Principle of Wireless Device Installation

The Acti9 PowerTag Link is installed in such a manner that the Wireless communication devices are
distributed around the gateway. It is recommended to install the Acti9 PowerTag Link in the center of the
switchboard. The distance between the wireless communication devices and the gateway should be
smaller than 3 meters.
NOTE: There is a possibility of disruption in the RF signal quality if wireless communication devices are
installed in a different switchboard (particularly if the enclosure has metallic partitions and door).

Maximum Number of Wireless Communication Devices in an Electrical Room

The wireless network configuration is used for special applications like data centers and high density
metering applications. In standard building applications, use the default settings.
For high density applications, thousands of wireless communication devices are placed in the same
environment. Therefore, it is necessary to consider radio frequency plan and bandwidth. For an installation
with multiple gateways, it is recommended to assign a dedicated and different channel to each gateway.
To increase the radio quality, you can adjust the communication period from 5 seconds (default) to 60
seconds.
For any installation with more than 400 wireless devices, please consult us for a detailed study of the RF
plan.
Any modification to the communication period has to be done after the commissioning of the wireless
communication devices is completed to avoid slowdown of the commissioning process.
NOTE: Modification in communication period does not slowdown the alarms. The voltage loss is sent
immediately. The communication period is used to send regular metering data (P, U, I, E, PF), and alarms
are sent immediately.
NOTE:
 The radio channel is chosen in the wireless settings of Acti9 PowerTag Link via the web pages and is

Basic Commissioning of Wireless Devices

Principle of Wireless Device Commissioning

The principle of wireless device commissioning consists of two steps:
 Pairing the wireless devices withe the concentrator
 Configuring the wireless devices

Commissioning the Wireless Communication Devices

The configuration of the wireless communication devices is done with Acti9 PowerTag Link web page.

Step Action
1 Launch the Acti9 PowerTag Link web page in the web browser.
2 Login with user name and password.
3 Click Settings → Devices → Wireless Devices.
4 Pairing process principle: When the scanning process is running, the gateway discovers the wireless devices located in the
environment, in the order of their appearance in the RF network. The gateway assigns a virtual Modbus address respecting the
order of appearance. If you define and upload a white list, the gateway will only pair the wireless devices belonging to the
defined white list.
Pairing process options are:
a Free Pairing
Recommended when:
 no particular Modbus address plan is required.
 pairing a reduced number of wireless devices (up to 20).

Initial state: All devices are powered ON. Click Start Scanning.

Stop scanning when all devices are discovered, or click Start scanning again to complete the scanning process.
Result: A list of paired devices are displayed.

40 DOCA0157EN-01 07/2019
 Getting Started with Web Pages

Step Action
b Controlled Pairing
Recommended when:
 a Modbus address plan shall be followed.
 pairing a large number of wireless devices (more than 20.)

Applicable when:
 the wireless devices can be individually powered.
 the wireless devices are installed downstream the related circuit breaker.

Initial state:
 All PowerTag are powered OFF

Click Start Scanning.

Power on the wireless devices, one by one, respecting the required order.

Stop scanning when all the devices are discovered, or click Start Scanning again to complete the scanning process.
A list of paired devices are displayed, according to the required order (Modbus address plan). Note: Modbus address
can be changed after pairing process is done.
NOTE: Modbus address can be changed after completing the of pairing process.
5 Select the wireless device to configure and click Locate to find the device in the panel.
Result: The associated device blinks in the panel.
6 If one of the located wireless device is not part of your selection, click Delete to reject the device.

DOCA0157EN-01 07/2019 41
Getting Started with Web Pages

Step Action
7 Configure the associated device as below:

NOTE: If you have multiple panels and if each panel has PowerTag energy sensors, then it is
recommended to switch on power and commission each Acti9 PowerTag Link one by one if possible. This
helps to discover only the required wireless communication devices specific to each Acti9 PowerTag Link
and avoids discovering the long list of devices.
If other Acti9 PowerTag Link devices are powered on while you commission a new Acti9 PowerTag Link,
the new Acti9 PowerTag Link automatically selects the less polluted radio channel, and creates its network
on a different channel than the previous Acti9 PowerTag Link devices. This avoids having all the PowerTag
energy sensors on the same radio channel.

42 DOCA0157EN-01 07/2019
 Getting Started with Web Pages

However, if all panels are powered on and commissioned simultaneously, then locate only the required
PowerTag energy sensors in multiple panels and reject the ones you do not want to configure with the
panel currently commissioned. All the rejected PowerTag energy sensors can be auto-discovered again
from another Acti9 PowerTag Link without any issues.

Wireless Network Configuration with Web Pages

Overview
The wireless network configuration is used for special applications like data centers and high density
metering applications. In standard building applications, use the default settings.
For high density applications, thousands of wireless communication devices are placed in the same
environment. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the radio frequency plan and bandwidth. For an
installation with multiple gateways, it is recommended to assign a dedicated and different channel to each
gateway. To increase the radio quality, you can adjust the communication period from 5 seconds (default)
to 60 seconds. For any installation with more than 400 wireless devices, please consult us for a detailed
study of the radio frequency plan.
Any modification to the communication period has to be done after the commissioning of the wireless
communication devices is completed to avoid slowdown of the commissioning process.
NOTE: Modification in communication period does not slowdown the alarms. The voltage loss is sent
immediately on demand. The communication period is used to send regular metering data (P, U, I, E, PF),
not voltage loss alarms.
NOTE:
 The radio channel is chosen in the wireless settings of Acti9 PowerTag Link and is applied to all the
wireless communication devices that are commissioned with Acti9 PowerTag Link.
 A set of Acti9 PowerTag Link devices has to be installed and commissioned to concentrate all the
needed Wireless communication devices.
NOTE: The communication period of thermal sensors is different. Please contact Schneider Electric for
more information.

SNTP Mode
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer
systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks.
A less complex implementation of NTP, using the same protocol without the storage of state over extended
periods of time is known as the Simple Network Time Protocol. It is used in embedded devices and in
applications where high accuracy timing is not required.
When automatic time configuration is selected and NTP servers are configured, the Acti9 PowerTag Link
can communicate with NTP and server to synchronizes its time.
The Acti9 PowerTag Link supports time synchronization with remote server using SNTP. When SNTP is
activated, time synchronization from one of the selected time servers can be achieved at every configured
interval and also supports Modbus time services Get Date-Time (function code 43-15) and Set Date-Time
(function code 43-16). The time is configured in 24-hour format.

PowerTag Link/PowerTag Link HD provides:
 Total active power demand calculated on a sliding block interval.
 Maximum of the total active power demand.
 Date and time of occurrence of that maximum.

Power Demand Calculation

Power demand is calculated using arithmetical integration of the power value during a period of time
(interval) divided by the length of the interval. The result is equivalent to the energy accumulated during
the interval divided by the length of the interval.

Interval for Power Demand Calculation

Power demand is calculated over a sliding block interval. Navigate to Settings → Devices → Demand to
set the interval duration from 1 to 60 minutes. The default value is 10 mn.

Maximum Power Demand

The maximum power demand is the highest value calculated since the beginning of the measurement or
the last reset. PowerTag Link/PowerTag Link HD time stamps (date and time) the maximum power
demand occurrence.
PowerTag Link/PowerTag Link HD stores the maximum power demand and the associated date and time.

Voltage Loss

This alarm indicates that the circuit on which PowerTag is installed is no longer under voltage. The cause
of the voltage loss can be a manual opening of the circuit, a mains power outage, a circuit breaker tripping.
PowerTag sends the Voltage Loss alarm to the gateway as soon as it happens, and before being fully de-
energized, i.e the alarm response-time does not depend on the wireless communication period.The alarm
will automatically disappear as soon as the PowerTag E is powered again.

Current Overload at Voltage Loss

This alarm indicates that, there will be overcurrent during the time of voltage loss. This alarm occurs only
if the option is activated. The alarm is managed only if the nominal current or the breaker rating (Ir) of the
associated protection device has been set.
NOTE: RMS value of the current during the voltage loss, are available in the Modbus table. (See Modbus
Registers section for more details). These measurements help to diagnose the root cause of the
overcurrent.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH

Modbus Table Format and Data Types

Table Formats
Register tables have the following columns:

Address Register No. RW X Unit Type Range Default Svd Function Description
Value Code

Designation Description
Address 16-bit register address in hexadecimal. The address is the data used in the Modbus frame.
Register 16-bit register number in decimal. Register = Address + 1
No Number of 16-bit registers that need to be read/written to access the complete information
R/RW Whether the register is read only (R) or read-write (RW).
X Scale factor:
 Scale “X1” means that the value of the register is the right one with the unit indicated.
 A scale of 10 means that the register contains the value multiplied by 10. The actual value is therefore the value of the
register divided by 10.
 A scale of 0.1 means that the register contains the value multiplied by 0.1. The actual value is therefore the value of the
register multiplied by 10.
Unit Information unit of measurement:
 “–”: no unit corresponding to the value expressed.
 “h”: hours
 “D”: the unit depends on the connected device.

Type Coding data type (see Data type table below).

Range Range of permitted values for the variable, usually a subset of what the format allows. For BITMAP type data, the content
of this domain is “–”.
Default Value Default value for the variable
Svd Saving the value in the event of a power failure:
 “Y”: the value of the register is saved in the event of a power failure.
 “N”: the value is lost in the event of a power failure.

NOTE: On start-up or reset, the available values are retrieved.

Function code Code of functions that can be used in the register.
Applicable Availability of the data depending on the associated device:
Devices  “Y”: the associated device provides the information.
 “N”: the associated device provides the information.

Description Information about the register and the restrictions that apply.

Data Types
The following data types appear in the tables of Modbus registers:

negative normalized real)

96 DOCA0157EN-01 07/2019
 Modbus Registers Tables

For ASCII type data, the order of transmission of characters in words (16-bit registers) is as follows:
 Character n as least significant
 Character n + 1 as most significant

All registers (16-bit or 2 bytes) are transmitted with Big Endian coding:
 The most significant byte is transmitted first.
 The least significant byte is transmitted second.

32-bit variables saved on two 16-bit words (e.g. consumption meters) are in Big Endian format:
 The most significant word is transmitted first, then the least significant.
64-bit variables saved on four 16-bit words (e.g. dates) are in Big Endian format:
 The most significant word is transmitted first, and so on.

DATE
DATE format in accordance with TI081 standard:

Word Bits
15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
1 Reserved (0) R4 (0) Year (0...127)
2 0 Month (1...12) WD (0) Day (1...31)
3 SU (0) 0 Hour (0...23) iV 0 Minute (0...59)
4 Millisecond (0...59,999)
R4: Bit reserved
Year: 7 bits (year starting at 2000)
Month: 4 bits
Day: 5 bits
Hour: 5 bits
Minute: 6 bits
Millisecond: 16 bits
WD (day of the week) : Bit at 0 if this parameter is not used.
SU (summertime): Bit at 1 for summertime, bit at 0 if this parameter is not used.
iV (validity of the information received): Bit at 1 if the information is not valid, bit at 0 if this parameter is not used.

Direct Bit Addressing

Addressing is permitted for BITMAP type zones with functions 1, 2, 5, and 15.
The address of the first bit is constructed as follows: (register address x 16) + bit number.
This addressing mode is specific to Schneider Electric.
Example: For functions 1, 2, 5, and 15, bit 3 of register 0x0078 should be addressed; the bit address is
therefore 0x0783.
NOTE: The register whose bit needs to be addressed should have an address ≤ 0x0FFF.

Load Monitoring Registers

The Modbus Registers of the PowerTag energy sensor allows you to monitor the following status in any
supervision system.
Alarms with two Types
 The voltage loss of the load.
 If an overload has occurred at the voltage loss event.

Load Operating Time: The duration of how long the load worked effectively (above a certain power, this
avoiding idle/standby times to be counted), to optimize the maintenance times.

Asset Name Displays the user-defined asset name of the wireless device.
Usage Displays the user-defined usage of the wireless device.
Product Displays the type of wireless sensor.
LQI Displays the measurement of the strength and / or quality of the received frames.
The following values of LQI indicates the quality of the received frames:
 The value from 0...29 indicates that the RF communication is bad. In this case, check whether the rules of
installation are respected. You can also change the location of the Acti9 PowerTag Link inside the panel to be
closer to the PowerTag energy sensors.
 The values from 29...59 indicates that the RF communication is average. In this case, look at the RSSI value
whether to accept the level of quality or not. If the RSSI is above limit, consider the value of LQI as acceptable.
 The value greater than 59 indicates that the RF communication is OK.

NOTE: It is recommended to use this indicator as the main indicator of acceptance.

Radio Quality Displays the quality of the frames. When the LQI value is greater then 59, it indicates with green light and when LQI
value is lesser than 29, it indicates with red light. When the LQI value is between 30 and 59, it indicates with orange
light.
RSSI Displays the measurement of the power level (in dBm) that an RF device is exchanging from the remote radio nodes.
This indicator is used if the LQI is not acceptable.
 The value < -95 dBm is not good.
 The value > -95 dBm is acceptable.

PER Displays the ratio of the packet that does not reach a destination over the total expected number of packets and is
expressed as percentage. For Acti9 PowerTag Link system, the ratio is calculated over a fixed window of five minutes.

Modbus TCP/IP Functions

General Description
The Modbus messaging service provides a client/server communication between devices connected on
an Ethernet TCP/IP network.
The client/server model is based on four type of messages:
 Modbus Request, the message sent on the network by the client to initiate a transaction.
 Modbus Indication, the request message received on the server side.
 Modbus Response, the response message sent by the server.
 Modbus Confirmation, the response message received on the client side.

The Modbus messaging services (client/server model) are used for real time information exchange
between:
 Two device applications.
 Device application and other device.
 HMI/SCADA applications and devices.
 A PC and a device program providing on line services.

A dedicated header is used on TCP/IP to identify the Modbus Application Data Unit. It is called the MBAP
header (Modbus Application Protocol header).

The MBAP header contains the following fields:

Fields Length Description Client Server

Transaction Identifier 2 bytes Identification of a Modbus Initialized by the client Recopied by the server from the
Request/Response transaction received request
Protocol Identifier 2 bytes 0 = Modbus protocol Initialized by the client Recopied by the server from the
received request
Length 2 bytes Number of following bytes Initialized by the client Initialized by the server (Response)
(Request)
Unit Identifier 1 byte Identification of a remote slave Initialized by the client Recopied by the server from the
connected on a serial line or on received request
other buses

Modbus TCP/IP Exception Codes

Exception Responses
Exception responses issued by the master or a slave can be the result of data processing errors. One of
the following events can occur after a request from the master:
 If the slave receives the request from the master without a communication error and manages the
request correctly, it sends back a normal response.
 If the slave does not receive the request from the master due to a communication error, it does not send
back a response. The master program ends by applying a time delay condition to the request.
 If the slave receives the request from the master but detects a communication error, it does not send
back a response. The master program ends by applying a time delay condition to the request.
 If the slave receives the request from the master without a communication error but cannot manage it
(for example, the request consists of reading a register that does not exist), the slave sends back an
exception response to inform the master of the nature of the error.

Exception Frame
The slave sends an exception frame to the master to indicate an exception response. An exception
response consists of four fields:

Field Definition Size

1 Slave number 1 byte
2 Exception function code 1 byte
3 Exception code n bytes
4 Check 2 bytes

Managing Modbus Exceptions

The exception response frame consists of two fields that distinguish it from a normal response frame:
 The exception response's exception function code is the same as the original request function code plus
128 (0x80).
 The exception code depends on the communication error detected by the slave.
The following table describes the exception codes managed by the Acti9 PowerTag Link device:

Exception Code Name Description

01 Illegal function The function code received in the request is not a permitted action for the slave. It
is possible that the slave is in an unsuitable state to process a specific request.
02 Illegal data address The data address received by the slave is not a permitted address for the slave.
03 Illegal data value The value of the request data field is not a permitted value for the slave.
04 Slave device failure The slave is unable to perform a required action due to an unrecoverable error.
06 Slave device busy The slave is busy processing another command. The master should send the
request once the slave is free.

NOTE: For more information, a detailed description of the Modbus protocol is available on
www.modbus.org.

Access to Variables
A Modbus variable can have the following attributes:
 Read-only
 Read/write
 Write-only

NOTE: An attempt to write to a read-only variable generates an exception response.
