40mA Current Input respectively, where kXh may be kWh or kvarh. The default values of 40 and 3200 correspond to a PMC-D726M with 40mA Current Input and other Current Inputs which include 5A, 1A and 2.5mA, respectively.
Please refer to Section 4.4 for a detailed description. Since there are multiple ways to trigger the Digital Outputs on the PMC-D726M, a prioritized scheme has been developed to avoid conflicts between different applications. In general, Front Panel Control has the highest priority and can override other control schemes.
CET Electric Technology 4.1.4 AO Output The PMC-D726M comes optionally with an Analog Output which can be programmed as 0mA to 20mA or 4mA to 20mA output. There are 4 setup parameters: Parameter Description Type Select between 0-20mA or 4-20mA output.

5.8 Time There are two sets of Time registers supported by the PMC-D726M – Year / Month / Day / Hour / Minute / Second (Registers # 60000 to 60002) and UNIX Time (Register # 60004). When sending time to the PMC-D726M over Modbus communications, care should be taken to only write one of the two Time register sets.
Modbus Holding Registers (4XXXXX), which can be controlled with the Force Single Coil command (Function Code 0x05) or the Preset Multiple Hold Registers (Function Code 0x10). The PMC-D726M does not support the Read Coils command (Function Code 0x01) because DO Control registers are “Write- Only”.
