  • Page 10: Color Monitor Networking

    The Color Monitor’s backpanel has Modbus RTU and Ethernet ports (Figure 4). For Color Monitors embedded in PDI products (PDUs, RPPs, or JCOMMs), Modbus RTU backpanel connections are typically made in manufacturing and extended to a terminal block or external panel for convenient customer access.

  • Page 11: Modbus Rtu Ports

    Table 1 Pin-Out for Modbus Headers 2.2.2 Modbus RTU 2-Wire vs. 4-Wire Configuration PDI devices have two (2) jumpers near their Modbus ports for configuring 2-wire vs. 4-wire Modbus RTU (see Figure 4). The Monitor’s 2-wire configuration jumpers are W1 and W2 (upstream) and W3 and W4 (downstream).

  • Page 12: Modbus Rtu Cables

    The maximum length of Ethernet cable depends upon the customer’s choice of Ethernet cable. 2.5 Customer Modbus RTU Connections When a Color Monitor is embedded in a PDI product (PDU, RPP, or JCOMM), the customer does not typically wire Modbus RTU directly to the Monitor. Downstream Modbus RTU links are typically to internal devices and are wired at the factory.

  • Page 22: Device Chain: Settings

    WaveStar Color Monitor_____________________________________________________________ 4 Device Chain: Settings A “device” is a points list (or Modbus register map) representing a physical monitored entity, such as a panelboard. Each points list instance has a single Modbus address. A single PCB can have multiple devices with their own Modbus addresses. A BCMS Data Acquisition Board, for example, can have two panelboard devices plus a small two-subfeed device, or up to three Modbus addresses.

  • Page 23: Device Settings

    Each device has a SETTINGS screen for changing device name, software version, and device configuration. These settings provide information to the Monitor in addition to each device’s own internal setup. Device settings will usually be entered by PDI manufacturing or service representatives, but can be entered by customer administrators. 4.2.1 PDU Device Settings PDU devices (Figure 17) have only two settings: device NAME and VERSION.
