The recommended cable is BELDEN 9841 1x2x24AWG shielded twisted-pair or similar.

WIRING DIAGRAMS

EIA-485 wiring is shown in the images below.

Connection steps

1. Guide the EIA-485 cable through the wire-protecting sleeve into the bottom part of the meter.
2. Connect the cable to the EIA-485 terminals on the module (see picture above).

NETWORK TYPOLOGY

• The EIA-485 standard requires that nodes be connected only in a bus topology network. In bus topology, devices can be connected to the EIA-485 transmission line via stubs. Stubs should be as short as possible to limit signal reflections.

• The transmission line must always be terminated at both ends of the bus to avoid reflections that could cause data errors.

• Proper termination requires the matching of the terminating resistors to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. There are two termination types for the EIA-485 channel: standard termination and termination with fail-safe biasing. Standard termination can be used in low-noise domestic environments only. In standard termination, each end of bus should be terminated with 120 Ω resistor.

• Termination with fail-safe biasing is required in industrial environments and it is highly recommended by manufacturers. When network distance is below 100 m fail-safe biasing at one end of the bus is often sufficient. The other end of the of the bus shall be terminated with 120 Ω resistor. For network distances longer than 100 m fail-safe biasing at both ends of the bus is necessary.

• Fail-safe biasing circuit is a resistive voltage divider that consists of a pull-up, terminator, and pull-down resistors. It provides the necessary differential bus voltage V(+)(−), when no device transmits data over the bus. In addition, sufficient noise margin should be added when the device is operated in harsh industrial environments. To ensure sufficient noise margin, the value of the receiver input voltage V(+)(−) must be the sum of the receiver input threshold VIT_max and maximum permissible noise margin VNOISE.

NOTE
Modbus RTU Communication Module ⅛ Unit Load (UL) transceiver is used. Termination with fail-safe biasing reduces the maximum number of busloads due to additional common-mode loading. For a network without fail-safe biasing, the maximum number of ⅛ UL transceivers is 256. For a single fail-safe network, the maximum number of ⅛ UL transceivers is 51.
For more information about EIA-485 network termination please refer to External Fail-Safe Biasing of RS-485 Networks application notes by Renesas Electronics Corporation.

FIRST POWER-UP
The first start-up of the Modbus RTU communication module must be performed before closing the meter housing. Please refer to the following table for the necessary steps:

pressed
3| Read any Modbus register using the Modbus RTU application with default communication parameters.| The status LED flashes during communication, and the response with the appropriate data from the module is received by the Modbus application.

If all three tests are passed, the module is ready for use and the meter housing can be closed. If one of the tests fails, see Troubleshooting chapter 8 for more information.
CLOSING THE METER HOUSING
To close the meter correctly with the module inside, follow the steps below:

1. Check that the module is correctly installed in the expansion slot.
2. Make sure all cables are in the correct position and securely screwed down.
3. If there are several loose cables inside the meter housing, pull them towards the outside of the meter.
4. Place the front panel on the bottom of the meter housing, starting from the left edge of the housing.
5. Close the meter housing using the side latches.

MODBUS RTU INTERFACE
The Modbus is the most widely used network protocol in industrial environments. It is often used to connect a supervisory computer with a remote terminal unit (RTU) in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. Modbus RTU is the most common implementation available for Modbus using the EIA-485 (formerly RS-485) channel.
Modbus RTU is used to establish master-slave communication between electronic devices. That means that it is based upon a request/reply mechanism. Transmission is initialized by a master and it sends the request message which contains the address of the slave (called Slave ID) – the address of the device requested to answer and a function code – a specific request for particular data. The slave in response sends the requested data. Modbus RTU Communication Module is a slave device.
Modbus RTU is used a compact, binary representation of the data for protocol communication. Modbus RTU Communication Module stores the data in object types called registers – Input register and Holding Registers which have 16 bits size. Registers provided by this device can be found in 6.2 Modbus registers.
Modbus RTU Communication Module supports the following functions (function codes):

• Read Holding Registers (0x03)
• Read Input Registers (0x04)
• Write Single Register (0x06)
•  Write Multiple Registers (0x10)

To make communication with the Modbus RTU Communication Module simple, measurement data from the meter are stored by the module in both types of registers – holding registers and input registers. Therefore measurement data can be read by using function code 0x03 or 0x04. To modify module configuration, function codes 0x06 or 0x10 should be used.

NOTE
The Communication Module sends data with the most significant register first and the most significant byte first (“byte swap” or “word swap” are not used to decode data).

The development and update of Modbus protocols has been managed by the Modbus Organization. For more information about Modbus standards please refer to the following documents – Modicon Modbus Protocol Reference Guide and MODBUS over Serial Line – Specification and Implementation Guide.
MODULE ADDRESSING
A single Modbus RTU network on an EIA-485 channel (called a Modbus bus) can contain a single master and up to 247 slaves. The master – usually a PC – has full control of communication and can make read or write requests. The slave device can only respond to requests, and cannot actively poll other devices on the network. Each slave device on the network must have its unique address, the slave ID. The slave ID can be assigned in the range 1 to 247. Address 0 is reserved for broadcast messages. The master node has no specific address assigned.

NOTE
Please take care not to setup two slave devices with the same Slave ID, it will lead to frame collisions on the Modbus bus.

The master uses the slave ID to correctly address a particular device on the Modbus network. Slave ID 0 is used to issue a broadcast command to all devices on the bus. Note that slave nodes do not respond to broadcast messages.

AUTOMATIC SLAVE ID

• Automatic Slave ID functionality is supported by the Modbus RTU Communication Module. This option allows the module to set Modbus Slave ID based on the secondary address set in the connected meter.

NOTE
The secondary address is default set to the meter serial number which is presented on the meter enclosure.

It is possible to read the current setting of the secondary address in the meter by pressing the button located on the meter enclosure in the right sequence. From the main loop of the information window, we must go to the Info loop by pressing the button two times for a long time (more than 3 seconds). Enter to Info loop will be signalized by the number 3 at the bottom line of the display. Next, by pressing the button for a short time (up to 3 seconds), we enter to information screen called shortly SEC_Adr. After waiting 2 seconds, the display will present current value of secondary address. Display state with secondary address is presented below:

• For more information on SHARKY 775 or SCYLAR INT 8 interfaces, please refer to the meter documentation.
• Special care is taken to ensure that only one slave identification number is generated. The algorithm in the figure below shows the details of slave identification when the automatic identification feature is activated.

Automatic addressing table based on meter serial number

NOTE
The automatic slave ID addressing option is enabled by default.

The automatic slave ID addressing function is deactivated or activated via the data in Modbus register 41001 (Modbus address 1000), as described in the table below.

Automatic Slave ID functionality| Register

value (high byte)

| Register value (low byte)| Description
---|---|---|---
Disabled| 0 (0x00 hex)| Address range 1 to 247

(0x01 to 0xF7 in hexadecimal)

| Static Slave ID
Enabled| 1 (0x01 hex)| Address range 1 to 247

(0x01 to 0xF7 in hexadecimal)

| Slave ID will be updated after first readout of heat meter data

MODBUS REGISTERS
The Modbus RTU communication module supports two types of registers

• Holding registers read and write (4####)
• Input registers write only (3####)

Each register has a size of 16 bits (2 bytes) and a unique address. Measurement data from the counter is stored by the module in two types of register – Holding Registers and Input Registers.

NOTE

• There are two conventions for addressing registers in Modbus. Be careful when accessing registers. The addressing method may depend on the application used. Some applications may use only the long format (Modbus Register), while others may use the short format (Modbus Address).
• To obtain the Modbus address, subtract offset 40001 (for holding registers) or 30001 (for input registers) from the Modbus register.
• For example, to obtain the Modbus address for reading the volume value: 40011 (Modbus register) – 40001 (offset for holding registers) = 10 (Modbus address).

CALCULATION EXAMPLE
This example shows how to read and interpret the measurement data in the module’s Modbus registers, based on the energy value. Energy measurement data, read from the meter by the module, are stored in 10 Modbus registers, available from Modbus address 30001 or 40001 (Modbus address 0).
In this example, the module is installed in the meter with the serial number 51241026, and the automatic slave identification feature is activated, so the module’s slave ID is 26 (0x1A).
To request the Modbus module as a master with slave ID 26 (0x1A), you must use the following Modbus request function:

Slave ID| Code| Modbus address of first group register| Modbus register group size| CRC
---|---|---|---|---
0x1A| 0x04| 0x0000| 0x000A| 0x73E6

The module answers

Slave ID| Code| Number of data bytes to track| Raw data read from the| CRC
---|---|---|---|---
0x1A| 0x04| 0x14| 0x0000| 0x3039| 0x0001| 0x4D4A| 0x0000| 0x7246
0x0000| 0x0000| 0x0008| 0x4640| 0xE400

The raw data in hexadecimal (hex) format received from the module are listed in the table below.

• To read the energy value in fixed-point data format, the following calculation must be performed Energy value = Energy register * Unit factor register [Unit name register].
• For example, if the energy register contains the value 12 345 and the unit factor register contains the value 1 MJ, then :
• Energy value = 12,345 * 1 MJ = 12,345 MJ = 12.345 GJ
• The energy value in floating-point data format can be read directly:
• Floating energy value = 12,345 MJ = 12.345 GJ
• The unit name is presented in human-readable ASCII format or can be obtained from the unit ID look-up table. In this example, the unit ID register shows the value 8, which means that the unit of value is MJ (megajoule).

NOTE
Pay attention when using floating-point type values according to IEEE 754. Floating-point values are calculated by the module based on fixed-point values data from the meter. When using floating-point values, precision can be lost and the value presented in the Modbus register may not be equal to value on the meter display. It is recommended to use fixed-point value (Int32 and UInt16) Modbus registers to read always proper data. The floating-point values are introduced in the module just for convenience when additional calculations cannot be done by the Modbus master application.

PERIODIC LOG FUNCTIONALITY 0
The Modbus RTU communication module has the functionality to read the meter’s periodic log 0 data and update the appropriate Modbus registers with the associated energy, volume and dates (Modbus addresses 171 to 192).

NOTE
Periodical Log 0 functionality is disabled in the Modbus RTU Communication Module by default.

To enable or disable the Periodic Log 0 feature, write data to Modbus register 41008 (Modbus address 1007). This feature allows you to read only a single block of data (data block 0) from the periodic log memory into the counter. The permitted values for the Periodic Log 0 enable register are listed in the table below.

Periodical Log 0

functionality

| Enable Periodical Log 0 data register value| Description
---|---|---
Disabled| 0 (0x00 hex)| Periodic Log 0 registers contain invalid values.
Enabled| 1 (0x01 hex)| The Modbus registers at addresses 171 to 192 contain the values read from the counter’s Periodic Log 0 data.

Please note that enabling this option may change default readout from the meter by M-Bus protocol. By default, the module reads data from the meter without defining the response (selecting Application Reset-Subcode) – default telegram is sent to the meter (if not special telegram content is agreed). After enabling Periodical Log 0 functionality the module reads data from the meter with responses from Application Reset-Subcodes: 0x00 (All) and 0x40 (Multi tariff billing).
Disabling Periodical Log 0 functionality results in data readout with Application Reset-Subcode 0x00 (All) without returning to default telegram.
ERROR CODES
In the Modbus RTU Communication Module, error codes are stored in Modbus register 30165 or 40165 (Modbus address 164). This register contains information on the communication status between the module and the meter, and shows errors read directly from the meter.

RESTORE TO DEFAULT SETTINGS
To restore the Modbus RTU Communication Module to default settings, press the module’s pushbutton for at least 15 seconds. Restoration is confirmed by the status LED flashing. All configuration registers are reset to default values.

The restore default settings function is useful when the currently configured communication parameters are unknown.

NOTE
If the Modbus RTU communication module is connected to the meter while the default settings are being restored, its Modbus slave ID will be automatically updated according to the meter’s serial number.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If the Modbus RTU communication module does not seem to be working properly, please refer to the following table.

slave ID, baud rate, number of parity bits and number of stop bits.

If the module’s current communication parameters are unknown, restore the module’s default settings.

 | Incorrect Modbus addressing| Ensure that the slave ID is unique for each device on the network.

Make sure there is only one Modbus master on the network. If the current slave ID of the module is unknown, restore the default settings of the. Check the slave ID number when it is automatically set according to the secondary address/serial number of the counter.
