Appendix EngyVolt RV12 Appendix 11.1 Basis of measurement and calculations 11.1.1 Phase to Phase voltages for 3 phase 4 wire devices Phase to Phase voltages are measured directly and calculated as RMS values. Situations where the phases are not spaced 120 degrees apart (e.g. 4 wire open delta) are indicated correctly.
EngyVolt RV12 Appendix 11.1.6 Total harmonic distortion – THD The calculation used for Total Harmonic Distortion is: THD = ((RMS of total waveform – RMS of fundamental) / RMS of total waveform) x 100. This is often referred to as THD–R, and lies in the range 0 to 100 %.

Appendix EngyVolt RV12 11.4.1 Modbus data format The Modbus Protocol defines the format for the master’s query and the slave’s response. The query contains the device (or broadcast) address, a function code defining the requested action, any data to be sent, and an error-checking field. The response contains fields confirming the action taken, any data to be returned, and an error-checking field.

EngyVolt RV12 Appendix Error check (Hi): The top (most significant) eight bits of a 16-bit number representing the error check value. Response The example illustrates the normal response to a request for a single floating point parameter i.e. two 16-bit Modbus Protocol Registers.
Page 46
Appendix EngyVolt RV12 Exception response If an error is detected in the content of the query (excluding parity errors and error check mismatch), then an error response (called an exception response), will be sent to the master. The exception response is identified by the function code being a copy of the query function code but with the most-significant bit set.

EngyVolt RV12 Appendix 11.4.3 Modbus protocol message timing A Modbus protocol message has defined beginning and ending points. The receiving device recognizes the start of the message, reads the “Slave Address” to determine if they are being addressed and knowing when the message is completed they can use the Error Check bytes and parity bits to confirm the integrity of the message.

EngyVolt RV12 Appendix This process is repeated until all eight shifts have been performed. After the last shift, the next 8-bit message byte is exclusive OR' e d with the lower half of the 16 bit register, and the process repeated. The final contents of the register, after all the bytes of the message have been applied, is the error check value.

Appendix EngyVolt RV12 mantissa is always arranged to be 1 and is thus not needed in the representation of the number. The process by which the most significant bit is arranged to be 1 is called normalisation, the mantissa is thus referred to as a “normal mantissa”. During normalisation the bits in the mantissa are shifted to the left whilst the exponent is decremented until the most significant bit of the mantissa is one.
