of Modicon.
It is important to keep in mind when configuring the parameters that the devices using the same bus must meet the following requirements:

• Have a unique address, different from the addresses of other devices connected to the network.
• The same baud rate.
• The same type of transmission mode (single data frame format).

The N32P meters enable programming the following parameters of the RS-485 link:

• Meter address: 1…247.
• Baud rate: 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 38400, 57600, 115200 [b/s].
• Operation mode: RTU frame format 8n1, 8n2, 8o1, 8e1.
• Maximum response time: 50 ms.

5.5.3 Implemented functions of MODBUS protocol
The following functions of the MODBUS protocol have been implemented in the N32H meters:

• 03 (03h) – readout of registers group.
• 04 (04h) – readout of input registers group.
• 06 (06h) – single register writing.
• 16 (10h) – registers group writing.
• 17 (11h) – slave device identification.

5.5.4 Map of the registers
The register map of the N32P meter is divided into separate groups of 16-bit or 32-bit registers. Data stored in 32-bit registers are additionally available in the format of 16-bit registers, with the value of one 32-bit register is stored in two 16-bit registers.
The 32-bit registers store data in the float format compliant with IEEE-754. Bytes sequence: B3 B2 B1 B0 – the oldest byte is transmitted as the first. The 16-bit registers representing 32-bit values in two successive registers have been doubled in another address space with a byte sequence: B1 B0 B3 B2.
The table below shows the register map of the N32P meter. The addresses in the table are the physical addresses. The register number should be increased by 1 when using the programs where the addresses are provided in a logical format.

Error codes

The N32P meters have several diagnostic functions and settings built-in that allow to limit the displaying. So the display may show and the status registers may store information about the diagnosed error, event or fault. Possible messages and their potential causes are listed below.

– the measurement result does not fit on the display. Lower the display resolution or
select the mode of automatic position of the decimal point.
| Lost calibration. Please contact the technical support.
| Lost real time clock settings. The message is displayed only when turning the meter on. Time and date must be set. If the message still appears when turning
the meter on after setting the time and date, please contact the Service Department because a backup battery may require to be replaced. This message can be ignored if the clock settings are not significant in a given application.
| Measurement module error. It is not possible to make a measurement, please contact the technical support.
| Configuration data memory and calibration memory error. It is not possible to use a meter, please contact the technical support.
| No communication with the analog output module. Please contact the Service Department.
