PZ series programmable

ammeters & voltmeters

1 General
PZ series ammeters and voltmeters are programmable and intelligent, which adopt
AC sampling technology, and can measure current and voltage directly. They can be used
for local display, and also can be connected with the industrial control equipment to form
the measurement and control system.
It can be equipped with RS485 communication interface under Modbus-RTU
protocol;Electric signals can be converted to the standard analog output ;
it can be with 1 channel alarm or 4(2) channels DI/2 channels DO. According to
different request,meter’s parameters can be set by keys on its panel.

7、communication protocol
7.1General
PZ Series meter adopt Modbus-RTU protocol:”9600, 8, n, 1”, in it 9600 is default baud
rate; Based on request, it can be revised as 2400,4800,19200 etc. 8 indicate 8 data bits; n
indicate no parity bit;1 indicate 1 stop bit.
Error detecting: CRC16 (cyclic redundancy checks)
7.2 Protocol
When data frame reach terminal device, it enter addressed device by a simple "port".
The device remove data frame "envelope"(data head), and read data, if there is no error,
executing task requested by data, then, add the new produced data in the obtained
"envelope", return the data frame to the transmitter. Returned responding data include
following content: slave terminal address (Address), executed command (Function),
requested data produced by executing command (Data) and one CRC check code
(Check). If any error occurs, no successful responding or returning one error indication
frames.

7.2.1 Data frame format

Address Function Data Check

8-Bits 8-Bits N×8-Bits 16-Bits

7.2.2 Address (Address) domain

The address domain is at the front of the frame, composed of one byte (8-Bits，8 bit
binary code), decimal scale is 0～255, in our system, only 1～247 is used, other address
is reserved. These bits indicate the terminal unit address specified by users，this unit will
accept host computer data connected with it. Every terminal unit address in the same
Fieldbus must be one and only, only the addressed terminal can respond the query
including this address. When the terminal is sending one responding, the slave machine
address data in this responding can tell host computer which terminal unit is
communicating with it.

7.2.3 Function domain

The function domain code tells the addressed terminal which function shall be executed.
The function code and its meaning and function in this Series meters are listed below:
Code(hex) Meaning Operation
Obtain current binary system value of one or
03H Read holding register
multiple holding register
Set actual binary system value into a series of
10H Preset multiple register
continuous holding register

7.2.4 Data domain

The data domain includes: the needed data for terminal to execute specified function or
the collected data when terminal respond the query. These data may be value，parameter
address or setting.
Example：Function domain tell terminal unit to read one register, data domain must specify:
The reading is starting from which register and how many data is needed. For the
embedded address and data, the content depends on the different type and different slave
machine.
7.2.5 Error check domain

This domain adopts CRC16 cyclic redundancy check, for host computer and terminal,
the error in checking and transmitting is allowable. Due to electric noise and other
interfere, when one group of data is transmitting from one device to another device, on the
transmitting line, some change may be produced. The error check can enable the host
computer or slave computer not responding those changed data, so, safety, reliability and
efficiency of system are upgraded.
