2.1 Mounting the Meter
General
This section describes different ways to mount the A43/A44 meters. For some methods of mounting additional accessories are needed. For further information about accessories, refer to the Main Catalog (2CMC480001C0201).
DIN-rail mounted
The A43/A44 meters are intended to be mounted on a DIN-rail (DIN 50022). If this method of mounting is used no extra accessories are needed and the meter is fastened by snapping the DIN-rail lock onto the rail.
DIN-rail
The following picture shows a DIN-rail.

The recommended way to mount the meter on a wall is to mount a separate DIN-rail on the wall and then mount the meter on the rail.
Flush mounted
To flush-mount the meter a flush-mount kit should be used.
Flush-mount kit The following picture shows a flush-mount kit.

Ingress protection
IP 20 on terminal block without protective enclosure and IP 51 in protective enclosure, according to IEC 60529.
Mechanical environment
In accordance with the Measuring Directive (2014/32/UE), the product complies with M2, which means that it can be operated in “...locations with significant or high levels of vibration and shock, e.g. transmitted from machines and passing vehicles in the vicinity or adjacent to heavy machines, conveyor belts, etc.”
Electromagnetic environment
In accordance with the Measuring Directive (2014/32/UE), the product complies with E2, which means that it can be operated “...in locations with electromagnetic disturbances corresponding to those likely to be found in other industrial buildings.”
Climatic environment
In order to work properly the product should not be operated outside the specified temperature range of -40^ - +70^ .
In order to work properly the product should not exposed to humidity exceeding the specified 75% yearly average, 95% on 30 days/year.
The product is made for indoor use only.
2.3 Installing the Meter

Warning – Electrical equipment should only be installed, accessed, serviced and maintained by qualified electrical personnel.
Working with high voltage is potentially lethal. Persons subjected to high voltage may suffer cardiac arrest, burn injuries, or other severe injuries. To avoid such injuries, make sure to disconnect the power supply before you start the installation.

Warning – For safety reasons it is recommended that the equipment is installed in a way that makes it impossible to reach or touch the terminal blocks by accident.
The best way to make a safe installation is to install the unit in an enclosure. Further, access to the equipment should be limited through use of lock and key, controlled by qualified electrical personnel.

Warning – The meters must always be protected by fuses on the incoming side.
In order to allow for maintenance of transformer rated meters, it is recommended that there should be a short circuiting device installed near the meter. Alternatively a CT with short circuiting terminals is used to short circuiting the secondary current during maintenance. The reason for short circuit the secondary current during maintenance is that a very high voltage will be induced across the terminals if current is flowing through the CT primary and any secondary terminal is disconnected. This high voltage can be potentially lethal and can damage the CT or other equipment.
Utilization category
IEC 62052-31
A43: Utilization Category UC2
A44: Utilization Category UC1

Cable type
Cable type connected to the voltage/current terminals shall be solid or stranded copper cable. When using stranded cable end ferrules can be used.
Install the meter
Follow the steps in the table below to install and verify the installation of the meter:
| Step | Action |
| 1 | Switch off the mains power. |
| 2 | Place the meter on the DIN-rail and make sure it snaps onto it. |
| 3 | Strip the cable insulation to the length that is indicated on the meter. |
| 4 | Connect the cables according to the wiring diagram that is printed on the meter and tighten the screws (3.0 Nm for direct connected meters and 1.5 Nm for transformer connected meters). |
| 5 | Install the circuit protection. See table 2:1 below for the correct fuse. |
| 6 | If inputs/outputs are used, connect the cables according to the wiring diagram that is printed on the meter and tighten the screws (0.25 Nm). Then connect to an external power supply (max 240V). |
| 7 | If communication is used, connect the cables according to the wiring diagram that is printed on the meter and tighten the screws (0.25 Nm). |
| Verify the installation | |
| 8 | Check that the meter is connected to the specified voltage and that voltage phase connections and the neutral (if used) are connected to the correct terminals. |
| 9 | For a transformer connected meter, check that the current direction of the primary and secondary current of the external transformers is correct. Also check that the transformers are connected to the correct meter terminals. |
| 10 | Switch on the power. If a warning symbol is displayed, refer to the error codes in Troubleshooting. |
| 11 | Under the menu item "Instantaneous Values" on the meter, check that the voltages, currents, power and power factors are reasonable and that the power direction is what to be expected (the total power should be positive for a load that consumes energy). When doing the check the meter should be connected to the intended load, preferably a load with a current above zero on all phases to make the check as complete as possible. |
Circuit protection Use the information in this table to select the correct fuse for the circuit protection.
Table: 2:1
| Meter type | Max circuit protection |
| Direct connected | 80 A MCB, C characteristic or 80 A fuse type gL-gG |
| Transformer connected | 10 A MCB, B characteristic or Diazed, fast. |

5.1 Energy Values
General
The energy values are stored in energy registers. The different energy registers can be divided into:
- Registers containing active, reactive or apparent energy
- Registers containing imported or exported energy.
- Registers containing net energy
- Registers containing different tariffs
- Registers containing total energy and energy per phase
- Resettable registers (possible to set to zero via buttons or communication command)
- Registers containing momentary or historical value
The energy values can be read via communication or directly in the display with the help of the buttons.
Energy calculation method
Import energy registers increments when the power is positive and export energy registers increments when power is negative. All import and export registers are positive (or zero) and will either increment or stand still.
Net energy registers contains the import minus the export register for corresponding registers and can be positive or negative. Note that meters of steel type (type designation A43/A44 1xx-xxx) only contain import registers.
The ABB EQ meters use the vector registration method for computation of energy. In the vector registration method the instantaneous energy consumption of the measuring elements (the three phases in 3-phase 4-wire metering) is summed up to the total register. If the sum is positive the import register is incremented and if the sum is negative the export register is incremented. Say for example that the power in the three phases are L1: +1 kW, L2: -1 kW and L3: +1 kW. The total power will then be 1 - 1 + 1 = 1 kW and the total import register will increase at a rate of 1 kWh each hour and the total export register will stand still. If the power in the three phases instead are L1: +1 kW, L2: -1 kW and L3: -1 kW the total power will be 1 - 1 - 1 = -1 kW and the total export register will increase with the rate of 1 kWh each hour and the total import register will stand still.
Note that if a 3-phase load with neutral have connections between the phases that have a power factor smaller than 0.5, that is constitute a mainly reactive load, the power in single phases can be negative even if the 3-phase load is consuming energy. The total power and energy will however always be positive for a 3-phase load that is consuming energy.
Note also that the sum of the per phase registers will be bigger than the total register if the power in the phases contains a mix of both positive and negative power. In applications where the load is a 3-phase load the total registers should always be used for billing
The per phase energy registers works as separate single phase meters for its respective phase and the import registers will increment when the power is positive, and the export registers will increment when the power is negative. The per phase registers should only be used for billing in applications where the loads are pure single phase loads.
Primary value In transformer connected meters with external current transformers, and
sometimes also external voltage transformers, the total transformer ratio is taken into account for all energy registers, that is all energy registers store primary values.
Presentation of register values
In direct connected meters the energy is usually displayed with 7 digits in kWh/kvarh/KVAh with two decimals and displays one decimal less at overflow, that is it changes to one decimal at 100000.0 kWh and to no decimals at 1000000 kWh.
In transformer connected meters where primary values are displayed, the energy values can be rather big when the total transformer ratio is big. Normally the meter automatically adapts the unit and number of decimals displayed to the value.
In case the energy is displayed with fixed units and number of decimals the energy will "roll over" to zeros when the energy is incremented if all nines are displayed. The meter can however contain more digits internally, which can be read out via communication if the meter is equipped with a communication interface. See the example below where the value 2483756 is displayed, while the internal register contains 192483756.6.

The accuracy of all instrumentation data except the frequency and voltage and current phase-angles is the same as the stated energy metering accuracy. The accuracy for the voltage and current phase-angles is 2 degrees and 0.5 % for the frequency.
5.3 Harmonics
General
The presence of harmonics in voltages and currents may cause a number of unwanted problems. This chapter describes the origin of harmonics, how the negative effects of harmonics can be eliminated and how harmonics is measured.
The harmonics data can be read via communication or directly in the display with the help of the buttons.
Generation of harmonics
Generators in the power system produce a nearly pure sinusoidal voltage with a frequency near the stated system frequency, normally 50 or 60 Hz. Linear loads, consisting of pure resistors, capacitors and inductors, draw a pure sinusoidal current if the voltage over the load is pure sinusoidal.
A non-linear load, however, draws non-sinusoidal current resulting in a current consisting of several frequencies. One example of a common non-linear load are power supplies in electronic equipment which normally contains rectifier diodes which rectifies the incoming voltage and charges a capacitor. The power supply only draws current at the top of the sine wave when the rectified voltage exceeds the voltage over the capacitor. Another example of a non linear load is a thyristor controlled load, where the current normally is turned on at the voltage zero crossing and turned off sometimes during the sine wave.
These currents are all non-sinusoidal and can be divided into a fundamental part, which is the same as the mains frequency, and high frequency parts, that is harmonics, which have frequency that are integral multiples of the mains frequency.
Harmonics in the current will in turn cause harmonics in the voltage since the mains wires and the generator have an impedance causing a voltage drop that is proportional to the current. It should also be pointed out that if there is harmonics in the voltage, also a linear load will cause harmonics in the current, that have the same magnitude as the voltage harmonics. However, the origin of harmonics in the voltage are non-linear loads.
Negative effects of harmonics
The presence of harmonics in voltages and currents can cause a number of problems:
- Increased cable losses. At higher frequencies skin and proximity effects increases, resulting in increased losses.
• High current in the neutral wire. - Motor efficiency and product lifetime will decrease if the voltage contain harmonics.
- In transformers, harmonics will cause higher wire, hysteresis and eddy losses, which could result in efficiency losses up to 50%.
- Voltage harmonic can give higher peak voltages (higher crest factor), causing overvoltage protection devices to trip and in worst case destruction of devices.
- Voltage harmonic can result in decreased product lifetime and in worst case destruction of capacitor banks (used for power factor correction).
- Voltage harmonic can cause malfunction of devices controlled by the voltage, often zero crossings (voltage harmonics can give extra zero crossings).
- Voltage harmonics can produce disturbances within devices having its power supply connected to the mains causing problems.
Eliminating negative effects of harmonics
Because of the negative effects of harmonics it may be necessary to take actions to decrease the problems. This can be either done by decreasing the harmonics, and/or taking actions that decrease the negative effects of the harmonics.
Suggested actions
- Increase the size of the neutral conductor if the current is abnormally high due to harmonics.
• Install appropriate filters to isolate loads with high current harmonics. - Install filters to protect to protect loads that are sensitive to voltage harmonics.
- Oversize generators, motors and transformers to better cope with harmonics.
- Substitute equipment for equipment that generates less current harmonics and is less sensitive to voltage harmonics.
5.3.1 Measuring Harmonics
| General | To detect and eliminate the problems related to presence of harmonics, it's generally necessary to measure the harmonics. Meters that have harmonic measurement enabled measure harmonics on all voltages and currents up to the 16th harmonic and calculates the total harmonic distortion (THD). |
| Measuring | Measurement of the harmonics is done sequentially, one at a time, and approximately two harmonic numbers are measured every second.Each harmonic is calculated according to: I_n / I_f · 100% and the total current harmonic distortion for the harmonics measured is calculated according to: _n=2^16 I_n^2 / I_f · 100% where I_f is the fundamental current and I_n is the current for harmonics with number n.At each measurement the harmonic is set to 0 if the rms value of the current is below a certain lower limit (normally 5% of the basic current). |
| Folding distortion | Since the meter have limited sampling frequency, presence of harmonics over the 20:th harmonic (1 kHz at 50 Hz line frequency) will result in folding distortion and can affect the harmonic measurement accuracy negatively.Due to the possible presence of folding distortion and the fact that harmonics is measured sequentially, one at a time, it is recommended that the harmonic measurement results of the meter is used as a tool to detect presence of harmonics and not as an exact instrument to get exact results. |
| Frequency measurement | Measuring harmonics require a valid frequency measurement. If the frequency measurement is uncertain, the harmonic measurement will not be performed. To get a valid measurement the meter uses a retry scheme. If the retry scheme does not give a valid measurement the harmonic will be marked as "not available". |
Accuracy
The accuracy of the current harmonics varies with the harmonic amplitude and is valid only provided there is no harmonics above the 20th harmonic.
| Harmonic Number | 1% < Distortion ≤ 5% | 5% < Distortion ≤ 10% | 10% < Distortion ≤ 20% | 20% < Distortion ≤ 50% | 50% < Distortion ≤ 100% |

| 16 | ± 2.5% | ± 5.0% | ± 10% | ± 20% | ± 30% |
* For distortion levels below 1% the absolute uncertainty is ± 0.5%.
5.4 Alarm
General
The purpose of the alarm function is to enable monitoring of quantities in the meter. Monitoring can be set to high or low level detection. High level detection gives an alarm when the level of a quantity goes above the set level. Low level detection gives an alarm when the value goes below the set level.
It is possible to configure 25 alarms. Configuration can be done via communication or with the buttons directly on the meter.
Quantities
Depending on the meter type all or a subset of the following quantities can be monitored:
| Voltage L1 | Apparent power total |
| Voltage L2 | Apparent power L1 |
| Voltage L3 | Apparent power L2 |
| Voltage L1-L2 | Apparent power L3 |
| Voltage L2-L3 | Power factor total |
| Voltage L1-L3 | Power factor L1 |
| Current L1 | Power factor L2 |
| Current L2 | Power factor L3 |
| Current L3 | Harmonic voltage L1 |
| Current N | Harmonic voltage L2 |
| Active power total | Harmonic voltage L3 |
| Active power L1 | Harmonic voltage L1-L2 |
| Active power L2 | Harmonic voltage L2-L3 |
| Active power L3 | Harmonic voltage L1-L3 |
| Reactive power Total | Harmonic current L1 |
| Reactive power L1 | Harmonic current L2 |
| Reactive power L2 | Harmonic current L3 |
| Reactive power L3 | Harmonic current N |
Functional description
When the value of the monitored quantity passes the activation level, and remains there for a period of time equal or longer than the specified time delay, the alarm is activated. In the same way, the alarm is deactivated when the value passes the deactivation level and remains there for a time equal or longer than the specified time delay.
If the activation level is higher than the deactivation level, the alarm is activated when the value of the monitored quantity is higher than the activation level.
If the activation level is lower than the deactivation level, the alarm is activated when the value of the monitored quantity is lower than the activation level.
5.5 Inputs and Outputs
| General | Inputs/outputs are built with optocouplers and are galvanically isolated from other meter electronics. They are polarity independent and handle both DC and AC voltage.An input that is not connected equals having its voltage off.The equivalent circuitry of the outputs is an ideal relay in series with a resistor. |
| Functionality of inputs | The inputs count pulses, register activity and current status and the data can be read directly on the meter display or via communicationRegister activity can be reset via communication or via the buttons directly on the meter. |
| Functionality of outputs | The outputs can be controlled by communication, alarm or by the internal clock. |
5.5.1 Tariff Inputs
| Tariff control | On meters with tariff functionality, the tariffs are controlled either via communication, the internal clock or by 1 or 2 tariff inputs.Tariff control via inputs is done by applying a proper combination of "voltage" or "no voltage" to the input(s). Each combination of "voltage"/"no voltage" will result in that the meter will register the energy in a particular tariff register.In combined meters with both active and reactive metering, both quantities are controlled by the same inputs and the active tariff for active and reactive energy will always be the same. |
| Indication ofactive tariff | The active tariff is displayed on the LCD by the text "Tx" in the status field, where x is the tariff number. The active tariff can also be read via communication. |
Input coding, meters with 4 tariffs
The coding of the inputs is binary. The following table describes the default cod-ing.
| Input 4 | Input 3 | Tariff |
| OFF | OFF | = T1 |
| OFF | ON | = T2 |
| ON | OFF | = T3 |
| ON | ON | = T4 |
Input coding, meters with 2 tariffs
The coding of the inputs is binary. The following table describes the default cod-ing.
| Input 3 | Tariff |
| OFF | = T1 |
| ON | = T2 |
5.5.2 Pulse Outputs
About pulse outputs
Meters equipped with pulse outputs may have up to 4 outputs.
On the pulse outputs the meter sends out a specified number of pulses (pulse frequency) per kWh (kvarh for reactive pulse outputs).
The pulse outputs are primary, which means that the pulses are sent out in proportion to the true primary energy, taking current and voltage transformer ratios (CT and VT ratio) programmed on the meter into account.
For direct connected meters no external transformers are used and the amount of pulses sent out are in proportion to the energy flowed through the meter.
5.5.2.1 Pulse Frequency and Pulse length
General
Pulse frequency and pulse length can be set via the buttons on the meter or via communication. If the meter have more than 1 pulse output, all outputs will have the same pulse frequency and pulse length.
Pulse frequency
The pulse frequency is configurable and can be set to a value between 1-9999 impulses. The value must be an integer. The unit is selectable and may be set to imp/kWh, imp/Wh or imp/MWh.
Pulse length
The pulse length can be set to a value between 10-990 ms.
Deciding pulse frequency/length
If the power is too high for a certain pulse length and pulse frequency, there is a risk that the pulses may go into one another. If this happens the meter will emit a new pulse (relay closed) before the previous one has terminated (relay open) and the pulse will be missed. In worst case the relay may be closed at all times.
To avoid this problem a calculation should be made to work out the maximum pulse frequency allowed at a particular site based upon an estimated maximum power and the meter's pulse output data.
Formula
The formula to use for this calculation is:
Max pulse frequency = 1000*3600 / U / I / n / (Ppause + Plength)
where U and I is the estimated maximum element voltage (in volts) and current (in amperes), n the number of elements (1 - 3). Plength and Ppause are the pulse length and the required pulse pause (in seconds). A reasonable minimum pulse length and pulse pause is 30 ms which conforms to the S0 and IEC standard.

Note - U and I have to be the primary values in a transformer connected meter if the CT and VT for the external transformers are programmed into the meter.
Example 1
In a direct connected 3-element meter with estimated maximum voltage and current of 250 V and 65 A and pulse length 100 ms and required pulse pause 30 ms, the maximum allowed pulse frequency will be:
1000 * 3600 / 250 / 65 / 3 / (0.030 + 0.100)) = 568 impulses / kWh (kvarh)
Example 2
In a transformer connected 3-element meter with estimated maximum voltage and current of 63 × 100 V = 6300 V (VT ratio 100) and 6 × 50 A = 300 A (CT ratio 50) and pulse width 100 ms and required pulse pause 30 ms the maximum allowed pulse frequency will be:
1000 * 3600 / 6300 / 300 / 3 / (0.030 + 0.100) = 6.16 impulses / kWh (kvarh)
5.6 Internal Clock
| General | Meter with a built-in clock automatically keeps track of leap year and daylight savings time (DST). The use of DST is optional.Time is controlled by a quartz crystal real time clock. |
| Time and date | Time and date can be set via communication, or with the buttons directly on the meter. |
| Time dependant functions | Load profileMaximum demandMinimum demandPrevious valuesEvent logOutputs controlled by timeTariff control |
| Backup of clock | In case of power failure a super capacitor backs up the clock for at least 48 hours. |
5.7 Logs
General The meter contains a total of five different logs:
- System Log
- Event Log
- Net Quality Log
- Audit log
- Settings Log
Log events can be read via communication or directly in the display of the meter.
A maximum of 200 log events can be stored in the System Log, the Event Log and the Net Quality Log. When the maximum number of events for a log is reached, the oldest events will be overwritten.
A maximum of 40 log events can be stored in the Audit Log. When the maximum number of events for this log is reached, no more events can be stored. A new firmware upgrade attempt will be unsuccessful because no more log events can be stored.
A maximum of 80 log events can be stored in the Settings Log. When the maximum number of events for this log is reached, no more events can be stored. A new setting for either CT/VT or number of elements will not be accepted because no more log events can be stored.
It is possible to delete all entries in the System Log, The Event Log and the Net Quality Log via communication.

5.8 Demand
General

The demand functionality is used to measure and store the maximum and minimum demands of different quantities in the meter. Time is divided into intervals of a certain length in which the mean values of a set of selected quantities are measured.
Demand can be configured via Modbus and EQ-bus communication or via the buttons on the meter.
Note – Before any demand values can be stored, time/date must be set.
Changing time/date will store the current period and start a new one.
If a power fail occurs that lasts over the end of an ongoing period, the period will be stored when the meter powers up again and a new period will start. If date/time is not set when the meter powers up again, demand will enter a waiting state until time/date is set.
Interval length
The interval lengths for demand can be one of the following: 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 minutes.
Storing periods
When the last interval of an ongoing period has finished, the maximum and/or minimum values are stored and a new period starts.
The length of a demand period can be a day, a week or a month.
Demand has 50 channels which can be configured individually. Each channel can store up to 200 periods. A stored period contains the demand value, the date/time of the period and the date/time of the interval when the demand value was measured. All channels use the same interval, subinterval and period length. Individ-ual channel parameters are type of demand which have the four choices maxi-mum, minimum, maximum sliding or minimum sliding and the number of the demand with the three choices first, second or third (max/min).
The period/interval date and time is stored as end of period/interval. For instance, if a period starts 2010.01.01 00:00.00 and ends 2010.01.02 00:00.00, then the stored period will be 2010.01.02 00:00.00.
If there is no free memory space available, the oldest period will be erased to make room for the most recent one.
Stored periods can be read via communication or directly on the display.
An ongoing period can be ended and a new one started by sending a “freeze demand” via communication.
It is also possible to erase all stored periods by sending a “Reset Demand” com-mand via communication.
If the time is set backward within an interval the calculation of demand for that interval is restarted if the channel is configured to store a maximum value (as the
actual time for that interval will be longer than the interval time which could result in a too big demand value). For the same reason the calculation of demand for an interval is restarted if the channel is configured to store a minimum value and the time is set forward within the interval or into another interval.
Demand values Each demand quantity is individually configurable to store up to the three highest or lowest demand values, where each value use one demand channel configured to use first, second and third maximum/minimum. If demand is configured to store only one maximum interval, then only the interval with the maximum peak will be recorded. If a demand quantity is configured to store three maximum intervals the intervals with the three highest peaks are recorded.
Sliding demand A demand channel can also be configured as maximum sliding demand or mini-mum sliding demand. A sub-interval time is set which divides the interval into a circular array with a new mean value calculated at the end of every sub-interval. The selectable sub-interval times for demand is a subset of the interval times and evenly divisible with the selected interval time.
Selectable quantities
Depending on the meter type all or a subset of the following quantities can be selected.
| ACTIVE POWER IMPORT TOTAL | HARMONIC VOLTAGE L1 |
| ACTIVE POWER IMPORT L1 | HARMONIC VOLTAGE L2 |
| ACTIVE POWER IMPORT L2 | HARMONIC VOLTAGE L3 |

| VOLTAGE L1 | |
| VOLTAGE L2 | |
| VOLTAGE L3 | |
| VOLTAGE L1-L2 | |
| VOLTAGE L2-L3 | |
| VOLTAGE L1-L3 |
The value is the mean value of the interval. The unit for the pulse input counters are pulses per hour (for example if 2 pulses were registered in a 15 minute interval the value for the interval will be 8 pulses per hour)
5.9 Previous Values
General
At the end of a defined period, up to 50 configurable channels, which can contain energy register values, input counter values and currency/ CO_2 values, are stored together with the time/date for the end of the period.
Previous values can be configured via Modbus and EQ-bus communication or via the buttons on the meter.

Note – Before any previous values can be stored, time/date must be set.
Changing time/date into another period than the pending period will store the current period and start a new one.
If a power fail occurs that lasts over the end of an ongoing period, the period will be stored when the meter powers up again and a new period will start. If the meter have lost time and date/time is not set when the meter powers up again, previous values will enter a waiting state until time/date is set.
Storing periods
Previous values has 50 channels which can be configured individually via communication. Each channel can store up to 200 periods.
The period length can be a day, a week or a month and can be configured via Modbus and EQ-bus communication or via the buttons on the meter.
The period date and time is stored as end of period. For instance, if a period starts 2010.01.01 00:00.00 and ends 2010.01.02 00:00.00, then the stored period will be 2010.01.02 00:00.00.
Stored periods can be read via communication or directly on the display.
If there is no free memory space available, the oldest period will be erased to make room for the most recent one.
It is possible to erase all stored periods by sending a “Reset Previous Values” command via communication.

5.10 Load Profile
| General | Load profile is a collection of 8 channels that can store register values for register quantities or interval averages for instrumentation quantities. Through Modbus and EQ-bus communication each channel can be assigned one register or instrumentation quantity, a time interval and a maximum amount of snapshots to be stored in the channel.Interval length per channel can also be configured via the buttons on the meter.The load profiles can be read via communication or directly on the display.The stored register values in a channel are read as a list of register snapshots and for instrumentation values as a list of interval averages.Note – Before any load profiles can be stored, time/date must be set.If a power failure occurs that lasts over the end of an interval, the value will be stored when the meter powers up again only if time/date are still correct. |
| Intervals | The interval lengths for Load Profiles can be one of the following: 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 360, 480, 720 or 1440 minutes.If the interval is evenly divisible with an hour, the start of each hour will mark the start of a new interval. If the interval is evenly divisible with a day, the start of a day will mark the start of a new interval.The interval date and time is stored as end of interval. For instance, if an interval starts 2010.01.01 00:00.00 and ends 2010.01.01 00:15.00, then the stored period will be 2010.01.01 00:15.00. |
| Example 1 | Interval is set to 120 minutes, current time 12:13. Evenly divisible with a day. The next interval end/start times will be: 14:00, 16:00, 18:00, 20:00, 22:00, 00:00, etc,... |
| Example 2 | Interval is set to 15 minutes, current time 12:13. Evenly divisible with an hour. The next interval end/start times will be: 12:15, 12:30, 12:45, 13:00, 13.15, 13.30 etc,... |
| Channels and snapshots | Each channel has its own interval configuration. That means that snapshots in one channel can be stored with a different interval than snapshots in another channel. Each channel can be assigned a number of snapshots. A total of 40 000 snapshots can be stored in a load profile. All channels in a load profile share the same memory area, which means that one channel can store 40 000 snapshots if no other |
channel is used. By default the meter has all 8 channels activated with 5000 snapshots assigned to each.
If there is no free memory space available, the oldest snapshot will be erased to make room for the most recent one.
It is possible to erase all snapshots in all channels by sending a “Reset Load profile” command via communication. Via Modbus and EQ-bus communication it is also possible to erase all snapshots in a particular channel.
Load profile data
Each load profile data value is associated with a status value. The status value gives information such as:
- Interval is longer or shorter than defined length
• Power outage occurred during interval - Overflow in data
• Time was changed during interval - Data not available
- Error in data

Overview
This chapter contains information about measurement theory and the most commonly used measurement methods. The information can be used to better understand the meter behavior and/or to pick the correct measurement method.
In this chapter
The following topics are covered in this chapter:

7.1 Measuring Energy 83
7.1.1 Single Phase, 1-Element Metering....86
7.1.2 3-Phase, 2-Element Metering ....88
7.1.3 3-Phase, 3-Element Metering .....90
7.1 Measuring Energy
Active energy
It is easy to understand the need for a utility to measure active energy, since the information is necessary to bill the customer correctly. Usually the more energy the customer consumes the higher the accuracy of the meter needs to be. Normally 4 accuracy classes are used: 2%- (small consumers, e.g. households), 1%-, 0.5%-and 0.2%-meters with defined power levels for each class.
Also from a customer point of view it is easy to understand the need to measure the active energy as it can give him information about where and when energy is consumed. This information can then be used to take measures to decrease the consumption.
In many cases it is desired to simplify the measurement. In such cases simplified methods can be used of which the most common are described in this chapter. These methods most often require a balanced load, which means that the imped-ance is the same in all phases giving the same current amplitude and power factor in all phases.

Note - It should be mentioned that even if the load is perfectly balanced the accuracy will be decreased if the incoming voltages are not the same on all phases.
Reactive energy
Sometimes there is also a need to measure the reactive energy. Consumer equipment often introduces a phase shift between current and voltage due to the fact that the load has a more or less reactive component, e.g. motors that have an inductive component, etc. A reactive load will increase the current which means that the power source generator and the size of the power lines have to increase which in turn means higher cost for the utility. A higher current also means that the line losses increase.
Because of that, the maximum permissible phase shift is sometimes governed in the terms of the contract that the consumer have with the power supplier. If the consumer exceeds a specified maximum reactive load, he will be liable for an extra charge. This type of contract will require a utility meter that measures reactive energy and/or power.
Also, from the customer's point of view, it may be of some interest to measure reactive energy/power since it gives him knowledge about the nature of the load. That is, how big the different loads are and how they vary over time. This knowl-edge can be used in the planning how to decrease the reactive power/energy to decrease the electricity bill.
Resistive, inductive and capacitive loads
Resistive loads don't give rise to any phase shifts. Inductive loads have phase shift in one direction with the current lagging the voltage, while capacitive loads produces a phase shift in the opposite direction with the current leading the voltage. As a result, inductive and capacitive loads can be used to compensate each other
Illustration
The following illustration shows a vector diagram for resistive, inductive and capacitive loads:

Phase displacement
A load that consumes both reactive and active energy can be divided into active and reactive components. The angle between the apparent power (U*I) vector and the active power component is described as phase displacement angle or power factor angle.
Illustration
The following illustration shows a vector diagram for a load with an active and a reactive component:
| Active power = P = U x I x cos φ (unit W) |
| Reactive power = Q = U x I x sin φ (unit var) |
| Apparent power = S = U x I (unit VA) |
![]() |
The 4 power quadrants
The type of load can be represented geometrically by for quadrants. In the first quadrant the load is inductive and active and energy is imported (energy is delivered from the utility to the customer). In the second quadrant the load is capacitive and active energy is exported and reactive energy is imported. In the third quadrant the load is inductive and active and reactive energy is exported. In the last quadrant the load is capacitive and active energy is imported and reactive energy exported.
Illustration
The type of load can be represented geometrically by 4 power quadrants, see figure below.

7.1.1 Single Phase, 1-Element Metering
1-element metering in a 2-wire system
In a 2 -wire installation a single phase meter is used. Normally the 2 wires are a phase voltage and the neutral.
The active energy consumed by the load is the product of momentary voltage and current integrated over the desired measuring time period.
Calculating active power
In the case where no harmonics is present and the rms value of the voltage and current is constant, the active power can be expressed as:
$$ \mathrm{P} = \mathrm{U} _ {\text { rms }} ^ {} \mathrm{I} _ {\text { rms }} ^ {} \cos \varphi $$
Where is the phase angle between the voltage and the current.
Illustration
The following illustration shows a direct connected single phase meter measuring the active energy (E) consumed by a load.

1-element metering in a 4-wire system
In 4-wire system the single element metering method only gives correct results in a balanced system (same voltage, current and power factor in all phases). This method should not be used for accurate measurement, but can be used when high accuracy is not needed.
Illustration
The following illustration shows single phase metering in a 3-phase system.

7.1.2 3-Phase, 2-Element Metering
2-element metering in a 3-wire system
The 2-element metering method is used in systems with 3 wires, normally a 3-phase system that does not have a neutral conductor. A 2-element meter can be used irrespectively of the load being balanced or not.
In a 2-element meter the L2 voltage is used as the voltage reference and the volt-age difference between that voltage and the L1 and L3 voltage are measured and multiplied by its respective current. The active energy consumed by the load is the product of momentary voltages U1-U2 and U3-U2 and the currents I1 and I3 integrated over the desired measuring time period.
Illustration
The following diagram shows a 2-element meter measuring the active energy (E) consumed by a load.

L3 -->|I3| Meter
Meter --> Load
E[" E = ∫((U1(t) - U2(t)) • I1(t) + (U3(t) - U2(t)) • I3(t)) • dt "]
Calculating total active power
If no harmonics is present and the rms values of the voltages and currents are constant, the total active power can be expressed as:
$$ \mathrm{Ptot} = \mathrm{P1} + \mathrm{P3} = (\mathrm{U1-U2}) \times \mathrm{I1} \times \cos \varphi 1 2 + (\mathrm{U3-U2}) \times \mathrm{I3} \times \cos \varphi 3 2 $$
where 12 is the phase angle between the (U1-U2) voltage and the I1 current and 32 is the phase angle between the (U3-U2) voltage and the I3 current.
Illustration
The vector diagram below shows the vectors for the phase voltages (U1, U2, U3), the phase currents (I1, I2, I3) and the element voltages (U1-U2, U3-U2) for a pure resistive load where the phase currents are in phase with its respective phase voltages.

2-element metering in a 4-wire system
2-element metering can also be used in a 4-wire system if the current in the neutral connection is zero. Applying this method in a system having a non-zero neutral current will decrease the accuracy, but can sometimes be justified if the current is small compared to the line currents or if high accuracy is not required.
It is also possible to use this method for measuring one current only. This method will only give correct result in a balanced system. Note that the current flows backwards through phase 1 and 3 and that the phase voltages not are connected to the normal inputs when the current transformer is connected to phase 1 and 3.
Illustration
The diagrams below shows 2-element measurements with only 1 current transformer. This method will only give correct result in a balanced system. Note that the current flows backwards through phase 1 and 3 and that the phase voltages not are connected to the normal inputs when the current transformer is connected to phase 1 and 3.



7.1.3 3-Phase, 3-Element Metering
3-element metering in a 4-wire system
This method is normally used in three phase systems that have a neutral conduc-tor.
In a 3-element meter the neutral voltage is used as the voltage reference and the voltage difference between the neutral voltage and the L1, L2 and L3 voltages are measured and multiplied by its respective current. The active energy consumed
by the load is the product of momentary voltages U1, U2 and U3 and the currents I1, I2 and I3 integrated over the desired measuring time period.
Illustration
The picture below shows a direct connected 3-element meter measuring the active energy (E) consumed by a load.

$$ E = \int (U 1 (t) \cdot I 1 (t) + U 2 (t) \cdot I 2 (t) + U 3 (t) \cdot I 3 (t)) \cdot d t $$
Calculating total active power
In the case where no harmonics are present and the rms values of the voltages and currents are constant, the total active power can be expressed as:
$$ \mathrm{Ptot} = \mathrm{P1} + \mathrm{P2} + \mathrm{P3} = \mathrm{U1xI1xcos} \varphi 1 + \mathrm{U2xI2xcos} \varphi 2 + \mathrm{U3xI3xcos} \varphi 3 $$
where 1 , 2 and 3 is the phase angles between the phase voltage and its respective current.
3-element metering with the neutral disconnected
Sometimes it is desired to use a 3-element meter without having the neutral connected. It can be done with both transformer connected and direct connected meters.
This can for example be desired in cases where a voltage transformer without a neutral is being used for the moment but where a change to a voltage transformer with neutral will be made sometime in the future. To save the trouble of changing the meter at that time a 3-element meter is used from the beginning.
Using a 3-element meter without having the neutral connected will decrease the accuracy due to the fact that the floating neutral connection on the meter (terminal 11) will lie at a different level than the true neutral (N) because of impedance imbalance inside the meter, resulting in the phase voltages not being correct. The imbalance error is usually however rather small (typically 0-2%) and if the cur-rents are balanced the total error in the energy measurement will be very small, as a too small energy measurement on one element will be compensated by approx-imately opposite errors for the other phases.
Illustration
The following diagram shows a 3-element transformer connected meter with the neutral disconnected, that is left floating:

3-element metering with 2 transformers
It is also possible to use a 3-element meter with only 2 current transformers. This type connection is possible both with and without the neutral available or the neutral left floating.
Note that if the current transformers are connected to protective earth it must be connected in only one point. Both methods require a balanced system (voltages and currents the same in all 3 phases). It shall also be mentioned that having a floating neutral also can give additional errors in the measured voltages due to impedance unlinearity and imbalance inside the meter.
Illustration
The following diagram shows a 3-element transformer connected meter with 2 current transformers:

Illustration
The following diagram shows a 3-element meter with a voltage transformer connected and 2 current transformers and a floating neutral connection:

Summation metering
The currents from several different transformers can be summed into one single meter.

Note - The summation metering method could also be used with a single phase meter or a 2-element meter

9.1 Bus Description
General
Modbus communication in the A series meters is done on a 3-wire (A, B and Common) polarity dependent bus according to the RS-485 standard. Maximum number of meters connected to one physical bus is 247 (which is the same as the individual device address range in Modbus).
Topology
The RS-485 bus uses line topology, see figure below. Stubs at the meter connections are allowed but should be kept as short as possible and no longer than 1 m. Bus termination in both ends of the line should be used. The resistors should have the same values as the characteristic impedance of the cable which normally is 120 ohm.

Cable used is non shielded or shielded twisted pair cable with wire area of 0.35-1.5 mm ^2 . If shielded cable is used the shield should be connected to ground in one end. Maximum length of the bus is 700 m.
9.2 About the Modbus Protocol
General
Modbus is a master-slave communication protocol that can support up to 247 slaves organized as a multidrop bus. The communication is half duplex. Services on Modbus are specified by function codes.
The function codes are used to read or write 16 bit registers. All metering data, such as active energy, voltage or firmware version, is represented by one or more such registers. For further information about the relation between register number and metering data, refer to “Mapping Tables” on page - 103.
The Modbus protocol is specified in its entirety in Modbus Application Protocol Specification V1.1b. The document is available at http://www.modbus.org
Supported
function codes
The following function codes are supported:
• Function code 3 (Read holding registers
• Function code 6 (Write single register)
• Function code 16 (Write multiple registers)
Modbus
request frame
A Modbus request frame generally has the following structure:
| Slave Address | Function Code | Data | Error Check |
| Slave address | Modbus slave address, 1 byte. |
| Function code | Decides the service to be performed. |
| Data | Dependent on the function code. The length varies. |
| Error check | CRC, 2 bytes |
Message types
The network messages can be query-response or broadcast type. The query-response command sends a query from the master to an individual slave and is generally followed by a response.
The broadcast command sends a message to all slaves and is never followed by a response. Broadcast is supported by function code 6 and 16.
9.2.1 Function Code 3 (Read holding registers)
General
Function code 3 is used to read measurement values or other information from the electricity meter. It is possible to read up to 125 consecutive registers at a time. This means that multiple values can be read in one request.
Request frame
A request frame has the following structure:
| Slave Address | Function Code | Address | No. of Registers | Error Check |
Example of a request
The following is an example of a request. (read total energy import, etc...)
| Slave address | 0x01 |
| Function code | 0x03 |
| Start address, high byte | 0x50 |
| Start address, low byte | 0x00 |
| No. of registers, high byte | 0x00 |
| No. of registers, low byte | 0x18 |
| Error check (CRC), high byte | 0x54 |
| Error check (CRC), low byte | 0xC0 |
Response frame
A response frame has the following structure:
| Slave Address | Function Code | Byte Count | Register Values | Error Check |
Example of a response
The following is an example of a response:
| Slave address | 0x01 |
| Function code | 0x03 |
| Byte count | 0x30 |
| Value of register 0x5000, high byte | 0x00 |
| Value of register 0x5000, low byte | 0x15 |
| ... | |
| Value of register 0x5017, high byte | 0xFF |
| Value of register 0x5017, low byte | 0xFF |
| Error check (CRC), high byte | 0xXX |
| Error check (CRC), low byte | 0xXX |
In this example, the slave with the Modbus address 1 responds to a read request. The number of data bytes is 0x30. The first register (0x5000) has the value 0x0015 and the last (0x5017) has the value 0xFFFF
9.2.2 Function Code 16 (Write multiple registers)
General
Function code 16 is used to modify settings in the meter, such as date/time, to control output and to reset values, such as power fail counter. It is possible to write up to 123 consecutive registers in a single request. This means that several settings can be modified and/or several reset operations can be performed in a single request.
Request frame A request frame has the following structure:
| Slave Address | Function Code | Start Address | No. of Registers | Byte Count | Register Values | Error Check |
Example of a request
The following is an example of a request (set Date/Time to November 11, 2010, 12:13:14):
| Slave address | 0x01 |
| Function code | 0x10 |
| Start address, high byte | 0x8A |
| Start address, low byte | 0x00 |
| No. of registers, high byte | 0x00 |
| No. of registers, low byte | 0x03 |
| Byte count | 0x06 |
| Value of register 0x8A00, high byte | 0x0A |
| Value of register 0x8A00, low byte | 0x0B |
| Value of register 0x8A01, high byte | 0x0B |
| Value of register 0x8A01, low byte | 0x0C |
| Value of register 0x8A02, high byte | 0x0D |
| Value of register 0x8A02, low byte | 0x0E |
| Error check (CRC), high byte | 0x8C |
| Error check (CRC), low byte | 0x82 |
In this example the master sends a write request to the slave that has the Modbus address 1. The first register to write is 0x8A00 and the number of registers to write is 0x03. This means that the registers 0x8A00 to 0x8A02 are written. Register 0x8A00 is set to the value 0x0A0B, and so on.
Response frame
A response frame has the following structure:
| Slave Address | Function Code | Start Address | No. of Registers | Error Check |
Example of a response
The following is an example of a response:
| Slave address | 0x01 |
| Function code | 0x10 |
| Register address, high byte | 0x8A |
| Register address, low byte | 0x00 |
| No. of registers, high byte | 0x00 |
| No. of registers, low byte | 0x03 |
| Error check (CRC), high byte | 0xAA |
| Error check (CRC), low byte | 0x10 |
In the example above the slave with the Modbus address 1 responds to a write request. The first register is 0x8A00 and 0x03 registers have been successfully written to.
9.2.3 Function Code 6 (Write single register)
General
Function code 6 can be used as an alternative to function code 16 if there is only one register to be written. It can, for example be used to reset the power fail counter.
Request frame
A request frame has the following structure:
| Slave Address | Function Code | Register Address | Register Value | Error Check |
Example of a request
The following is an example of a request (reset power fail counter):
| Slave address | 0x01 |
| Function code | 0x06 |
| Register address, high byte | 0x8F |
| Register address, low byte | 0x00 |
| No. of registers, high byte | 0x00 |
| No. of registers, low byte | 0x01 |
| Error check (CRC), high byte | 0x62 |
| Error check (CRC), low byte | 0xDE |
Response frame
Using function code 6, the response frame is an echo of the request frame.
9.2.3.1 Exception Responses
General
If an error should occur while processing a request, the meter gives an exception response that contains an exception code.
Exception frame An exception frame has the following structure:
| Slave Address | Function Code | Exception Code | Error Check |
In the exception response the function code is set to the function code of the request plus 0x80.
Exception codes
The exception codes that are used are listed in the following table:
| Exception code | Exception | Definition |
| 01 | Illegal function | A function code that is not supported has been used. |
| 02 | Illegal data address | The requested register is outside the allowed range. |
| 03 | Illegal data value | The structure of a received message is incorrect. |
| 04 | Slave device failure | Processing the request fail due to an internal error in the meter. |
9.3 Reading and Writing to Registers
| Readable registers | The readable range in the modbus mapping are registers 1000-8EFF (hexadecimal). Reading any registers within this range will result in a normal Modbus response. It is possible to read any number of registers between 1 and 125, i.e., it is not necessary to read all registers of a quantity listed on one line in the mapping tables. Any attempt to read outside this range will result in an illegal data address exception (Modbus exception code 2). |
| Multi-register values | For quantities that are represented as more than 1 register, the most significant byte is found in the high byte of the first (lowest) register. The least significant byte is found in the low byte of the last (highest) register. |
| Unused registers | Unused registers within the mapping range, for example missing quantities in the connected meter, will result in a normal Modbus response but the value of the register will be set to “invalid”. For quantities with data type “unsigned”, the value will be FFFF in all registers. For quantities with data type “signed”, the value is the highest value possible to express. That means that a quantity that is represented by only one register will have the value 7FFF. A quantity that is represented by 2 registers will have the value 7FFFFFFF, and so on. |
| Writing to registers | Writing to registers is only permitted to the registers listed as writable in the mapping tables. Attempting to write to a register that is listed as writable but that is not supported by the meter will not result in an error indication. |
![]() | Note - It is not possible to modify parts of a setting, e.g. to set only the year and month of the Date/time setting. |
| Confirm set values | After you set a value in the meter, it is recommended that you read the value to confirm the result, since it is not possible to confirm if a write was successful from the Modbus response. |
9.4 Mapping Tables

Note - Powers are sent out as 32 bit signed integers, expressed in W (or var/VA) with 2 decimals. This means that the maximum power possible to express is approximately ± 21 MW. If the power is higher than that the user is advised to read power from the DMTME mapping instead, where the scaling is in W without decimals.

9.5 Historical Data
General
In the Modbus mapping all historical data is organized as entries. This concerns Previous values, Demand, Load profile and Event logs.
Entry number 1 is the most recent entry, entry number 2 is the second most recent, and so on. Entry number 0 is not used.
Readout of all types of historical values is made by writing to a group of registers called Header and reading from one or more groups of registers called Data blocks.
The Header is used for controlling readout with respect to date/time or entry numbers, and for loading new entries into the Data blocks. The data blocks contain the actual data, for example event log entries or energy values.
When there are no more entries to read all registers in the Data blocks are set to 0xFFFF.
Header registers
There are a number of standard commands that are used in the same way when reading out any type of historical data. These are represented by registers in the Header, separately mapped for each functionality, but with the same names.
The following table describes the common header registers:
| Function | Size | Description | Data type | Read/write |
| Get next entry | 1 | Write the value 1 to this register to load new values in the Data block(s) | Unsigned | R/W |
| Entry number | 1 | Write to this register to choose an entry number to start reading from | Unsigned | R/W |
| Date/Time | 3 | Write to this register to choose a date/time to start reading from | Date/Time (see below) | R/W |
| Direction | 1 | Write to this register to choose the direction of reading | Unsigned | R/W |
Get next entry register
The Get next entry register is used to continue an ongoing readout, which was started by writing to any of the Entry number, Date/Time or Direction registers.
If the direction in Direction register is set to backward the Data block is loaded with older data. And correspondingly, if the direction is set to forward the Data block is loaded with more recent data.
Entry number register
The Entry number register is used to specify an entry number to start reading from. When a value is written to the Entry number register the Data block is loaded with values for that entry number.
Subsequent writes to Get next entry register will update the Entry number register (increment or decrement depending on direction in the Direction register), as well as loading new values to the Data block.
The default value of Entry number register after a restart is 0.
Date/Time register
The Date/Time register is used to specify a date and time to start reading from. When a value is written to the Date/Time register the Data block is loaded with values for that date and time. The Entry number register is also automatically updated, to reflect which entry number the values for this date and time has.
If there is no entry for the date and time chosen, and the reading direction is set to backward, the nearest older entry will be loaded into the Data block. If the reading direction is instead forward, the nearest newer entry will be loaded.
Subsequent writes to Get next entry register will load new data into the Data block, in the order indicated by the Direction register. The Entry number register will also be automatically updated (incremented or decremented depending on the direction in the Direction register).
Direction register The Direction register is used to control the direction in time in which the entries are read. Possible values are shown in the table below:
| Value | Description |
| 0 | Backwards, i.e. from recent entries towards older entries |
| 1 | Forward, i.e. from old entries towards recent entries |
The default value of Entry number register after a restart is 0, i.e. backwards.
Data block registers
There are a number of standard data items that are used in the same way when reading out any type of historical data. These are represented by registers in the Data block, separately mapped for each functionality, but with the same names.
The following table describes the common Data block registers:
| Function | Size | Description | Data type | Read/write |
| Timestamp | 3 | The date and time on which the value was stored | Date/Time | R/W |
| Quantity | 3 | OBIS code for the quantity concerned | 6 byte sequence | R/W |
| Data type | 1 | Data type for the value of the quantity concerned | Unsigned | R/W |
| Scaler | 1 | Scaling of the value for the quantity concerned | Signed | R/W |
Timestamp
The date and time on which the value was stored. How to interpret the data in these registers is described in. “Date and time format” on page - 117
Quantity registers
The OBIS code for a quantity in for example a load profile channel or previous values channel. A list of OBIS codes is found in “Quantity identifiers” on page - 117.
The table below shows an example of how an OBIS code is mapped to the Quantity registers. The OBIS code used is for active energy import total: 1.0.1.8.0.255.
| Byte number | Comment on byte order | Value (in case of active energy import total) |
| 0 | Most significant byte of lowest register | 1 |
| 1 | Least significant byte of lowest register | 0 |
| 2 | ... | 1 |
| 3 | ... | 8 |
| 4 | ... | 0 |
| 5 | Least significant byte of highest register | 255 |
Data type register The data type register contains a data type identifier that is a value between 0 and 255. Currently only two identifiers are used for historical values. The identifier for 64 bit unsigned integer is 21 and the identifier for 64 bit signed integer is 20.
Scaler register The scaler register shows the resolution of the value. The measured value in the Value register should be interpreted as value*10 ^scaler . For example, the prefix kilo is represented by scaler 3 while milli is -3. An energy accumulator with the resolution 0,01 kWh consequently has scaler 1.
Date and time format
The same date and time format is used wherever a date and time occurs in the registers, e.g. the Date/Time register in the Header or a timestamp in the Data block. The following table shows the structure of date and time in the mapping:
| Byte number | Description | Comment on byte order |
| 0 | Year | Most significant byte of lowest register |
| 1 | Month | Least significant byte of lowest register |
| 2 | Day | ... |
| 3 | Hour | ... |
| 4 | Minute | ... |
| 5 | Second | Least significant byte of highest register |
Response times
The Headers for reading out historical values include one or more of the registers Entry number, Date/Time, Direction and Get next entry for controlling the readout.
When writing to any of the registers Entry number, Date/Time or Direction a new search is started in the persistent storage, which can take a long time depending on how old the entry searched for is. The response from Modbus is given after the search is finished, i.e. when the requested entry has been found.
Recent entries are found fast, whereas finding the oldest can take seconds or even up to about a minute if there are many thousands of newer values. It is therefore preferable to start reading from a recent entry number or date/time and then go backwards in time.
Writing to the Get next entry register continues the ongoing search and consequently goes fast.

| 3 | Repeat step 2 for all week profiles that shall be used, i.e. the same number of times as the value written in step 1. |
Read week profile configuration
Follow the steps in the table below to read the current week profile configuration:
| Step | Action |
| 1 | Read the Number of week profiles register to find out how many week profiles are used. |
| 2 | Read from the Week profile registers to get the week profile name and day ID:s for the first week profile. |
| 3 | Repeat step 2 for each week profile, until all week profile configurations have been read. This means step 2 shall be performed the same number of times as the value read in step 1. |

Note - Step 1 initiates the readout procedure and can NOT be left out, even if the number of week profiles used is already known.

Note – The Week profile number register can optionally be read together with the Week profile registers in step 2. The Week profile number register holds the current week profile number, starting from 1 after reading the Number of week profiles regis-ter. It is incremented every time the Week profile registers are read.
Day profile configuration registers
The following table describes the group of registers for configuring day profiles:
| Function | Start Reg (Hex) | Size | Description | Read/write |
| Number of day profiles | 8CCD | 1 | The number of day profiles used (1-16) | R/W |
| Day profile number | 8CCE | 1 | Current day profile number during read or write of configuration | R |
| Number of actions | 8CCF | 1 | The number of actions during a day profile (1-30) | R/W |
| Action number | 8CD0 | 1 | Current action number during read or write of configuration | R |
| Action | 8CD1 | 2 | Time when the action shall be performed, and what to do | R/W |
Action registers
The following table describes the group of registers for configuring a day profile action:
| Function | Byte number | Description |

| 1 (Low byte) | Minute when the action shall be performed. | |
| Action id | (Both bytes) | Decides the action to perform. See the list of possible actions below. |

Note - Both registers in the table above must be written in one operation, otherwise the values will not take effect.
Possible actions to perform are activating tariffs and setting or resetting outputs. The possible values for action id are listed in the table below:
| Value | Description |
| 0 | Activate tariff 1 |
| ... | ... |
| 3 | Activate tariff 4 |
| 100 | Set output 1 |
| 101 | Reset output 1 |
| ... | ... |
| 106 | Set output 4 |
| 107 | Reset output 4 |
Write day profile configuration
Follow the steps in the table below to configure the day profiles:
| Step | Action |
| 1 | Write the number of day profiles to use to the Number of day profiles register. This is a value between 1 and 16. |
| 2 | Write the number of actions to perform for the first day profile to the Number of actions register. This is a number between 1 and 30. |
| 3 | Write the execution time and action id for the first action to perform during the day to the Action registers. |
| 4 | Repeat step 3 for all actions that shall be performed during the day, i.e. the same number of times as the value written in step 2. |
| 5 | Repeat step 2-4 for all day profiles, i.e. the same number of times as the value written in step 1. |
Read day profile configuration
Follow the steps in the table below to read the current day profile configuration:
| Step | Action |
| 1 | Read the Number of day profiles register to find out how many day profiles are used. |
| 2 | Read the Number of actions register to find out how many actions are configured for the first day profile. |
| 3 | Read from the Action registers to get the execution time and action id for the first action. |
| 4 | Repeat step 3 for all actions that are configured for the day, i.e. the same number of times as the value read in step 2. |
| 5 | Repeat step 2-4 for all day profiles, i.e. the same number of times as the value read in step 1. |

Note - Step 1 and 2 initiate the readout procedure and can NOT be left out, even if the number of day profiles and actions used are already known.

Note – The Day profile number register can optionally be read together with the Num-ber of actions register in step 2. The Day profile number register holds the current day profile number, starting from 1 after reading the Number of day profiles register. It is incremented every time the last action during the day is read from Action registers.
In the same way the Action number register can optionally be read together with the Action registers in step 3. The Action number register holds the current action number, starting from 1 after reading the Number of actions register. It is incremented every time the Action registers are read.
Special days configuration registers
The following table describes the group of registers for configuring special days:
| Function | Start Reg (Hex) | Size | Description | Read/write |
| Number of special days | 8CD3 | 1 | The number of special days used (1-50) | R/W |

| Special day | 8CD5 | 3 | Date and associated day ID for the special day | R/W |
Special day registers
The following table describes the group of registers for configuring a week profile:
| Contents | Register | Byte nr | Description |
| Date | 8CD5 | 0 (high byte)1 | YearMonth |
| 8CD6 | 0 | Day | |
| 1 | Not used | ||
| Day id | 8CD7 | (Both) | Day ID associated with the special day |

Note – All 3 registers in the table above must be written in one operation, otherwise the values will not take effect.
Write special day configuration
Follow the steps in the table below to configure the special days:
| Step | Action |
| 1 | Write the number of special days to use to the Number of special days register. This is a value between 1 and 50. |
| 2 | Write the desired date and day id of the first special to the Special day registers. |
| 3 | Repeat step 2 for all special days that shall be used, i.e. the same number of times as the value written in step 1. |
Read special day configuration
Follow the steps in the table below to read the current special day configuration:
| Step | Action |
| 1 | Read the Number of special days register to find out how many special days are used. |
| 2 | Read from the Special day registers to get the date and day id for the first special day. |
| 3 | Repeat step 2 for each special day, until all special day configurations have been read. This means step 2 shall be performed the same number of times as the value read in step 1. |

Note - Step 1 initiates the readout procedure and can NOT be left out, even if the number of special days used is already known.

Note – The Special day number register can optionally be read together with the Spe-cial day registers in step 2. The Special day number register holds the current special day number, starting from 1 after reading the Number of special days register.

9.10.7 Daylight Savings Time
General
Daylight savings time (DST) can be enabled and if enabled it has a start and end time that can be defined.
Mapping table
The following table shows an overview of the mapping table:
| Quantity | Details | Start Reg (Hex) | Size |
| DST | DST start | 8CE6 | 2 |
| DST | DST end | 8CE8 | 2 |
| DST | DST enabled | 8CEA | 1 |
DST start and end registers
The following table shows the contents of the registers for configuring DST start. The structure of the DST end registers are the same as for DST start.
| Register | Start Reg (Hex) | Size | Description | Read/write |
| DST start | 8CE6 | 2 | Byte 0*: monthByte 1: Day of monthByte 2: Day of week, 1 = monday, 7 = sundayByte 3: Hour | R/WR/WR/WR/W |
* Byte 0 is the highest byte of the lowest register.
For month, day of month and day of week wild cards can be used according to the table below.
| Setting | Wild cards available |
| Month | Not specified: 255 |
| Day of month | Not specified: 255Last day of month: 2542:nd last day of month: 253 |
| Day of week | Not specified: 255 |
| Hour | - |
DST enabled
The DST enabled register decides whether the DST functionality of the meter is not: 0 = off, 1 = on.
Examples of DST start/end
Month = 3, Day of month = 254, Day of week = 7, Hour = 2 means last sunday of march 02:00.
Month = 3, Day of month = 254, Day of week = 255, Hour = 2 means last day of march 02:00, regardless on which weekday it occurs.
Month = 3, Day of month = 2, Day of week = 7, Hour = 2 means second sunday of march 02:00.

10.1 Bus Description
General
M-bus is a 2-wire polarity independent bus, optimized for master-slave communication with gas, water, heat and electricity meters. Number of meters on one physically connected bus is 1-250. A bus can be extended by using a repeater.
Topology
M-bus topology is flexible and star, line, tree topology or a mix of these can be used, see figure below. Ring topology can not be used. Bus termination is not required.

It is recommended to use non-shielded twisted pair cable with wire area of 0.8 mm^2 , for example two-wire standard telephone cable JYStY N*2*0.8 mm^2 . If shielded cable is used the shield must not be connected to any of the two bus wires. Maximum total length of the bus is 1000 m. Maximum length between a slave and a repeater is 350 m.
10.2 Protocol Description
General
The communication protocol described in this chapter meets the requirements of EN 13757-2 and EN 13757-3.
The communication can be divided in two parts. One part is reading data from the meter and the other part is sending data to it.
The data readout procedure starts when the master sends a REQ_UD2 telegram to the meter. The meter responds with a RSP_UD telegram. A typical readout is a multi-telegram readout.
Some data in the meter can only be read by first sending a SND_UD followed by REQ_UD2. This is true for load profiles, demand, log files and normally for harmonics.
Using SND_UD telegrams data can be sent to the meter.

10.2.1 Telegram Format
General
M-Bus uses 3 different telegram formats. The formats are identified by the start character.
| Single Character | Short Frame | Long Frame |
| E5H | Start (10h) | Start (68h) |
| C-Field | L-Field | |
| A-Field | L-Field | |
| Check Sum | Start (68h) | |
| Stop (16h) | C-Field | |
| A-Field | ||
| CI-Field | ||
| User Data (0-252 Bytes) | ||
| Check Sum | ||
| Stop (16h |
The Single Character format consists of a single character and is used to acknowledge received telegrams.
The Short Frame format is identified by its start character (10h) and consists of five characters. Besides the C- and A-fields it includes the check sum and the stop character 16h.
The Long Frame format is identified by its start character (68h) and consists of a variable number of characters. After the start character the L -field is transmitted twice, then the start character once again followed by the C-, A- and CI-fields. The user data (0 - 252 bytes) is transmitted after the CI-field followed by the check sum and the stop character (16h).
10.2.1.1 Field description
General
All fields in the telegram have a length of 1byte (8 bits).
The L-Field
The L-Field (length field) gives the size of the user data (in bytes) plus 3 (for the C-, A- and CI-Fields). It is transmitted twice in the telegrams using the long frame format.
The C-Field
The C-Field (control field) contains information about the direction of the data flow and error handling. Besides labeling the functions and the actions caused by them, the control field specifies the direction of data flow and is responsible for various parts of the communication to and from the meter.
The following table shows the coding of the C-Field:
| Bit No. | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| To meter | 0 | PRM | FCB | FCV | F3 | F2 | F1 | F0 |
| From meter | 0 | PRM | 0 | 0 | F3 | F2 | F1 | F0 |
The primary message bit (PRM) is used to specify the direction of the data flow. It is set to 1 when a telegram is sent from a master to the meter and to 0 in the other direction.
The frame count bit valid (FCV) is set to 1 by the master to indicate that the frame count bit (FCB) is used. When the FCV is set to 0, the meter ignores the FCB.
The FCB is used to indicate successful transmission procedures. A master shall toggle the bit after a successful reception of a reply from the meter. If the expected reply is missing, or the reception of it is faulty, the master resends the same tele-gram with the same FCB. The meter answers, to a REQ_UD2-request with tog-gled FCB and a set FCV, with a RSP_UD containing the next telegram of a multi-telegram answer. If the FCB is not toggled it will repeat the last telegram. The actual values will be updated in a repeated telegram.
On receipt of a SND_NKE the meter clears the FCB. The meter uses the same FCB for primary addressing, secondary addressing and point-to-point communication.
The bits 0 to 3 (F0, F1, F2 and F3) of the control field are the function code of the message. The following table shows the function codes:
| Comand | C-Field (binary) | C-Field (hex) | Telegram | Description |
| SND_NKE | 0100 0000 | 40 | Short frame | Initialization of meter |
| SND_UD | 01F1 0011 | 53/73 | Long frame | Send user data to meter |
| REQ_UD2 | 01F1 1011 | 5b | Short frame | Request for class 2 data |
| RSP_UD | 0000 1000 | 08 | Long frame | Data transfer form meter to master after request. |
A-Field
The A-Field (address field) is used to address the recipient in the calling direction, and to identify the sender of information in the receiving direction. The size of this field is one byte, and can therefore take values from 0 to 255.
The following table shows the allocation of addresses:
| Address | Description |
| 0 | Factory default |
| 1-250 | Can be given to meters as individual primary addresses, either via the bus (secondary addressing) or via the buttons directly on the meter. |
| 251-252 | Reserved for future use. |
| 253 | Used by the secondary addressing procedure (FDh). |
| 254 | Used for point-to-point communication (FEh). The meter replies with its primary address. |
| 255 | Used for broadcast transmissions to all meters (FFh). None of the meters replies to a broadcast message. |
CI-Field
The CI-field (control information) codes the type and sequence of application data to be transmitted in the frame. Bit two (counting begins with bit 0, value 4), called M-bit or Mode bit, in the CI-field gives information about the used byte sequence in multi-byte data structures. For communication with the meter, the Mode bit shall not be set (Mode 1) meaning the least significant byte of a multi-byte record is transmitted first.
The following table shows the codes to be used by the master:
| CI_Field codes | Application |
| 51h | Data send |
| 52h | Selection of slaves |
| B8h | Set baud rate to 300 |
| B9h | Set baud rate to 600 |
| Bah | Set baud rate to 1200 |
| BBh | Set baud rate to 2400 |
| BCh | Set baud rate to 4800 |
| BDh | Set baud rate to 9600 |
| BEh | Set baud rate to 19200 |
| BFh | Set baud rate to 38400 |
The meter uses code 72 in the CI-Field to respond to requests for user data.
User data
The User Data contains the data to be sent to the recipient.
The following table shows the structure of the data sent from the meter to the master:
| Fixed data header | Data records | MDH |
| 12 bytes | Variable number of bytes | 1 byte |
The following table shows the structure of the data sent from the master to the meter:
| Data records |
| Variable number of bytes |
Fixed data header
The following table shows the structure of the fixed data header:
| ID No. | Manufacturer | Version | Medium | Access No. | Status | Signature |
| 4 bytes | 2 bytes | 1 byte | 1 byte | 1 byte | 1 byte | 2 byte |
The following list explains the content of the fixed data header:
- Identification No. is the 8-digit serial number of the meter (BCD coded).
• Manufacturer is set to 0442h meaning ABB - Version specifies the version of the protocol implementation. The meters currently use the protocol version equal to 0x20.
• Medium byte is set to 02h to indicate electricity. - Access number is a counter that counts successful accesses.
- Status byte is used to indicate the meter status.
| Bit Meaning | |
| 0 Meter busy | |
| 1 Internal error | |
| 2 Power low | |
| 3 Permanent error | |
| 4 Temporary error | |
| 5 Installation error | |
| 6 Not used | |
| 7 Not used |
• Signature is set to 00 00h
Data records
The data, together with information regarding coding, length and the type of data is transmitted in data records. The maximum total length of the data records is 240 bytes.
The following table shows the structure of the data record (transmitted left to right):
| Data Record Header | Data | |||
| Data Information Block (DIB) | Value Information Block (VIB) | |||
| DIF | DIFE | VIF | VIFE | |
| 1 byte | 0-10 bytes | 1 byte | 0-10 bytes | 0-n bytes |
Each Data record consists of a data record header (DRH) and the actual data. The DRH in turn consists of the data information block (DIB) to describe the length, type and coding of the data, and the value information block (VIB) to give the value of the unit and the multiplier.
Data information block (DIB)
The DIB contains at least one byte (Data Information Field, DIF), and is in some cases expanded with, a maximum of 10, DIFE's (Data Information Field Extension).
The following table shows the structure of the Data Information Field (DIF):
| Bit 7 | Bit 6 | Bit 5 | Bit 4 | Bit 3 | Bit 2 | Bit 1 | Bit 0 |
| Extension bit | LSB ^1 of storage No. | Function Field | Data Field | ||||
- Least significant bit.
The following list explains the content of the DIF:
- The Extension Bit is set when the next byte is a DIFE.
- The LSB of storage No. is normally set to 0 to indicate actual value. (1=stored value).
- The Function Field is set to 00 for instantaneous values, 01 for maximum values and 10 for minimum values.
- The Data Field shows the format of the data. The following table shows the coding of the data field:
| Code | Meaning | Length |
| 0000 | No Data | 0 |
| 0001 | 8 Bit Integer | 1 |
| 0010 | 16 Bit Integer | 2 |
| 0100 | 32 Bit Integer | 4 |
| 0111 | 64 Bit Integer | 8 |
| 1010 | 4 digit BCD | 2 |
| 1011 | 6 digit BCD | 3 |
| 1100 | 8 digit BCD | 4 |
| 1101 | Variable Length (ASCII) | Variable |
| 1110 | 12 digit BCD | 6 |
The following table shows the structure of the Data Information Field Extension (DIFE)
| Bit 7 | Bit 6 | Bit 5 | Bit 4 | Bit 3 | Bit 2 | Bit 1 | Bit 0 |
| Extension bit | Unit | Tariff | Storage No. | ||||
The following list explains the content of the DIFE:
- Unit is used for power and energy values show the type of power/energy. It is also used to define the number of inputs/outputs and to specify sign of offset when accessing event log data.
- Tariff is used for energy values to give tariff information.
- Storage number is set to 0 in values read to indicate momentary values. Storage number bigger than 0 is used to indicate previously stored values, i.e., values stored at a specific point of time in the past.
Value Information block (VIB)
VIB follows a DIF or DIFE without extension bit. It contains one value information field (VIF) and is in some cases expanded with up to 10 value information field extensions (VIFE).
The following table shows the structure of the value informatiuon field (VIF):
| Bit 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| Extension Bit | Value Information | ||||||
Value information contains information about the value (unit, status, etc.,) The extension bit is set when the next byte is a VIFE.
If VIF or VIFE = FFh the next VIFE is manufacturer specific. The manufacturer specific VIFE has the same construction as a VIF. If the extension bit of the manufacturer specific VIFE is set, and the VIFE is less than 1111 1000, the next byte is a standard VIFE, otherwise it is the first data byte. If the extension bit of the manufacturer specific VIFE is set and the VIFE is bigger than or equal to 1111 1000, the next byte is an extension of manufacturer specific VIFE's.
The Data follows a VIF or a VIFE without the extension bit set.
Data
Manufacturer data header (MDH)
The manufacturer data header (MDH) is either made up by the character 1Fh that indicates that more data will follow in the next telegram, or by 0Fh indicating the last telegram.
Check sum
The Check Sum is used to recognize transmission and synchronization faults. It is calculated from the arithmetical sum, of the bytes from the control field to the last user data, without taking carry digits into account.

10.2.3 Communication process
General
The Data Link Layer uses two kinds of transmission services:
Send/Confirm SND/CON
Request/Respond REQ/RSP
When the meter has received a correct telegram it waits between 35 and 80 ms before it responds. A telegram is considered as correct if it passes the following tests:
- Start /Parity /Stop bits per character
- Start /Check Sum /Stop characters per telegram format
- In case of a long frame, the number of additional characters received match the L-field (= L Field + 6).
- If the received data is reasonable
The time between a response from the meter and a new message from the master must be at least 20 ms.
Send/confirm procedure
SND_NKE is used to initiate communication with the meter. When the meter has received an NKE followed by a REQ_UD2 (see description below), the 1st tele-gram from the meter is sent out.
If the meter was selected for secondary addressing it will be deselected. The value of the FCB is cleared in the meter, i.e., the meter expects that the first telegram from a master with FCV=1 contains an FCB=1.
The meter can either confirm a correct reception with the single character acknowledge E5h), or it can omit confirmation because it did not receive the tele-gram correctly.
SND_UD is used to send data to the meter. The meter either confirms reception of a correct message or it omits confirmation because it did not receive the telegram correctly.
Request/respond procedure
REQ_UD2 is used by the master to request data from the meter. RSP_UD is used by the meter to transfer data to the master. The meter indicates to the master that more data will follow in the next telegram by sending 1Fh as the last user data.
If the meter does not respond to the REQ_UD2, it's an indication that the message was not received correctly or that the address does not match.
10.2.3.1 Selection and secondary addressing
General
It is possible to communicate with the meter using secondary addressing. The secondary addressing takes place with the help of a selection:
| 68h | 0Bh | 0Bh | 68h | 53h | FDh | 52h | ID1-4 | Manu-facturer1-2 | Generation^1 | Medi-dium | CS | 16h |
- Generation means the same thing as version.
The master sends a SND_UD with the control information 52h to the address 253 (FDh) and fills the specific meter secondary address fields (identification number, manufacturer, version and medium) with the values of the meter that is to be addressed. The address (FDh) and the control information (52h) is the indication for the meter to compare the following secondary address with its own, and to change into the selected state should it match. In this case the meter answers the selection with an acknowledgement (E5h), otherwise it does not reply. Selected state means that the meter can be addressed with the bus address 253 (FDh).
Wild cards
During selection individual positions of the secondary addresses can be occupied by wildcards. Such a wildcard means that this position will not be taken into account during selection. In the identification number each individual digit can be wild-carded by a wildcard nibble Fh while the fields for manufacturer, version and medium can be wild -carded by a wildcard byte FFh. The meter will remain selected until it receives a selection command with non-matching secondary addresses, a selection command with CI=56h, or a SND_NKE to address 253.
10.3 Standard Readout of Meter Data
General
This section describes the readout of the default telegrams containing energy and instrumentation values etc. The data readout procedure starts when the master sends a REQ_UD2 telegram to the meter. The meter responds with a RSP_UD telegram. A typical readout is a multi-telegram readout. The last DIF in the user data part of the telegram is 1F to indicate that there is more data in the next telegram, or 0F if there are no more telegrams.
For EQ meters there are up to 7 default telegrams to read. In meters with internal clock more telegrams may follow, containing previous values data. The most recent values are sent out first having storage number 1, then the second most recently stored values with storage number 2 and so on until all stored previous values have been read. If no previous values exist in a meter with internal clock a telegram is sent out where all data is marked with status byte for "No data available".
It is also possible to read previous values starting from a specific date and backwards in time by sending a special read request.

Note - Note: Normally the meter is configured to send out power values as 32 bit integers, expressed in W (or var/VA) with 2 decimals. This means that the maximum power possible to express is approximately ± 21 MW
Below following sections is an example of a readout of the 7 default telegrams and 2 previous values telegrams, containing the most recent snapshot of previous values. Note that these are examples only, data types and scaling of the quantities can differ between meters, as well as the allocation of quantities to different telegrams.

10.4 Special Readout of Meter Data
Introduction
Some data in the meter can only be read by first sending a SND_UD followed by a REQ_UD2.

Note – An NKE should always be sent before sending any of the commands described below. If the meter is in the middle of another special data readout process it will not respond correctly to the command.
After reading the first telegram, it is possible to continue reading by sending re-peated REQ_UD2 commands
If the data item that has been read is normal and without any specific status associated with it, no status-VIFE or 0 will be sent out. If the status is “data error” or “no data available”, the standard M-Bus status coding will be sent out (18 hex or 15 hex).
Readable data
The data that can be read in this way is:
- Load profile
- Demand
- Previous values
- Logs
- Harmonics
Date, date/time format
In some cases data specifying date or date/time is contained in the read request command.
The format for date used in the commands is M-Bus data type G:
| Day in bits 0-4 | Valid values 1-31 |
| Months in bits 8-11 | Valid values 1-12 |
| Year in bits 5-7 and 12-15 (bits 5-7 are the LSB bits) | Valid values 1-99 |
The format for date/time is 6 bytes BCD or M-Bus data type F. M-Bus data type F consists of
| Minutes in bits 0-5 | Valid values 0-59 |
| Hours in bits 8-12 | Valid values 0-23 |
| Day in bits 16-20 | Valid values 1-31 |
| Months in bits 24-27 | Valid values 1-12 |
| Year in bits 21-23 and 28-31 (MSB bits) | Valid values 0-99 |
If a date or date/time is specified in the command, the meter sends out data for that period. If no data is stored in the meter for the specified period, the meter will
send out data from the nearest date backward in time. Therefore it is recommended that the system should check the date sent in the telegram to verify that it is the requested date. If no data is stored in the meter for the specified date, or for any date backward in time, the telegram will contain no load profile data (only the interval length).

Comments
The data is sent out with a number of profile values in each telegram.
The first data item sent out in each telegram is the interval length.
A er that the date/ me for the end of the interval followed by the data value for that interval is sent out
All load pro le energy values and input counters are read as register values, that is snapshots of the register at the end of the interval. All other load pro le values, for example voltages, currents, power factors, THD's are read as interval average values.
All load pro le values have storage number 1 to indicate that it is stored historical data.
Status information
The manufacturer specific coding of the status information is used to indicate the following:
• Date/time was changed during the interval
• Data overflow in interval
• Intervals are too long or too short
• Power outage occurred during the interval
If one or several of these status events occur during an interval, the extra VIFE's FF FE 0x are sent out, where x is a bit 4-0 and have the following meaning if set:
| Bit 4 | Date/time was changed during the interval |
| Bit 3 | Data overflow in interval |
| Bit 2 | Power outage occurred during interval |
| Bit 1 | Short interval |
| Bit 0 | Long interval |

Comments
The demand data stored for a measured period is sent out in one or more telegrams depending on the number of channels that are used. The data that is sent out is interval and subinterval length, demand values for all channels and a date/time stamp for the end of the measured period. Each demand value is also followed by the date/time stamp for the end of the interval in which the minimum/maximum occurred.
The date/time information is sent out in format 6 byte BCD in order second, minute, hour, day, month and year.
The data for the currently pending period will be sent out with storage number set to 0, the most recent stored historical values will have storage number 1, the next set of historical values will have storage number 2 etc.
If data have not been generated for a quantity the demand value is set to 0 and status “data not available” (15 hex) and the date/time is set to 00-01-01 / 00:00:00. This is the case for the currently pending period before any demand have been stored, that is while the very first interval in a measurement period is pending. It will also happen if a particular tariff has not been active in a measurement period.
10.4.2.1 Examples of Readouts of Demand Data
Introduction
In the following is a number of commented practical examples of demand data. All data is in hexadecimal format. Comments are preceded by a semicolon.

Comments
Previous values data for all channels that is stored at the end of a period is sent out in one or more telegrams depending on the number of channels that are used. The most recent values are sent out first having storage number 1, then the second most recently stored values with storage number 2 and so on until all stored previous values have been read. Beside the previous register values a date/time stamp for the end of the period is sent out in the telegram. The date/time information is sent out in format 6 byte BCD in order second, minute, hour, day, month and year.

Note – Previous values are also sent out in a normal readout sequence. This sequence takes it start after the default telegrams that contain current values of energy registers, instrumentation values, etc...

Event Offset
The meter supports offset values 0 and -1 for reading the System, Event, Net Quality logs. If the offset mentioned is 0 then meter will read the log in the forward direction. If the offset value mentioned is -1 then it will read the data in the backward direction from the given date.
Data
The data will be sent out with 5 events in each telegram. If less than 5 events is stored in the meter for the specified date/time and offset all data in the telegram after the last stored event will have status byte marked as "no data available" (15 hex).
The data sent out for each event is:
• Event type (1 byte binary coded).
- Date/time stamp for start of the event (6 byte bcd in order sec:min:hour/day:month:year
• Duration of the event (in seconds)

About the data sent out
The meter will send out harmonic data for one phase in each telegram, which means 4 telegrams in a 3-element meter (for the 3 phase currents and the neutral), 2 telegrams in a 2-element meter (for the phase 1 and 3 currents) and 1 telegram in a single phase meter.
Data sent out will be the total harmonic distortion and the harmonics with numbers 2-16. Note that the total harmonic distortion is calculated from the harmonics measured and is thus not the true total harmonic distortion, which would require all harmonics (up to infinite frequency) to be measured.

Note – Data may temporarily be marked "not available" if there are disturbances on the net (for example due to short voltage dips) making the frequency measurement invalid. Also directly after startup all harmonics will be marked "not available" as they haven't been measured yet. As the harmonics are measured sequentially one at a time they will be available one by one.

About the data The meter will send out harmonic data for one phase in each telegram, which sent out means 6 telegrams in a 3-element meter, 3 telegrams in a 2-element meter and 1 telegram in a single phase meter.
Data sent out will be the total harmonic distortion and the harmonics with numbers 2-16. Note that the total harmonic distortion is calculated from the harmonics measured and is thus not the true total harmonic distortion, which would require all harmonics (up to infinite frequency) to be measured.

10.5 Sending Data to the Meter
General
This section describes the telegrams that can be sent to an EQ meter. Some of the telegrams contain data, others do not. Data sent in the telegram is sometimes stored in the meter, sometimes used by the meter to perform a certain action. Telegrams that contains no data usually initiates a certain action in the meter.
Write access level protection
Some of the commands can be protected by a password. There are 3 different levels of write access level protection:
- Open
- Open by password
- Closed
The write access level can be set either via the buttons directly on the meter or via communication using the set write access level command.
If the access level is set to Open, the meter will always accept the command as long as the the meter is properly addressed and the syntax and checksum are cor-rect.
If the access level is set to Open by password the specific command sent to the meter must be preceded by a send password command in order for the meter to accept the command.
If the access level is set to Closed the meter will not accept any command, but will just return an acknowledge character (E5 hex). To change this access level protection, the access level has to be set to Open via the buttons directly on the meter.

Note – Commands that are not affected by the write access level protection only require a correct message with correct address, syntax and checksum to be accepted.
10.5.1 Set tariff
For meters with tariff control the active tariff is set by sending the following command (all values are hexadecimal). The command is not affected by the write protection level set.
| Byte No. | Size | Value | Description |
| 1 | 1 | 68 | Start character |

| 12 | 1 | xx | CS checksum, calculated from C field to last data |
| 13 | 1 | 16 | Stop character |
10.5.2 Set primary address
The primary address is set by sending the following command (all values are hexadecimal). The command is not affected by the write protection level set.
| Byte No. | Size | Value | Description |
| 1 | 1 | 68 | Start character |
| 2 | 1 | 06 | L-field, calculated from C field to last user data |

| 10 | 1 | xx | New primary address |
| 11 | 1 | xx | CS checksum, calculated from C field to last data |
| 12 | 1 | 16 | Stop character |
10.5.3 Change baud rate
The baud rate of the electrical M-Bus interface is set by sending the following command (all values are hexadecimal). The command is not affected by the write protection level set.
After the baud rate has been changed a command must be sent to the meter (any command, for example NKE or REQ_UD2) that is received correctly by the me-ter before a certain time out time (normally 30 seconds) for the meter to keep the new baud rate. Otherwise the meter falls back to use the baud rate that was used before the baud rate change. This functionality is used to prevent changing to a baud rate that doesn't work for some reason.

Error investigation
If any of the negative power warnings are active when not expected so or the energy consumption is suspected to be wrong it is recommended to check the voltage, current, power and power factor values (under the menu Instantaneous Values) which can give hints of what can be wrong in the installation. To know what are reasonable values for power and power factors it is good to have knowledge of the load to have an idea of what values to expect.
Especially with transformer connected meters there are a rather big risk with installation errors. Current transformers can for example be connected with wrong polarity or the phase connections can be mixed on the primary and/or the secondary side. If the current and power values are low also check that the CT ratio is correctly set and that the secondary terminals are not short circuited (which they can be at installation to avoid high secondary voltages before or during installation of the meter). The voltage phase connections can also be mixed.
Normal values for the total power factor and the phase power factors in 3-element metering are values between 0.5 and 1.
Note that in 2-element-metering the power and the power factors in the two elements can be significantly different if the load have a reactive component (for example an inductive component like a motor). If the power factor for a symmetrical load is less than 0.5 the power in one element can even be negative. The total power should however be positive if the load consumes energy and the total power factor should be reasonable.
