DCM6 Series User Manual V1.2 The charging summary status displayed is basically a summary of the charging process that was just executed. All instrument values required for the complete billing process should be displayed to the customer. So for DCM6-650/-200 series,during the charging process, there is only one difference between the normal display interface and the uncharged interface.
DCM6 Series User Manual V1.2 Configure historical data: In the electricity history data interface, short press the ENTER button to enter the configuration history data screen. Configure historical data to query up to 99 entries. First line: Configuration data page number Second line: The time when the historical data occurred.

MODBUS Protocol functions used by the Eastron Digital meters copy 16 bit register values between master and slaves. However, the data used by the Eastron Digital meter is in 32 bit IEEE 754 floating point format. Thus each instrument parameter is conceptually held in two adjacent MODBUS Protocol registers. Query The following example illustrates a request for a single floating point parameter i.e.

DCM6 Series User Manual V1.2 Error Check (Hi): The top (most significant) eight bits of a 16-bit number representing the error check value. Response The example illustrates the normal response to a request for a single floating point parameter i.e. two 16-bit Modbus Protocol Registers.
DCM6 Series User Manual V1.2 No. of registers =0002 Amps 2 Start address=0008 No. of registers=0002 Each request for data must be restricted to 40 parameters or less. Exceeding the 40 parameter limit will cause a Modbus Protocol exception code to be returned.
