Overview
The meter can communicate with your PC. In order to read
out the meter registers, install and configure the PC software. Use
an RS-485 converter to connect the PC and the meter.
The cable should be connected to terminals 10 and 11. The default communication address of the meter is 01.
The Modbus implementation used is Modbus basic (standard) with the following settings:
-
Baud rate 19200
-
8 data bits
-
Even parity
-
1 stop bit
The baud rate values can be changed to 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 38400. The parity can be set to none or odd. Data and stop bit cannot be changed.
NOTE:
When connecting the meter through a serial converter (RS-485) for testing, position an additional resistor (120 Ω/ 0.25 W) across the terminals (10 and 11) on the meter side.
