PM800 MODBUS Map Explanation

Is there someone out there that can help me with this? I've searched the forums and documentation downloads for a couple of hours to no avail...

 

I'm trying to decide what MODBUS registers to use for a PM800 in a data acquisition system. I've done this several times for various brands of meters so I'm not new to this.

 

I have the MODBUS map document for a PM800. In this document there's a column in the tables with a heading of Scale. There are various values listed, such as A, B, F, etc. I need to know what this 'Scale' column is for. In the ION8600 MODBUS map document, there's a section at the back that describes each scaling type, etc. There is no such reference in the PM800 map.

 

Anybody?

 

Mitch

Hello @jmitchell ,

 

The PM800 meters have often 2 registers related to a measurement, the first register is the numeric value, the second the scaling. In the modbus guide for the PM800, scaling information is around 3200 section, 3209 for current, 3212 for voltage, 3214 for power.

 

Regards,

Charles

Hello JMitchell,

 

The PM8000 and similar meters support a default Modbus map utilizing the data mapping modules in the meters, and a custom Modbus map. The answer will depend on which one you're using. 

 

I believe the data mapping modules where added around firmware 002.nnn.mmm and the firmware file will contain a spreadsheet with the mapping and format for each register. These registers are primarily 32bit and the Units column provides the units the values will be presented in. 

 

If you're using custom Modbus maps, or Modbus on an older firmware. You can customize the arrangement and values to be added to the Modbus modules, and these modules support custom scaling and you can adjust the format from 16 bit to 32 bit as well as a few other formats. These scale here can be used to multiply or divide the source values to fit register format or improve resolution.

 

Below is an excerpt from the ION Reference manual for Scaling in the Modbus modules.

Four setup registers (InZero, OutZero, InFull and OutFull ) may be used to scale a

range of numeric input values to a specified output range.

 

The following diagram shows how the scaling operation works. For example,

suppose the Modbus Master needs 10-bit data for all inputs, and the kW reading is

required. The Modbus Slave module Format register is set to use UNSIGNED 16-BIT;

the input range is specified as 5000kW to 20000 kW, and the output range is set

from 0 to 1023 to give maximum resolution over this range.

 

Modbus Scaling.png

Any values for the kW register below 5000kW will be exported to the Modbus

Master as a value of 0; any reading in excess of 20,000kW will be exported as a

reading of 1023. The Modbus Master typically can apply the appropriate scaling

and offset values necessary to interpret these values.

 

Note that if the Modbus Master reads data from any register that does not contain

valid data (i.e. if any of the module inputs are not available), the data will be

indicated by the hexadecimal value 0xFFFF; this should not be mistaken for a

valid reading. Ensure that the Modbus Master can recognize this invalid response.

In the case of Packed Boolean format, each unconnected or unavailable input is

represented by a “0” in the output register.

Guess I should clarify here, which I didn't before....

 

I'm using the standard MODBUS mappings as shown in the PM800 MODBUS map (which I assume - maybe incorrectly - are out-of-the-box configurations). Customization of internal modules is not an option at this time.

 

For example, the map shows that register 1100 is Phase A Current:

  • Size =1 (so single register)
  • Type = Integer (which I assume is unsigned)
  • Scale = A (?what does this mean?)
  • Range = 0-32767

 

So I should interpret this as, if the meter is reading 277 (for a 3-phase, 277/480 connection), the MODBUS register will have 277 stored in it? There's no scaling required based on any CT/PT settings?

 

In the ION8600s, I must divide the value in the Phase A Current register by 0.1 (move the decimal point one place to the left, so if I'm getting a reading of 2772, the scaled value will be 277.2.

 

And again, I'm using the default MODBUS maps that are shown to be configured in the meter - out-of-the-box - I believe.

 

Unfortunately, I'm not at the site where this configuration is happening - helping a co-worker remotely - so bouncing the values I'm receiving against PME isn't an option for me (could be for her - but we're half a world apart right now).

The scale factors as Charles mentioned are programmable which are stored as a *signed* integer in registers 3209 (A), 3210 (B), 3212 (D), 3213 (E), 3214 (F).

A = 3 Phase Amps
B = Neutral Amps
D = 3 Phase Volts
E = Neutral Volts
F = Power

Each register contains a signed values which indicates the power of 10 to multiple the main numeric register.

Default is 0 (zero) for all scales except for Neutral Volts (E) which is defaulted to -1.

These scale factors can be configured using ION Setup if you wish to do so.
