Example: Adding Modbus TCP Energy meter of Elnet
Introduction
We will configure the Modbus TCP energy meter from company Elnet.
Modbus Specification of Elnet
Here you can download and read the manual for the energy meter and a Modbus TCP configuration manual.
Configuration
Elnet energy meters have several registers:
We have to create a separate Modbus element for each register inside the Vutlan web interface.
Elnet meters use decimal numbers for Modbus registers index. In the Vutlan systems, we use hexadecimal numbers.
The correct register indexes in the HEX form are:
Registers | Register indexes |
---|---|
Voltage Line 1 | 0001 |
Voltage Line 2 | 0003 |
Voltage Line 3 | 0005 |
Voltage between line 1 and Line 2 | 0007 |
Voltage between line 2 and Line 3 | 0009 |
Voltage between line 3 and Line 1 | 000B |
Current in Line 1 | 000D |
Current in Line 2 | 000F |
Current in Line 3 | 0011 |
Result
An element for “Current in Line 2”:
An element for “Voltage Line 1”:
An element for “Voltage Line 3”:
We can see all register elements inside a Web interface >> System tree >> Modbus elements
