1.0 ABSTRACT

Physical level

The physical communication line complies with the EIA-RS485 standard in half-duplex modality.
In this case, as only two wires are used, only one instrument at a time can engage the line; this means that there
must be a master which polls the slave instruments so the demand and the request are alternated.

On the same physical line only 32 instruments can be attached (master included). In order to increase the
number of the slave instrument, the necessary repeaters must be used.

The communication parameters are :

Baud rate : programmable (device dependant)

bit n. :8
stop bit :1
parity : programmable (device dependant)

Data link level

The data are transmitted in a packet form (message) and are checked by a word (CRC).
See the description of the data packet in the next paragraphs for more details.

Application level

The communication protocol used is MODBUS / JBUS compatible.

Up to 255 different instruments can be managed by the protocol.
There are no limitations to the number of possible retries done by the master.
A delay between the response from the slave and the next command could be necessary and it is specified for
each device (timing).

2.0 DATA MESSAGE DESCRIPTION

The generic data message is composed as following :

Device address Functional code Data CRC word

Two answers are possible :

Answer containing data

Device address Functional code Data CRC word

Error answer

Device address Functional code Error code CRC word

+ 0x80

2.1 Parameters description

Device address : device identification number in the network.

It must be the same for the demand and the answer.
Format : 1 BYTE from 0 to 0xff
0 is for broadcast messages with no answer

Functional code : command code

Used functional code :
Format : 1 BYTE
0x03 : reading of consecutive words
0x10 : writing of consecutive words

Data : they can be

- the address of the required words (in the demand)
- the data (in the answer)

CRC word : it is the result of the calculation done on all the bytes in the message
 COMMUNICATION MODBUS PROTOCOL Pag. 4/21

2.2 Data format

The following types of format are used for the data values :

* U_WORD : one WORD - unsigned

* S_WORD : one WORD - signed
* UD_WORD : two WORDS - unsigned
* SD_WORD : two WORDS - signed

If the required data is in a DWORD format, 2 WORDS are transmitted and the MSW comes before the LSW
(depending on the setting in the NEMO 96 : big endian / little endian / swap WORDS

MSB LSB MSB LSB

Most Significant WORD Least Significant WORD

Example : 1000 = 0x 03 e8 or
0x 00 00 03 e8 (if UDWORD)

MSB LSB MSB LSB

0x00 0x00 0x03 0xe8

2.3 Description of CRC calculation

The following is an example of the CRC calculation in C language.

unsigned int calc_crc (char *ptbuf, unsigned int num)

/* ****************************************************************
* Descrizione : calculates a data buffer CRC WORD
* Input : ptbuf = pointer to the first byte of the buffer
* num = number of bytes
* Output : //
* Return :
** ***************************************************************/
{
unsigned int crc16;
unsigned int temp;
unsigned char c, flag;

crc16 = 0xffff; /* init the CRC WORD */

for (num; num>0; num--) {
temp = (unsigned int) *ptbuf; /* temp has the first byte */
temp &= 0x00ff; /* mask the MSB */
crc16 = crc16 ^ temp; /* crc16 XOR with temp */
for (c=0; c<8; c++) {
flag = crc16 & 0x01; /* LSBit di crc16 is mantained */
crc16 = crc16 >> 1; /* Lsbit di crc16 is lost */
if (flag != 0)
crc16 = crc16 ^ 0x0a001; /* crc16 XOR with 0x0a001 */
}
ptbuf++; /* pointer to the next byte */
}

crc16 = (crc16 >> 8) | (crc16 << 8); /* LSB is exchanged with MSB */

return (crc16);

} /* calc_crc */

2.4 Error management

If the received message is incorrect (CRC16 is wrong) the polled slave doesn’t answer.
If the message is correct but there are errors (wrong functional code or data) it can’t be accepted, so
the slave answers with an error message.

The error codes are defined in the following part of the document.

MESSAGE

MASTER

BYTE 1 BYTE 2
BYTE n RESPONSE
T1
MESSAGE

SLAVE

BYTE 1 BYTE 2 BYTE n

T2 T3

Be careful : among the setup parameters there is a timeout value that may be programmed.
This is the inter-characters timeout and implicitly is the timeout to detect the end of a message.
The value of 20 msec is suggested to keep compatibility with older IME devices.
The minimum value is 3 msec.

TIME DESCRIPTION Min & Max VALUES

Time between characters.
Min = 3 msec
T1 If this time exceeds the programmed timeout, the
Max <= 99 msec
message is considered closed by the device
Slave response time
T2 Minimum and maximum response time of device to the Max = 20 ms.
Master request after a message has been detected valid
T3 Time before a new message request from the Master Min = 1 msec

Procedure to write

Every write operation must be preceded by a “Master Unlock Key” command.

Address 0x2700 : write word with value = 0x5AA5 (Master Unlock Key)

Reset of NEMO parameters

Any writing operation of any parameter will have effect only in the volatile memory (RAM).
After any writing operation of parameters described in the following of the document, if necessary to go back to the default
it is mandatory to send the following commands :

Address 0x2700 : write WORD with value = 0x 5AA5 ( Master Unlock Key )
Address 0x2800 : write WORD with value = 0x YYYY ( any value )

This command will reset the NEMO and in this way all changes will be lost so returning to the previous conditions.

EEPROM savings

If it is necessary to save the new parameters in EEPROM it is mandatory to send these following messages :

Address 0x2700 : write WORD with value = 0x 5AA5 ( Master Unlock Key )
Address 0x2600 : write WORD with value = 0x YYYY ( any value )
 COMMUNICATION MODBUS PROTOCOL Pag. 21/21

Write address table

Address Format Description Value

0x100 U_WORD Current transformer ratio 1 - 9999
0x102 U_WORD Voltage transformer ratio 1/10
(e.g. 4.3
Reading 43)

0x2000 16 U_WORD Standard setup parameters (16)

0x2200 24 U_WORD Programming parameters of pulse and/or alarm output (16)
0x2400 U_WORD Reset Hour Meter, Maximum Powers, Maximum Voltages, (12)
Maximum Currents, Minimum Voltages, Active Partial

0x2600 U_WORD Saving in EEPROM parameters changed by Remote commands (13)
0x2700 U_WORD Enable Remote Writing Operation (14)
0x2800 U_WORD Load previous setup parameters stored in EEPROM (15)

(12) To reset desired measurements write the following word (in binary) :

0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|b8|b7|b6|b5|b4|b3|b2|b1|b0

b0 = 1 => Reset Hour Meter

b1 = 1 => Reset Peak Maximum Demand
b2 = 1 => Reset Maximum Voltage values
b3 = 1 => Reset Maximum Current values
b4 = 1 => Reset Minimum Voltage values
b5 = 1 => Reset Active Partial Energy
b6 = 1 => Reset Reactive Partial Energy
b7 = 1 => Reset Counter Input 1 ( Sw > 1.02 )
b8 = 1 => Reset Counter Input 2 ( Sw > 1.02 )

b9 .. b15 = 0

(13) Write any value to save the new parameters changed by Remote commands

(14) To do any remote programming write operation, it’s mandatory to write a safety
key = 0x5AA5.

(15) Write any value to abort any remote programming write operation and reload
the previous values.

(16) The parameters are read and written with the same sequence.
