Product Usage Instructions
RS-485 Communications Configuration:
Physically connect the AKOGas device to a RS-485 communications bus with
other units. Ensure that the configuration of this bus matches the following
table:
| Baud Rate | Data length | Parity bit | Stop Bits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9600**, 19200, 38400, 57600 | 8 bits | No | 1 bit |
Accessing Parameters
To display and edit the operating parameters, follow these steps:
- Locate the desired parameter in the “Parameters” section.
- Refer to the register number, type, access, and description of the parameter.
- If the parameter is marked as “W” (Write), it can be edited.
- If the parameter is marked as “R” (Read), it can only be displayed.
Consulting Unit Status:
To check the status of the unit and its alarms, follow these steps:
- Refer to the register number, type, access, and description in the “Unit Status” section.
- If the register is marked as “W” (Write), it can be queried.
- If the register is marked as “R” (Read), it can only be displayed.

Introduction
This document is aimed at describing to the user the operation of the MODBus RTU communications series protocol implemented by AKO in AKOAlarm. We should take into account that we assume that the user who wants to interact with any of our equipment with communication capacity has some knowledge of the protocol.
IMPORTANT: The functions and parameters described below are available depending to the chosen unit, for more information consult the device’s user manual.
Technical specifications
RS-485 communications
Physically speaking, the AKOGas devices can be connected to a RS-485
communications bus with other units. This is a multipoint connection where the
maximum distance is 1200* m.
The configuration of this bus should be identical to the one presented in the following table:
RS-485 SERIES CONFIGURATION
Baud Rate| 9600**, 19200, 38400, 57600
Data length| 8 bits
Parity bit| No
Stop Bits| 1 bit
Modbus protocol
- The protocol defines a network configuration where a network manager device (master) coexists with one or several slaves, up to a maximum of 32 networked devices (247 in the case of placing repeaters in the RS-485 network).
- Among the two transmission modes defined by the protocol: ASCII and RTU (Remote Terminal Unit), AKO adopts the RTU mode. It must be said that in a network of devices connected via the MODBUS protocol, devices cannot be shared using different transmission modes.
The datagram format in RTU format is:
Start frame| Address| Function| Data| CRC|
End frame
---|---|---|---|---|---
3.5 T| 1 byte (1 to 247)| 1 integer| Max. 126 integers| 1 integer| 3.5 T
Maximum length 255 bytes
- The maximum data unit is the integer (2 bytes) T is the time of transition of one character.
Defined MODBUS functions
AKO solves the management of its devices using several basic functions of the
MODBUS protocol:
| Function | Definition | Description of operation |
|---|---|---|
| 03 | Read holding registers Reading of multiple logs | |
| 06 | Preset single registers | Writing a log |
Definitions
Types of log
N| Numeric value.
Nx10| Numeric value multiplied by 10, it has to be divided by 10 to
represent it correctly.
Nx100| Numeric value multiplied by 100, it has to be divided by 100 to
represent it correctly.
UTF8| 2 bytes utf8 (to represent texts)
BITS| Bit map, each bit represents a value, 0 = not active, 1 = active.
Types of access
R| Read-only. (Parameters to display to the user in the parameter
section)
W| Read and write. (Parameters to display to the user in the parameter
section)
-
- Maximum distance at 9600 baud, the distance is reduced on increasing the baud rate.
- **Default value.
