MODBUS FUNCTIONALITY

The RTU will allow the reading of incoming values (PQ) and line values through Modbus-
TCP. The enabling of this service will be configurable.
There will be Modbus functions for reading “input registers” (function 4) to obtain
measurement data, and reading “coils” (function 1) to obtain the status of the alarms.
The register addresses used for the information of the different cards will always be the
same, that is, they will have an identical mapping all of them. Access to the data of an
specific card will be performed by using the "unit id" field defined in the Modbus TCP
protocol. In this way, the variables associated with the RTU (connection) will be available
with the unit id 100, the variables from cards, with the “unit id” equal to the line address
configured in their encoders, or the 99 in case of being VTN.
For Modbus functionality to work properly, the configuration of a repeated line number
is NOT allowed among different cards.

Configuration
For enabling Modbus, the following parameters must be configured:

• modbusEnabled. Set to Y.
• modbusPort. Listening port for RTU modbus server. Default: 502.
• IP address.
• Mask for network configuration.
• Default gateway (not strictly needed if Modbus client is in the same LAN as the
RTU).
Apart from that, the following points must be considered:

• The Modbus client will need to connect to the IP and port configured in the
parameters listed above.
• The minimal refresh time for PQ data (unit id 100) is 15 seconds. The recommended
refresh time is 60 seconds.
• The minimal refresh time for meter data is 15 seconds. However, it is not
recommended to interrogate multiple cards at the same time or with a period
lower than 60 seconds, as it implies communication through the shared RS485
bus and could cause the delay of other RTU tasks.
• For the system to start measuring, it is needed that a correct date and time is set
on it. It can be done manually, but it is recommended that an NTP server is
configured to ensure a correct and permanent date availability.
• As stated above, it is not allowed that multiple cards share their line address.
• In a VTN is installed, no other card can be configured with line equal to 99.

 • To ensure that alarms are correctly notified in the coils registered, they must be
enabled and correctly configured.

Modbus Map
The next Modbus Map lists all the measurements that are possible to read through
Modbus, along with their Modbus functions, register addresses, unit id, data type and
corresponding units.
