Communication Protocol V10x A
1. SERIAL COMMUNICATION
1.1 COMMUNICATION INTERFACE
The optional serial interface RS485 allows to address up to 247 controllers in a network
communicating remotely with a host computer or master controller.
RS485 Interface
• Compatible line signals with RS485 standard;
• 3 wire connection from master to up to 31 slaves indicators in a multidrop bus. It is
possible address 247 nodes with multiple outputs converters;
• Maximum communication distance: 1000 meters.
• The RS485 signal are:
D1 = D:
Bidirectional data line.
D0 = D:
Bidirectional inverted data line.
C = GND:
Optional connection which left communication better.
General Characteristics
• Optically isolated serial interface;
• Programmable baud rate: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 and
115200 bps.
• Data Bits: 8
• Parity: None, Even or Odd.
• Stop Bits: 1
1.2 CONNECTIONS
Communication Protocol
The MOSBUS RTU slave is implemented, available in most SCADA softwares in the
market.
All configurable parameters can be accessed (for reading or writing) through the
Registers Table. Broadcast commands are supported as well (address 0).
The available Modbus commands are:
03 - Read Holding Register;
05 - Force Single Coil (Force Digital Output State);
06 - Preset Single Register;
16 - Preset Multiple Register.
The registers are arranged in a table in such a way that several registers can be read in
the same request.
1.3 CONFIGURATION OF SERIAL COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS
Three parameters must be configured in the device for serial communication:
bavd
: Baud rate. All devices with same baud rate.
addr
: Device communication address. Each device must have an exclusive
address.
Prty
: Parity.
1.4 REGISTERS TABLE
Equivalent to the registers referenced as 4X.
The holding registers are basically a list of the internal indicator parameters. All
registers above address 12 can be read or written. The registers up to this address in
more are read only. Please verify each case. Each table parameter is a 16 bits two
complement signed word.
Holding
Registers Parameter
Register Description
0000
Active SP
Read: Active control SP (main SP, from ramp and
soak or from remote SP).
Write: to main SP.
Range: from spll to spkl.
0001
PV
Read: Process Variable.
Write: Not allowed.
Range: Minimum value is the one configured in spll
and the maximum value is the one configured in
spkl
. Decimal point position depends on dppo
value.
In case of temperature reading, the value read is
always multiplied by 10, independently of dppo
value.
0002
MV
Read: Output Power in automatic or manual mode.
Write: Not allowed. See address 28.
Range: 0 to 1000 (0.0 to 100.0 %).

0004
Display value
Read: Current value shown on display.
Write: Current value shown on display.
Range: -1999 to 9999. The range depends on the
displayed parameter.
0005
Prompt index
Read: Current prompt position in the parameters
flowchart.
Write: not allowed. Range: 0000h to 060Ch
Prompt number format: XXYYh, where:
XX→ menu cycle number
YY→ prompt number (index).
0006
Status Word 1 Read: Status bits. See table 2.
Write: not allowed.
0007
Software
Version
Read: The firmware version of controller. If V1.00, the
read value will be 100.
