UNIT INSTALLATION

PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS

In order to use the unit safely, it is critical that the individuals who handle it follow the safety measures set out in the standards of the country where it is being used, use the necessary personal protective equipment and pay attention to the various warnings indicated in this instruction manual.

The CEM M-ETH unit must be installed by authorised and qualified staff.
The power supply plug must be disconnected before handling, altering the connections or replacing the unit. It is dangerous to handle the unit while it is powered.
Also, it is critical to keep the cables in perfect condition in order to avoid accidents, personal injury and damage to installations.
The manufacturer of the unit is not responsible for any damage resulting from failure by the user or installer to observe the warnings and/or recommendations set out in this manual, nor for damage resulting from the use of non-original products or accessories or those made by other manufacturers.
If an anomaly or malfunction is detected in the unit, do not use the unit to take any measurements.
Inspect the work area before taking any measurements. Do not take measurements in dangerous ar-eas or where there is a risk of explosion.

Disconnect the unit from the power supply (unit and measuring system power supply) before maintaining, repairing or handling the unit’s connections.
Please contact the after-sales service if you suspect that there is an operational fault in the unit.

INSTALLATION

On the side of the unit are all of the indications adjusted to the CEI 62052-11 standard. The unit is installed on a DIN rail. Before connecting the unit, you must couple it to a CEM energy meter as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

Terminals, opening covers or removing elements can expose parts that are hazardous to the touch while the unit is powered. Do not use the unit until it is fully installed.
The unit must be connected to a power circuit that is protected with gL fuses (IEC 269) or M fuses, with a rating of 0.5 to 2 A. It must be fitted with a circuit breaker switch or equivalent device for disconnect-ing the unit from the power supply mains.
The RCCB or equivalent device must be in the immediate vicinity of the unit and must be easily acces-sible.
The power circuit is connected with a cable with a section measuring up to 2.5 mm2.

The unit’s operating temperature is between -25ºC and +70ºC; always use connection cables that can withstand these temperatures.

3: Ethernet.

CONNECTION DIAGRAM

The connection between the CEM M-ETH and the Ethernet network must be made with a twisted pair cable (100Base-TX: 100Mbit/s on two pairs of wires of Category 5 or higher). The segment length of the 100Base-T, 10BaseT and 1000Base-T cables is limited to 100 m.

OPERATION

The CEM M-ETH is designed to be used as a Ethernet port for any device in the CEM family, using the mechanical coupling next to the optical port.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The CEM M-ETH is an optional accessory for electrical energy meters from the CEM range that are mounted on DIN rails.
The CEM M-ETH provides CEM units with Ethernet communications with the MODBUS/TCP protocol.
Once the unit is coupled to the CEM energy meter (See “3.2.- INSTALLATION”) the LINK LED turns green to let the user know that the link has been made correctly.
From this point onward, the new CEM energy meter + CEM M-ETH assembly functions as a single device.

• POWER LED: Indicates that the unit is connected to a power supply.
• LINK LED: Indicates the status of the link with the CEM unit. (Table 3)

OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS PORT

The unit has an optical serial communications port on its right side, in accordance with the UNE EN 62056-21:2003 standard, in order to communicate with other devices in the CEM family.

RS-485 COMMUNICATIONS

The MODBUS/TPC protocol is the MODBUS RTU protocol with a TCP interface that runs on Ethernet.
MODBUS/TCP uses TCP/IP and Ethernet to manage the data of MODBUS messages between compatible devices.
The MODBUS/TCP protocol embeds a standard MODBUS data frame in a TCP frame without the Modbus checksum, as shown in the diagram in the figure.

Table 5 shows the format of the MODBUS/TCP frame.

Protocol identifier| 2| Value 0 for MODBUS/TCP
Field length| 2| Number of bytes remaining in the frame
Unit identifier| 1| Peripheral number
Function code| 1| Modbus function number
Data bytes| n| Response or command data

The MODBUS functions implemented in the unit are:

Functions 03 and 04. Reading of logs. Function 10. Writing of multiple logs.
