1.1 Introduction
The RS485 serial interface supports the MODBUS/JBUS (RTU) protocol. In this document only the
information necessary to read/write from/to EM/ET300 SERIES has been reported (not all the parts of
the protocol have been implemented).
For a complete description of the MODBUS protocol please refer to the latest revision of the
“Modbus_Application_Protocol” document that is downloadable from the www.modbus.org web site.
1.2 MODBUS functions
These functions are available on EM/ET300 SERIES:

 Reading of n “Holding Registers” (code 03h)
 Reading of n “Input Register” (code 04h)
 Writing of one “Holding Registers” (code 06h)
 Diagnostic (code 08h with sub-function code 00h)
 Broadcast mode (writing instruction on address 00h)
IMPORTANT:
1) In this document the “Modbus address” field is indicated in two modes:
1.1) “Modicom address”: it is the “6-digit Modicom” representation with Modbus function code 04
(Read Input Registers). It is possible to read the same values with function code 03 (Read
Holding Registers) replacing the first digit (“3”) with the number “4”.
1.2) “Physical address”: it is the “word address” value to be included in the communication
frame.
2) The functions 03h and 04h have exactly the same effect and can be used indifferently.
3) The communication parameters are to be set according to the configuration of the instrument
(refer to EM/ET300 SERIES instruction manual)
1.2.1 Function 03h (Read Holding Registers)

This function is used to read the contents of a contiguous block of holding registers (word). The Request
frame specifies the starting register address and the number of registers to be read. It is possible to
read maximum 50 registers (words) with a single request, when not differently specified.
The register data in the response message are packed as two bytes per register (word), with the binary
contents right justified within each byte. For each register, the first byte contains the high order bits
(MSB) and the second contains the low order bits (LSB).

Exception code 1 byte 01h, 02h, 03h, 04h (see note) 02h: illegal data address
CRC 2 bytes 03h: illegal data value
04h: slave device failure
1.2.2 Function 04h (Read Input Registers)

This function code is used to read the contents of a contiguous block of input registers (word). The
Request frame specifies the starting register address and the number of registers to be read. It is
possible to read maximum 50 register (word) with a single request, when not differently specified.
The register data in the response message are packed as two bytes per register (word), with the binary
contents right justified within each byte. For each register, the first byte contains the high order bits
(MSB) and the second contains the low order bits (LSB).
Request frame
Quantity of registers (N word) 2 bytes 1 to 14h (1 to 20) Byte order: MSB, LSB
CRC 2 bytes

Quantity of requested bytes 1 byte N word * 2
Register value N*2 bytes Byte order: MSB, LSB
CRC 2 bytes

Exception code 1 byte 01h, 02h, 03h, 04h 02h: illegal data address
1.2.3 Function 06h (Write Single Holding Register)

This function code is used to write a single holding register. The Request frame specifies the address of
the register (word) to be written and its content.
The correct response is an echo of the request, returned after the register content has been written.
Request frame
Register value 2 bytes 0000h to FFFFh Byte order: MSB, LSB
CRC 2 bytes

Register value 2 bytes 0000h to FFFFh Byte order: MSB, LSB

1.2.4 Function 08h (Diagnostic with sub-function code 00h)

MODBUS function 08h provides a series of tests to check the communication system between a client
(Master) device and a server (Slave), or to check various internal error conditions in a server.
EM/ET300 Series supports only 0000h sub-function code (Return Query Data). With this sub-function
the data passed in the request data field is to be returned (looped back) in the response. The entire
response message should be identical to the request.
Request frame
Sub-function 2 bytes 0000h
Data (N word) N *2 bytes Data Byte order: MSB, LSB
CRC 2 bytes

Physical address 1 byte 1 to F7 (1 to 247)
Sub-function 2 bytes 0000h
Data (N word) N *2 bytes Data Byte order: MSB, LSB
CRC 2 bytes

1.2.5 Broadcast mode
In broadcast mode the master can send a request (command) to all the slaves. No response is returned
to broadcast requests sent by the master. It is possible to send the broadcast message only with
function code 06h using address 00h.

1.3 Application notes
1.3.1 RS485 general considerations
1. To avoid errors due to the signal reflections or line coupling, it is necessary to terminate the bus at
the beginning (master side, if not already embedded, by inserting a 120 ohm 1/2W 5% resistor
between line B and A) and at the end (in EM/ET SERIES interface by connecting the terminal A-
with the terminal T in the last instrument.
2. The network termination is necessary even in case of point-to-point connection and/or of short
distances.
3. For connections longer than 1000m or if in the network there are more than 160 instruments (with
1/5 unit load as used in EM/ET300 SERIES interface), a signal repeater is necessary.
4. For bus connection it is suggested to use an AWG24 balanced pair cable and to add a third wire for
GND connection. If a shielded cable is used, connect the shield to GND.
5. The GND should be connected to ground only at the host side.
6. If an instrument does not answer within the “max answering time”, it is necessary to repeat the
query. If the instrument does not answer after 2 or 3 consecutive queries, it is to be considered as
not connected, faulty or reached with a wrong address. The same consideration is valid in case of
CRC errors or incomplete response frames.
1.3.2 MODBUS timing
Fig. 1 : 2-wire timing diagram
Timing characteristics of reading function: ms

T response: Max answering time 500 ms
T response: Typical answering time 40 ms
T delay: Minimum time before a new query 3,5 char
T null: Max interruption time during the request frame 2,5 char

2 TABLES
2.1 Data format representation In Carlo Gavazzi instruments
The variables are represented by integers or floating numbers, with 2’s complement notation in case of
“signed” format, using the following:
Format IEC data type Description Bits Range

INT16 INT Integer 16 -32768 .. 32767
UINT16 UINT Unsigned integer 16 0 .. 65535
INT32 DINT Double integer 32 -231 .. 231
UINT32 UDINT Unsigned double integer 32 0 .. 232-1
UINT64 ULINT Unsigned long integer 64 0 .. 264-1
IEEE754 SP Single-precision floating-point 32 -(1+[1 –2-23])x2127 .. 2128
For all the formats the byte order (inside the single word) is MSB->LSB. In INT32, UINT32 and UINT64
formats, the word order is LSW-> MSW.
2.2 Geometric representation
According to the signs of the power factor, the active power P and the reactive power Q, it is possible to
obtain a geometric representation of the power vector, as indicated in the drawing below, according to
EN 60253-23:
a = Exported active power

b = Imported active power
c = Imported reactive power
d = Exported reactive power
Fig. 2 : Geometric Representation
According to the measurement mode (easy connection or bidirectional), the following sign convention is
used in EM/ET300 SERIES.
- Easy connection mode

o I always >0
o P always >0
o kWh always increasing (correspondent to Annex D option PFA)
o kvarh increases only when Q>0
o PF only with C and L (without sign) indication
- Bidirectional mode)
o I < or >0 (with indication of “-“ sign)
o P < or >0 (with indication of “-“ sign)
o kWh+ increasing only when P > 0 (correspondent to Annex D option PFB)
o kWh- increasing only when P < 0
o kvarh+ increasing only when Q > 0
o kvarh- increasing only when Q < 0
o PF with ±C or ±L indication

maximum value the display shows “EEE”.

Note: The product (CT ratio)x(VT ratio) shall be automatically limited to prevent overflow of kW
indication on the meter (max power = 9999 kW).
The overflow indication “EEE“ is displayed when the MSB value of the relevant variable is 7FFFFFFFh
(word order FFFF 7FFF).

3 REVISIONS
 From rev. 2.7 to 2.8:
- assigned a memory address to Neutral current
- changed the name to some variables to have the same indication as in VMU-C and programming
software
 From rev. 2.8 to 2.9:

- added THD, run hour meter and An in EM330
 From rev. 2.9 to 2.10:

- added EM331 ID code
 From rev. 2.10 to 2.11:

- modification of “1.3 Application notes. RS485 general considerations” (point 1)
- introduction of electrical limits in “3.1 Maximum and minimum electrical values in EM/ET300
SERIES”
 From rev. 2.11 to 2.12:

- correction of Table 2.7.9 (serial number)
- hidden THD measurement indications (not available)
- stated the limits for the maximum (CT ratio)x(VT ratio)
- correction of Modicom references in Table 2.7.6
