1234567 Unit1 39321.60 Unit2 13110.2 Unit3 ■A1 ■A21/3

Shows the value of the first three variables enabled, in expanded view mode. This mode, which can only be enabled when viewing 3 or 4 variables per page, displays the values of the variables with a larger character than that normally used for this representation, without viewing the description of the variables and only leaving the unit of measurement. This mode is enabled by setting the description of the relative variables as a sequence of spaces (zero description).

VARIABLE 1 NAME VALUE->0 Unit1 VARIABLE 2 NAME VALUE->0 Unit2 ■ A1 ■ A2 1/4

Shows the value of a variable by means of alphanumeric strings instead of the corresponding numerical value. This is possible for variable values between 0 and 4. A text string 8 characters long can be set for each of these values. For values lower than 0 and higher than 4, the variable is displayed in the traditional numerical format.

VARIABLE 1 NAME Unit1 VARIABLE 2 NAME Unit2 □ A1 □ A2 1/4

Represents the typical display of variables in offline mode. If the MA964802 display cannot establish the connection with the slave of the variable, and therefore cannot read/write the relative value, the numerical display is replaced by flashing question marks.

8 Functions of the instrument

8.1 Displaying the variables

8.8.c Digital input alarm ("Digital input 1..3" selection)

Alarm relating to digital input: the relay is activated with the digital input enabled.

8.8.d Communication alarm ("Serial error") selection

Alarm related to an error (offline) of the COM1 serial port. The relay is activated when at least one variable exchanged on COM1 is OFF-LINE.

8.8.e Remote control alarm ("Remote ctrl" selection)

The relay is activated by writing 1 on Modbus 906 word for alarm 1 and Modbus 907 word for alarm 2. Writing 0 deactivates the relay.

9 COM1 serial port in Multimaster mode

The MA964802 device, aside from implementing standard Modbus master protocol, also implements a variant called Multimaster. This mode makes it possible to connect, aside from the various Modbus slave devices, up to 16 Pixsys Modbus multimaster devices on the RS485 serial network. This means that it will be possible to implement reading and writing of slave data from several MA964802 devices located at various points of the system.

A maximum of 16 MA964802 devices can be connected on the same network in multimaster mode. The slave devices connected to a network with devices in multimaster mode can have addresses from 1 to 238.

To configure the network of the multimaster system and to make it as efficient as possible, it is recommended to number the MA964802 devices starting from the address 254 (for the first multimaster device) and to descend to the address 239 (for the 16th and last multimaster device).

10 COM2 Serial Communication

MA964802 has the COM2 serial port (RS485) on which the Modbus R slave protocol is active. This makes it possible to connect the device to a supervision system or, more in general, to a Modbus RTU master device. Each instrument will respond to an interrogation by the Master only if it has the same address as that in the parameterCOM2 serial port -> Slave address. The addresses allowed go from 1 to 254 and there must not be devices with the same address on the same line. The address 255 can be used by the master to communicate with any

appliance connected, regardless of its address, while with the address 0 all the devices receive the command, but no response is expected (broadcast mode). MA964802 can introduce a delay (in milliseconds) before the response to the master's request. This delay must be set in the parameter COM2 serial port -> Response delay.

For the complete list of COM2 serial port parameters, see section "COM2 serial port" in the chapter "Configuration parameters table".

NB: By means of the COM2 serial port it is also possible to edit the instrument's configuration parameters; therefore pay attention that e very time parameters are changed, the instrument saves the values in the EEPROM memory (100000 writing cycles). This means that continuous texts with parameter values which always change, after exceeding the allowed number of writing cycles, can damage the EEPROM memory.

10.1 Notes to access parameters

Access: Datas accessible through Modbus protocol that refer to 32 bit parameters or datas (2 words), must be 32 bit datas modified by the writing of two consecutive Modbus addresses (first the lowest and than the highest address). It is not enough to write only a word, even if the other one should remain unchanged.

The alphanumeric strings are stored into the relevant parameters, using the ascii codes of the used characters.

Each parameter (32 bit) contains 4 characters (each character 8 bit), to store strings with more than 4 characters, more consecutive parameters are used depending on the number of used characters, according to the following scheme:

Stored string "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP"

Parameter Number Parameter Value String

This function is useful to activate writing of a variable on the slave device, only when it is "selected" by the value generated by the position of the potentiometer. The values to select the variables range from 1 (variable 1 selection) to 8 (variable 8 selection). These values must therefore be entered respectively in the Minimum value and Maximum value parameters, and then the acquisition procedure must be carried out.
