Panel Server Modbus Registers

[Andy_Hubert]

Hi,

I have two Panel Servers on a site that are connected to pulse inputs, when I was on site I was able to prove the wiring, as we had values counting in Eco Power commission.

I am now trying to add a device type to PME so that I can read the values, and create virtual devices so we can view the consumption.

Which registers do I need to read from the Panel servers?? I am trying 401099 and 401101, but I don't get anything sensible, one of the values is 0 the other is 1091895296.

If I try to read registers 401115 and 401119 all I get is -1 as a value.

I have also tried various formats, none seem to work.

Thanks

Andy Hubert

Hi Andy,

Here is the register information:

Hi @Andy_Hubert , 

This is working for me:

There is a delay between the value displayed on EPC and the value available through Modbus Register.

Hi, 

Attached is a screenshot of what I am seeing

Hi

Fixed it, finally found the right combination of register number and format.

Thanks

Hi Again,

I am now trying to get the flow values, and again the registers don't give me anything other than a -0.

Attached is a picture of what I have, this shows the registers I am reading, the values from the Panel server, and values in Vista.

Thanks

Andy

Hi 

screenshot  hereunder ot the test made for DI1 configured in pulse counter => result is OK
It seems  that you don't use the correct register  The correct in table bellow.

Local Digital Inputs

0x0494

1173

2

R

-

-

Float32

0xFFC00000

Y

3, 100-4

Measured flow unit on DI1 if DI1 mode is set to Pulse

Please also check the PaS fw version and update to the last version 1.5.1 if needed.

@Thierry_Baudard  can you explain why @Romain_Polette  is having a different register in INT64 which is an approved PDM format for Energy ?

Hello @Andy_Hubert , 

This seems more a PME topic 🙂

DO NOT FORGET: when developing with DTE, please use the Modbus Register number (address + 1) and not the Modbus Register address.

Some months ago, I developed a simple PME Driver for Panel Server. This seems working (not so bad).

I do not share for the moment, because a PME Bug was logged by devs (N/A values not managed for INT64):

https://community.se.com/t5/EcoStruxure-Power-Monitoring/NotAvailableValue-not-Managed-on-Vista/td-p...

Below registers I used in my .xml driver file (use you own ION Handles):

<ModbusInfo IONHandle="221250305" Name="DI1_Cumulative_Value" ModbusAddress="401123" RequestType="R" Format="S64-87-21" NotAvailableValue="0x8000000000000000"/>
<ModbusInfo IONHandle="221250306" Name="DI2_Cumulative_Value" ModbusAddress="401127" RequestType="R" Format="S64-87-21" NotAvailableValue="0x8000000000000000"/>

<ModbusInfo IONHandle="221250311" Name="DI1_Flow" ModbusAddress="401173" RequestType="R" Format="IEEEFloat" NotAvailableValue="0xFFC00000"/>
<ModbusInfo IONHandle="221250312" Name="DI2_Flow" ModbusAddress="401175" RequestType="R" Format="IEEEFloat" NotAvailableValue="0xFFC00000"/>

Contact me in DM if needed.

PS: @Guillaume_Evrard, registers in my previous post were related to Pulse Counter (INT64 1098 and 1102), not to Energy / Cumulated Value (INT64 1122 and 1126). 

Regard,

Hi Romain,

I have now made those work, Thanks.

I have attached the device type from the server, this version also allows you to add an offset and scale in the Panel Server, and PME works it out.
