Run Modbus Poll and click Connection to bring out dialogue box as shown in Fig.17. Select TCP/IP. Input the IP of the computer which is running Server in IP Address. It is usually set as 502 in Port, which is the same as the port of users parameter in Server. Click OK to link Server.

Fig. 4After being connected to Server, click Read/Write Definition in Setup to bring out the dialogue box as shown in Fig.18.

Fig. 5 Slave ID is the address of slave computer. Function command type is 0x03/0x04. Address is the initial address (decimal system) of Modbus TCP/IP protocol. As for Sfere 300 meters, the address range which can be read is 0x0000-0x0035 and 0x0100- 0x01C3. Quantity is the data length (byte). Data length and initial address should be within 0x0000-0x0035 and 0x0100- 0x01C3. After completing the settings, click OK. Fig.19 shows the Modbus Poll is linking with Server and the data exchanging between them. On-line User shows the IP of user; 51723 is the automatically distributed communication port number; ID in On-line Meter shows the address of meters.

Fig. 66. Short Message Operation Instruction

6.1. Read parameters of meters through short message

The letters in the commands are not case sensitive. For example, command READ01 can also may written as rEad01. But if you send a message to change the parameters, the letters in that message are case sensitive. All of the following commands are written in capital letters.

6.1.1. READ01 means to read the basic parameters of primary side (phase voltage, line voltage, current, active power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor and frequency) Ua,Ub,Uc, Uab,Ubc,Uca, Ia,Ib,Ic,P,Q,S ,PF,RF

6.1.2. READ02 means to read the four-quadrant electric energy of primary side (active energy import, active energy export, reactive energy import and reactive energy export) WPP, WPN, WQP, WQN

6.1.3. READ03 means to read the basic parameters of secondary side (phase voltage, line voltage, current, total active power, total reactive power, total apparent power, total power factor and grid frequency) Ua,Ub,Uc, Uab,Ubc,Uca, Ia,Ib,Ic,P,Q,S,PF,RF,

6.1.4. READ04 means to read the parameters of voltage or current (positive sequence, negative sequence, zero sequence and imbalance) and electric quantity phase. Up, Un, Uz, YV, Ip, In, Iz, YI, PUa PUb PUc, PIa PIb Pic
