Day program sets up to 4 time spots (rules) for each day group in a season for tariff switching. A date of real time clock defines an active period. An individual period is active from the period starting date to the first next date of the beginning of other periods.

A device measures all primary quantities with sample frequency which cannot exceed a certain number of samples in a time period. Based on these limitations (65 Hz∙128 samples) a sample factor is calculated. A sample factor (M ), depending on frequency of a measured signal, defines a number of periods for a measurement calculation and thus a number of harmonics considered in calculations. Average interval − MP Due to readability of measurements from LCD and via communication, an Average interval (M ) is calculated with regard to the measured signal frequency. The Average interval (see chapter Average interval on page 41) defines refresh rate of displayed measurements based on a sampling factor.

Communication. Structure of the input/output telegram When Iskra MC350H Profibus enters the Data Exchange operation mode then standard SRD (Send and Request Data with acknowledge) telegrams are exchanged between Master device and MC350H device. Iskra defines one output telegrams (master to slave) and 4 input telegrams (slave to master), to provide data information being exchanged. Output telegram is used to write data into the output module registers. And the input telegrams are used to read one of four modules with measuring data. Telegrams are defined on the data section field (data field up to 244 Bytes long) inside the SDR message structure. The purpose of telegrams definition is to provide exchange of measurements data from MC350H to the Master device and to control MC350H outputs from the Master device. MC350H output telegram is defined as: Master telegram to the Slave Meaning/contents Value Header byte 0 Telegram ID – or module number of the data 1‐5 segment to be requested Header byte 1 reserved‐not used at this time Header byte 2 control byte WRXXX XXXDU Header byte 3 reserved‐not used at this time Data bytes 4‐128 up to 124 bytes of user data user data being exchanged Measuring centres – MC320, MC330, MC350 & MC350H ‐ User’s Manual ...

Header byte 3 status byte XXXUP XXIDX Data bytes 4‐128 up to 124 bytes of user data user data being exchanged Header byte 0 indicates the module number index being requested. With this number (1‐5) MC350H indicates to the Master which module of data is being transferred inside the SRD data section. Header bytes 1 and 2 are not used. Header byte 3 is used as a status byte with the following meaning. B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0 X X X UP X X ID X With bit 4 (UP) set to 1 MC350H indicates to the Master that internal data update is in progress. Value 0 means that internal data processing completed. With bit 1 (ID) set to 1 MC350 signalizes to the Master that telegram ID inside the header byte 1 is wrong (not in the range 1‐5). This prevents errors when addressing wrong input telegrams at the Master output telegram. 64 Measuring centres – MC320, MC330, MC350 & MC350H ‐ User’s Manual ...

Acknowledgement (ACK = E5). If the telegram was not correctly received the MC350 will not send an acknowledgement. Select M‐BUS MC350 Using Secondary Address (SND_UD) This Telegram enables to select M‐BUS MC350. The M‐BUS MC350 confirms the correct receipt by ACK. If the telegram has not been correctly received the M‐BUS MC350 will not send an Acknowledgement. After issue of the Single Character Acknowledgement the M‐BUS MC350 is ready to transmit the entire Read‐out Data within 3 seconds from receiving the Telegram „Transmit Read‐out Data“. At the end of 3 seconds the M‐BUS MC350 will switch back to normal mode. Transmit Read‐out Data via Primary / Secondary Address (REQ_UD2) This Short Telegram enables to select the M‐BUS MC350 and to command it to transmit the Read‐out Data parameterized. The M‐BUS MC350 confirms correct receipt by transmitting of the Read‐out Data. If the Short Telegram has not been received correctly; no Data will be transmitted by the M‐BUS MC350. The Read‐out Data are sent within 35 – 75 ms from receipt of the Short Telegram by the M‐BUS Meter. Appendix D shows M‐Bus telegrams. 68 Measuring centres – MC320, MC330, MC350 & MC350H ‐ User’s Manual ...
