Extreme environmental conditions affect the function of the product. Protect product from impact Use only in indoor areas Protect product from moisture 2.4 Qualification of personnel...
The data, even from different slaves, can be combined in the displays as desired. As a Modbus slave, the AD-MM 400 displays data it receives via the interface from a Modbus master. Again, the displays are freely configurable.
Display RS-485 AD-PC Figure 3.1: Blockdiagram of the AD-MM 400 3.5 Display and Controls The AD-MM 400 has a color TFT display for displaying the data and three buttons for operation and configuration. Short and long keystrokes are evaluated differently.

4 Specifications 4.1 RS-485 interface The connection to the other devices must be established via a twisted shielded bus cable. The order of the devices among each other is arbitrary. For reasons of electro- magnetic compatibility, the shield must be connected at both ends to a large area and to be connected in a good conducting manner to the protective end.
5 Assembly and Commissioning 5.1 Electrical Connection DANGER Life hazard due to electric shock The terminals of the auxiliary voltage inputs are hazardous to contact. Disconnect mains voltage and secure against restarting. Ensure contact protection of the connections. Protect all connections from electrostatic discharge. 5.2 Commissioning the device Disconnect the power supply.
Configuration Software AD-Studio via the configuration interface. 6.1 Operating modes The AD-MM 400 can be either a Modbus master (default setting) or a Modbus slave. The operating mode can be changed under ’Device functions’ in the Configuration Software AD-Studio .

2. The Modbus data tables of the connected slaves must be known. 3. Set the desired slave address on all slaves. 4. Make sure that all slaves and the AD-MM 400 use the same baud rate and parity. When using devices of the Adamczewski elektronische Messtechnik GmbH , you do not have to worry about it because all devices use the same settings (19200 baud, 8 data bits, even parity, 1 stop bit).
6.1.2 AD-MM 400 as Modbus slave In this operating mode, the AD-MM 400 receives the values to be displayed from an external Modbus master, e.g. A PLC or a PC. The configuration of the displays is...
4. The configuration of the display lines and displays is exactly the same as in the master operating mode. 5. The AD-MM 400 now behaves like any other Modbus slave. Modbus function 16 (Write Multiple Registers) can now write data to the configured registers.
6.2.1 Views The AD-MM 400 can display up to 10 Views. These can be scrolled automatically with the ’up’ and ’down’ buttons either manually or with a timer. Anzeige 1 down Anzeige ... down Anzeige 10 down Figure 6.5: scroll through the views A view contains a title line and can contain one to four lines of data.
The following parameters are available to configure the displays. INFO Default values of the AD-MM 400 The AD-MM 400 contains as default values exemplary settings with which the data of the AD-LU 30 GT can be displayed as slave. Name...
As a master, the AD-MM 400 automatically fetches the value from a holding register of the slave. In the slave mode, the values transferred by the master are displayed here. unit The physical unit of the value is displayed in this area.

Master/Slave mode can be used to determine whether the AD-MM 400 is acting as master or slave on Modbus. With ’RS-485 slave address’, the slave address of the AD-MM 400 can be determined in slave mode. In the master mode, this parameter has no meaning.
Adamczewski elektronische Messtechnik GmbH . 7.2 Changing the slave address If the AD-MM 400 is operating in slave mode, the slave address can be changed with the Configuration Software AD-Studio . The slave address is not relevant as a Modbus master.
7.5 Supported Functions The AD-MM 400 supports the following functions as master and slave on the RS-485 interface. 3 (0x03) Read Holding Registers. 16 (0x10) Write Multiple Registers. 7.5.1 Read Holding Registers This function is used to read one or more registers.
7.6 7.6 Exception Codes In the event of an error, the AD-MM 400 will respond with a Error telegram and one of the following exception codes. As The function code is returned with 0x80. 1 (0x01) The Modbus function is not supported.
