    1.0 - INTRODUCTION This document details the serial communications protocol used to pass commands, information and data between the model 3710 ACM Power Meter and the Allen-Bradley line of programmable logic controllers (PLC) and communication interface products. This document provides the information necessary for a 3rd party OEM to develop in-house software to communicate with the model 3710 ACM Power Meter.
  • Page 9: Communications Protocol Revisions

    1.2 - COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL REVISIONS This section details the changes made to each new version of the Serial Communications Protocol Document. Ver. 1.0 - Initial draft of the Serial Communications Protocol Document (Released 89/12/19). Ver. 2.0 - Corrected delta mode line-to-line average voltage from incorrect line-to-neutral average voltage readings in Short Real-Time Data Packet.
  • Page 10: Detailed Description Of The Communications Protocol

    This protocol uses a command / reply message packet format in which the Allen-Bradley PLC transmits a command type packet to the 3710 ACM Power Meter and the 3710 ACM answers the PLC with a reply type packet. This protocol uses two of the Allen-Bradley Message Packet Formats from the PLC-2 or Basic Command Set: Unprotected Read and Unprotected Write.
  • Page 11: Hardware Configuration

    2.2 - HARDWARE CONFIGURATION The following section describes the hardware configuration required to connect a single 3710 ACM Power Meter or up to 32 3710 ACM Power Meters to a single Allen-Bradley PLC through several different Allen-Bradley Communications Interface Modules.

  • Page 14 3710 while Unprotected Write delivers data to the 3710 ACM. The commands are only sent from the PLC and the replies are only sent from the 3710 ACM. THE STATUS SUB-FIELD (1 Byte) This byte indicates the status of the message transmission.
  • Page 15 Bradley PLC and the 3710 ACM Power Meter. Packet Data Structure In general, most data values sent to and from a model 3710 ACM consist of a 4 byte value. Each 4 byte value can be treated as two WORDS, a LOW ORDER WORD and a HIGH ORDER WORD.
  • Page 16 3710 ACM. The low order byte contain the even valued 3710 ACM unit address or unit id in which the PLC can uniquely identify the meter. These two bytes form the Message Type Address found later in this document.
  • Page 17 Data Link Escape (DLE) SUB-FIELD and the End of Text (ETX) SUB-FIELD. These two bytes are used by the Data Link Layer of Allen-Bradley Communication Interface and the 3710 ACM Power Meter only. THE DATA LINK ESCAPE (DLE) SUB-FIELD (1 Byte) This sub-field contains a single byte control character used to indicate the end of a message packet.
  • Page 18: Broadcast Packets

    is equivalent to the Block Check Character (BCC) used by Allen-Bradley Communication Products. 2.4 - BROADCAST PACKETS Provisions have been made for the use of broadcast commands within the RS-485 data transfer protocol. The purpose of this is to allow all Slave devices to receive the same command from the Master station.
  • Page 19: 3710 Acm Timing Considerations

    2.6 - 3710 ACM TIMING CONSIDERATIONS The 3710 ACM requires a 100 millisecond dead space between the end of any response packet on the RS-485 loop and the start of a new command packet sent by the Master PLC. Sequential transmissions from the Master PLC to the 3710 ACM meters must be 100 milliseconds apart (ie: 100 millisecond dead space).

    3710 ACM Power Meter. Command packets sent to the 3710 ACM from the Allen-Bradley PLC and reply packets sent from the PLC to the 3710 ACM are divided into three categories according to their function: The packets listed in the first category are used to configure and set-up the 3710 ACM Power Meter prior to operation.
