Starting! This manual is about Ethernet module of Acuvim II meter. With Ethernet module, Acuvim II meter can be linked to Ethernet network easily, and it can realize distribution automation based on Ethernet. Please read this manual carefully before operating and setting the Acuvim II meter to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Ethernet module is an extended communication module of Acuvim II meter. With Ethernet module, Acuvim II meter can be linked to Ethernet easily. 1.1 Ethernet Introduction Ethernet was originally developed by Xerox and then developed further by Xerox, DEC, and Intel. Ethernet uses a Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol, and provides transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps.
Page 9
and the default value of protocol port is 80, and the scope of protocol port is 6000~9999.
NOTE Ethernet module must be linked The environment temperature and to Acuvim II meter when it is to humidity should fulfill the requirement be used. In addition, Ethernet of Acuvim II meter. Otherwise it may module must be the first extended cause the meter damage.
(Bottom View) 2.2 Installation Method Ethernet module is linked to Acuvim II meter by communication plug. It can also be linked to other extended modules like IO modules. Insert the installation clips to the counterpart of Acuvim II meter, and then press the Ethernet module lightly, so linking is established. Tighten the installation screw.
Note: 1. lightly in installation or it may cause damage to the IO modules; 2. Installation with power is forbidden. 2.3 Definition of RJ45 Interface The Ethernet module uses standard RJ45 connector access Ethernet network. The mechanical and electrical characteristics of connector are consistent with the requirements of IEC 603-7.
LED off indicates 10Mbps. LED_R (green): display link and activity status combined. LED on indicates link status, while LED flash indicates activity. 2.4 Cable Shielded twisted-pair cable (standard 568A or standard 568B) is usually recommended as reference to the EIA/TIA standard. 2.5 Connection Method 1.

3.3 Description of Modbus/TCP protocol The Modbus/TCP protocol is used for communication in Ethernet module. The protocol sets up master/slave link in Ethernet. First, master device (client) sets up TCP link with slave device (server). Second, master device sends request frame to slave device, and slave device receives request frame and returns response frame to master device.
Page 31
3) Function Field The function code field of a message frame contains eight bits. Valid codes are in the range of 1~255 decimal. When a message is sent from a client to a server device the function code field tells the server what kind of action to perform.
