7.2.1 SDO Introduction 7.2.1.1 Upload SDO Protocol Initiate SDO Upload Protocol Before transferring the SDO segments, the client and server need to communicate with each other by using the initiate SDO upload protocol. Via the initiate SDO upload protocol, the SDO client will inform the SDO server what object the SDO client wants to request.
Page 43
0: normal transfer 1: expedited transfer If the e=1, it means that the data of the object are equal or less than 4 bytes, and only initiate SDO upload protocol is needed. If e=0, the upload SDO segment protocol is necessary. s: size indicator 0: Data set size is not indicated.
ccs: client command specified 3: upload segment request scs: server command specified 0: upload segment response t: toggle bit. This bit must alternate for each subsequence segment that is uploaded. The first segment will have the toggle bit set to 0. The toggle bit will be equal for the request and response message.
Page 45
ccs: client command specified 1: initiate download request scs: server command specified 3: initiate download response n: Only valid if e = 1 and s = 1, otherwise 0. If valid, it indicates the number of bytes in d that do not contain data. Bytes [8-n, 7] do not contain segment data.
Page 46
Download Segment Protocol ccs: client command specified 0: download segment request scs: server command specified 1: download segment response seg-data: It is at most 7 bytes of segment data to be downloaded. The encoding depends on the type of the data referenced by index and sub-index. n: It indicates the number of bytes in seg-data that do not contain segment data.

7.2.1.3 Abort SDO Transfer Protocol In some conditions, the SDO client or SDO server will terminate the SDO transmission. For example, the value of entries that users want to modify does not exist or is read-only, even users wouldn’t continue the uncompleted SDO protocol under some special situations.

7.2.2 PDO Introduction 7.2.2.1 PDO COB-ID Parameters Before the real-time data are transmitted by the PDO, it is necessary to check the COB-ID parameter of this PDO in the PDO communication objects. This parameter setting controls the COB-ID of the PDO communication, which is in 32 bits, and each bit with its meaning is given in the table follow.
Page 51
Note: 1. Users can also define the PDO COB-ID by themselves. Actually, all COB-ID can be defined by users except the reserved COB-ID described in the table of the section 3.1. It is important to avoid the conflict with the defined COB-ID used in the same node.
Page 52
The PDO, including the DI value, will be sent when the DI value is changed. And both transmission types will directly trigger an update of the mapped data when receiving the RxPDO. 7.2.2.3 PDO Communication Rule The PDO related objects are indicated from index 0x1400 to 0x1BFF. For the PM-4324-CPS, RxPDO communication objects are not used.

Q1. Can we use the other 5A CT’s (like 600/5) to directly connect to the input current terminals of PM-4324 series? No, because the input current is only mA size on PM-4324 series,definitely not to directly use other 5A CT’s to connect and apply (like100/5…) ,It could causes the fetal damages.

(4) Confirm the RS-485 connection, make sure the D+/D- is right. (5) Confirm the RS-485 master have to provide the bias for PM-4324 series. Otherwise, the tM-SG4 or SG-785 should be added to provide the bias. All ICP DAS controllers and converters provide the bias.

The CT of PM-4324 maximum range is 400A. If the target is more than 400A, we suggest the solution as follow. For example the target is to measure maximum 800A current. We can measure big CT output and set a CT Ratio. Note: A.
Page 75
Q11. Can I use CT's that I currently own with PM-4324 Power Meter? You can use CT's that you currently own with PM-4324P (without CTs) Power Meter. The CT inputs of the PM-4324P can handle a maximum of 333mV of AC current. PM-4324P's current ratio is always full scale to 5A.

The voltage [V_x] register in Modbus register table can be used to show line-to-ground voltage or line-to-line voltage value by setting [Display Voltage] register value. According to different wiring types, it is required to set different [Display Voltage] value. If the voltage is not displayed as expected value, please refer to the table below and check if the setting value is set accurately.
