Modular Power Meter 1. Purpose This document describes the use and the functional specifications of the modular power meter sensors. This is identified by Project-ID PJ201. 2. Intended Audience The intended audience is generally anybody who wants to measure power distribution systems.
Modular Power Meter 4. Safety Regulations 4.1. Warning, caution and notes Warnings, cautions and notes within this manual will be used as follows: WARNING: Used to denote a danger to personnel of serious injury and/or death. The warning will be preceded by the caption WARNING and the detail of any warning will be in bold and uppercase.
In other words, for up to 15 3-phase+N outgoing power lines, it is possible to measure the voltage, current and power for the 3 phases and the voltage & current in the Neutral. To accomplish this, the Volt1000 meter samples the voltage and sends the samples to the Cube1000AN/RoCo2000AN meters on the cascade bus. Each Cube1000AN/RoCo2000AN meter uses these samples to calculate the power components.

PC program ModbusLink, see chapter 7); writing the upgrade with our proprietary protocol over MODBUS; In a chain, the Volt1000 or first current meter can forward its upgrade to the attached Cube1000AN/RoCo2000AN/Spark5A meters. This has to be initiated via the display.
The first sensor is the only one that is directly connected to the modbus. It acts as a router for the chained Cube1000AN/RoCo2000AN meters so all meters can be reached from the modbus. Example A Volt1000 meter with address 10 has 3 Cube1000/RoCo2000 meters attached to it. The bus addresses are: Volt1000: 10 first Cube1000/RoCo2000: 11...

Table 6-11 Modbus command registers 6.3.8. Energy table – Integers The Volt1000 sensor counts the energy for every input of every current sensor (4 inputs per sensor). There are 4 counters for every input: consumed real energy injected real energy positive reactive energy negative reactive energy.
Page 31
Modular Power Meter All counters are available per input (labeled “Exxx”) and per sensor (labeled “ESxxx”). The values per sensor add together the values for the 4 inputs for that sensor.

The new baudrate and address settings are saved immediately in the sensor permanent memory. If, and only if, the Volt1000 sensor is the only one on the MODBUS-bus, then you can use 0 (zero) as a special serial number, that is always accepted.
Modular Power Meter Byte Value Description 0..17 This is an 18-bytes password, if this password is correct then the MOBUS address is neglected. It’s a good idea to use the new modbus address already in the packet. Baudrate communication settings 0=4800 1=9600 2=19200...

Modular Power Meter 7. ModbusLink ModbusLink is a PC program that can be used to control the sensors. A USB-RS485 cable is required to connect to the sensors. The program has a user interface at the top and an information window below. This includes an option to show all modbus communication. There are 3 main functions: Read registers: Either read a selected number of registers starting at a selected address or use a command file to initiate multiple read operations.
