Data Transmission - Finder 7E.23 Instructions De Montage Et D'utilisation

Technical data Modbus
Bus system
Transmission rate
Transmission mode
Bus length (max.)
Response time:
■ The communication is ready 30 s after the power on
■ The use of energy meter in bus with intensive communication could reduce the performance of the bus
■ Refresh time for the data is 5 s. For this reason one energy meter should be not polled faster as 5 s
■ 247 devices could be connected to the Modbus. With more than 128 devices, a repeater should be used
■ The interface don't have a terminal resistor, this must be provided external
■ For a description of the used registers please look at the register page

Data transmission

■ Only «Read Holding Registers [03]/ Write Multiple Registers [16]» instructions are recognized.
■ Up to 20 Registers can be read at a time.
■ The device supports broadcast messages.
■ In accordance with the Modbus protocol, a register R is numbered as R - 1 when transmitted.
■ The device has a voltage monitoring system. In case of voltage loss, registers are stored in EEPROM (transmission
rate, etc.)
Exception Responses
■ ILLEGAL FUNCTION [01]: The function code is not supported.
■ ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS [02]: The address of some requested registers is out of range
or more than 20 registers have been requested.
■ ILLEGAL DATA VALUE [03]: The value in the data field is invalid for the referenced register.
Changing the Modbus address direct on device
■ In the menu, go for «U»
■ Push long ( ≥ 3 sec) ➞ «Adr»
■ Push short ➞ address +1, push long ➞ address +10
■ Once the desired address is selected wait, to validate, till the root menu to come back
