Screening
Twisted screened cable should be used for connections via the RS485 interface.
- Earth the screens of all cables that lead to the cabinet upon entering the cabinet.
- Connect the screens over a generous area and in a manner that will conduct well to a low-noise earth.
- Gather the cables mechanically above the earthing clamp in order to avoid damage due to cable movements.
- Use suitable cable glands to feed the cables into the cabinet - e.g. armoured conduit couplings.
Cable type
The cable used must be suitable for an environmental temperature of at least 80 °C.
Recommended cable types:
Unitronic Li2YCY(TP) 2x2x0.22 (from Lapp Kabel)
Unitronic BUS L2/FIP 1x2x0.64 (from Lapp Kabel)
Maximum cable length
1200 m at a baud rate of 38.4 kbits.

Fig. Screening procedure at cabinet entry.
Bus structure
- All devices are connected in a bus structure (line) and each device has its own address within the bus (see also Parameter programming).
- Up to 32 subscribers can be connected together in a single segment.
- The cable is terminated with resistors (bus termination 120Ohm, 1/4W) at the beginning and at the end of a segment.
- With more that 32 subscribers, repeaters (amplifiers) must be used to connect the individual segments.
-
Devices for which the bus connection is switched on must be under current.
-
It is recommended that the master be placed at the end of a segment.
- If the master is replaced with a bus connection, the bus must be switched off.
- Replacing a slave with a bus connection that is either switched on or de-energised can destabilise the bus.
- Devices that are not connected to the bus can be replaced without destabilising the bus.

Temperature measurement input
Temperature sensors with a resistance region of between 60 Ohm and 2.6 kOhm can be connected to the temperature measurement input. Do not exceed the total resistance load (sensor + cable) of 4 kOhm.
The temperature measurement value is determined once per second. The sensor type and the desired temperature offset can be set using the GridVis software or a Modbus.

Example:
3-line connection PT100
Example:
2-line connection PT1000
Example:
2-line connection KTY83

When connecting the KTY83/84 sensor, correct polarity must be ensured. The negative connection (indicated with a black ring) must be connected to terminal 25.
Device address (RS485)
If multiple devices are connected to each other via the RS485 interface, a master device can only identify the devices by their device address. Within a network, each device must have its own device address.
The device address can be confi gured via the rotary switch that is available on the ProData 2. In this way addresses can be set in the range of 1 to 99.
X10 X1


The device address 0 0 is reserved and may not be assigned for operation with Modbus communication.


The device address 99 is reached by setting the rotary switch X10 to 9 and X1 to 9. A device address with a higher value cannot be set for the ProData 2.


Example: Setting the device address to 13.


Factory setting: Device address 1.

DIP switch S1
If the ProData 2 is integrated into a bus via the RS485 interface, a termination resistor has to be set (see the RS485 interface, termination resistors chapter) depending on the placement of the ProData within the segment.
Termination within the device is possible via the S1 DIP switch of the ProData 2.
Service button S2
The service button is only to be used by instructed service employees and must not be pressed by those who are not acquainted with it.
| LED Function | |
| Red/Green Shows the initialisation process during the start phase (approx. 15 seconds) | |
| Green Device is operational | |
| Red Device error | |
| Red (flashes) | Set date/time |
| Red/Green If the start process is complete and both LEDs are still illuminated, the initialisation process was interrupted. Perform a device update (firmware) via the software. | |
LED device status
The status LEDs below the RS485 interface show different states of the device. During the start process, the red and the green LEDs illuminate at the same time. Once the start process is complete (approximately 15 seconds), the red LED illuminates; the green LED indicates flawless operation of the device.

ProData 2
Configuration and commissioning
Connecting the supply voltage
The supply voltage must be connected to configure and commission the ProData 2.
The supply voltage level for the ProData 2 is specified on the rating plate.
RS485 interface
The following parameters must be set to operate the RS485 interface:
- Device termination (termination resistor)
- Device address (see the device address chapter)
- Baud rate
- Stop bits
The factory settings and the setting area for the baud rate are specified in the parameter list.
Device termination (termination resistor)
For fault-free operation of the devices within a bus structure, termination resistors must be set at the start and the end of a segment. If the ProData 2 is at the start or the end of a segment, a termination can be switched via the DIP switch S1.

ON: Device termination active (120 Ohm) OFF: Device termination inactive

Baud rate
A common baud rate can be adjusted for the RS485 interface. The baud rate must be selected consistently in the grid and set via address 002.
Address 004 can be used to set the number of stop bits where 0=1 bit (factory setting) and 1=2 bits. Data bits (8) and parity (none) are fixed default values.
| Setting Baud rate |
| 0 9.6kbps |
| 1 19.2kbps |
| 2 38.4kbps |
| 3 57.6kbps |
| 4 115.2kbps (factory setting) |
ProData 2
Digital inputs
The ProData 2 features 15 digital inputs, which are subdivided into three groups of 5 inputs:
- The status of each of the inputs is shown by the corresponding LED. The corresponding LED illuminates green if there is a signal on this interface.
- The GridVis software can be used to assign a name, unit and description to each digital input.
- The states of the digital inputs are each located on their own Modbus address.
- The last 16 switches (events) are logged with a time stamp for each digital input.
- Digital inputs 1-10 can be configured as functional inputs. Operating these inputs as pulse counters is not possible in this configuration.
- A tariff selection can be assigned to each digital input where only the highest activated tariff runs.
Functional attributes
Specific functions can be assigned to digital inputs 1 - 10. In this function mode, operating these inputs as pulse counters is not possible.
Digital input 1 to 8:
Configuration as tariff converter
Digital input 9:
Synchronisation of the internal clock; choosing between minute or hour synchronisation is possible. However, synchronisation is also possible via a Modbus address.
Digital input 10:
Reset for the synchronisation values (see notes). You also have the option of resetting the mean values via a Modbus address.
Pulse counters
All digital inputs can be operated with a frequency of 25 Hz. Here, the pulse duration and the pulse interval must be greater than 20 ms. The typical pulse duration for S0 pulses is 30 ms.

The maximum number of pulses per hour is based on the minimum pulse duration and the minimum pulse interval:
| Pulse length | Pulse interval Max. pulse/h |
| 20 ms 20 ms | 90 000 pulse/h |
| 30 ms 30 ms | 60 000 pulse/h |
| 50 ms 50 ms | 36 000 pulse/h |
| 100 ms 100 ms | 18 000 pulse/h |
| 500 ms 500 ms | 3600 pulse/h |
| 1 s 1 s 1800 pulse/h | |
| 10 s 10 s 180 pulse/h | |
Examples of the maximum possible number of pulses per hour.
The pulse counters can be configured with a simultaneous measurement value or power calculation. The pulses are counted as 64-bit numbers and overflow after approximately 1.17 × 10^10 years of continuous operation (25 Hz).
Pulse value:
A pulse value can be assigned to each digital input. Use the impulse value to specify the measurement value or power value (e.g. energy) to which a pulse should correspond.
Measurement value calculation:
$$ \text { Measurement value } = \text { pulse } \times \text { pulse value } $$
Power value calculation:
$$ \text { Power value } = \frac {\text { pulse x pulse value }}{\text { Time [sec] }} $$
ProData 2
S0 power values
Since the pulse interval may be very large, continual calculation of the measurement or power values is not possible. For this reason, only the mean values are calculated. For measurement value calculation, the mean values are calculated from the number of pulses per period multiplied by the pulse value. For power value calculation, this value must be divided by the amount of time that can be set.
The period is assigned to the digital input and can be set in a region of 1 to 60 minutes. After the period ends, the value can be called via the Modbus.
For each digital input, an external synchronisation can be triggered; in this case, a synchronisation pulse completes one period and starts a new period. A fixed capture period of 30 seconds is preset for external synchronisation. If no synchronisation pulse exists after the period expires, a maximum of 30 seconds is waited and the software then carries out the synchronisation. All further periods are synchronised by the software.
A period of 15 min is the factory setting.

The calculation result for the S0-power value is not until the end of the cycle available.
Events
Events are status changes of the relevant digital inputs that are logged in a ring buffer.
Status changes (events):

Event: 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
The ring buffer saves the last 16 events for each digital input and specifies the time stamp and the current status. Within the ring buffer, the event field with the index 0 always describes the current status of the relevant digital input.

ProData 2
Clock
The internal device clock is recorded in UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) format with a resolution of 1 second and converted into the local time via a possible configuration of the time zone and the switch between daylight saving time and standard time.
The time can be read and set via a Modbus address. The GridVis software can be used as a user-friendly way to set the clock.
A minute or hour synchronisation of the time takes place via digital input 9.
Example:
| Current device time Time after minute pulse | |
| 15:05:51 15:06:00 | |
| 15:05:11 15:05:00 | |
| Current device time Time after hour pulse | |
| 15:05:11 15:00:00 | |
When synchronising the time via Ethernet (NTP), the external clock is only set and is read during a restart. The NTP service can receive broadcasts (passive) or send queries to an NTP server (active). In active mode, an NTP server with the IP address must be set. A name resolution is not possible.
Timer
In the ProData 2, 64 independent weekly timers can be set; here, the resolution is 1 minute. The weekly timer defines an active period within a day; the active day must be released within a week.
Example of an active period:
From 9:25 to 11:45 am Sunday, Monday and Friday
The weekly timers can be configured as tariff converters (1..8), setting digital outputs 1-3, but also as "inoperable". The status can always be queried via the Modbus. The states of the timer are linked via an OR operator to the digital output.
The weekly timer must be set using the GridVis software.
Recordings
Recordings in the data flash (for GridVis software):
- Up to 8 recordings with up to 29 values can be stored in the ProData 2.
- The smallest time basis for recordings is 1 minute and the largest time basis is 60 min.
- Recordings and the names of the power values can be adjusted and extended via the GridVis software.
Data memory
The size of the ProData 2's flash memory is 32 MB; 24 MB is available for recordings and 5 MB is available for the cyclical drawings of the work values.
Recording all 15 channels at a recording interval of 15 minutes results in a recording depth of approximately 1024 days.
The memory is read or deleted via a Modbus or via the GridVis software.
ProData 2
Rate conversion
A tariff selection of 1 to 8 can be assigned to each digital input; the tariffs can be activated via digital inputs 1-8, via a Modbus and via the timer. Each input can be reset individually via the GridVis software.
The tariff conversion via Modbus takes place via addresses 1940 (for digital input 1) to 1954 (digital input 16). The relevant tariff is to be selected by setting or deleting bits 0 to 7. Only the highest-value tariff is evaluated.
Bit: 01234567

Example of tariff 2 set: If the value is set to address 1940, the tariff conversion for digital input 1 applies.
Bit-by-bit representation of the tariff conversion
| Tariff T1 | T2 | T3 | T4 | T5 | T6 | T7 | T8 | ||||
| Bit 0 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | |||||

| ... ... | |||||||||||
| 15 | 1954 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |||
Example: For digital input 1, tariff 2 is set, for input 15, tariff 3 is set.
In addition to the tariff conversion, the individual tariffs are to be activated via Modbus addresses 1700 (tariff 1) to 1707 (tariff 8).
| Address | Tariff | |
| 1700 | 1 | 0 = tariff deactivated, 1 = tariff activated |
| 1701 | 2 | 0 = tariff deactivated, 1 = tariff activated |
| 1702 | 3 | 0 = tariff deactivated, 1 = tariff activated |
| ... | ... ... | |
| 1707 | 8 | 0 = tariff deactivated, 1 = tariff activated |
Temperature measurement input
The temperature measurement value is determined once per second. The sensor type and the desired temperature offset can be set using the GridVis software or a Modbus.
Threshold value monitoring of the temperature measurement input is possible using a comparator. The results of the comparator can be combined with the OR operator.
The combination result of the comparator group can be assigned to digital output 1.
Sensor types:
- PT100 / PT1000
- KTY83 / KTY84

Threshold value monitoring can be adjusted clearly in the GridVis software. A connection between the ProData 2 and the PC via an interface is required to use the GridVis software.

Ethernet
Within an Ethernet, each device has a unique TCP/IP address that can be assigned manually or from a DHCP server.
Fixed IP address:
In simple networks without a DHCP server, the network address of the ProData 2 must be set via a Modbus or via the GridVis software.
BootP:
BootP allows for fully-automatic integration of the ProData 2 into an existing network. However, BootP is an older protocol and does not provide the scope of functions provided by DHCP.
DHCP mode:
DHCP allows for fully-automatic integration of a ProData 2 into an existing network with a DHCP server without additional configuration. When started, the ProData 2 automatically obtains the IP address, the network mask and the gateway from the DHCP server.
Factory default settings: Fixed IP address
IP address 10.10.10.200
Subnet mask 255.0.0.0
DHCP
deactivated

Caution!
Connection of the ProData 2 to the Ethernet may only be carried out after discussion with the network administrator.

Caution!
The device is factory-set to the fixed IP address 10.10.10.200 (subnet mask 255.0.0.0). The allocation of a dynamic IP address is disabled.
The settings can be changed via a suitable Ethernet connection using the GridVis software.
Modbus gateway
The ProData 2 can be set as a Modbus gateway with the following limitations:
- In this mode, the ProData 2 cannot be used as a Modbus RTU slave device.
- In this mode, the ProData 2 converts Modbus TCP packages from port 502 (only TCP) to Modbus RTU and sends these via the RS485 interface. If a response is received via the RS485 interface within a timeout period that can be set, this is converted to Modbus TCP again and sent via the IP connection.
- The ProData 2 can only forward queries (e.g. from the GridVis software) to a Modbus slave device. It CANNOT query Modbus slave devices independently.

ProData 2
Battery
The internal clock is fed from the supply voltage. If the supply voltage fails then the clock is powered by the battery.
The clock provides date and time information, e.g. for the records and events.
The life expectancy of the battery is at least 5 years with a storage temperature of +45 °C. The typical life expectancy of the battery is 8 to 10 years.
The battery status (full capacity, undervoltage, no capacity) can be read via the Modbus (address 4942) / Ethernet using the GridVis software. If the battery is exhausted and no time synchronisation (NTP) is set, the software takes the last valid time stamp from the memory and resumes from there.
The following chapter provides information about changing the battery.
| Modbus Address | Bit Status description | |
| 4942(short, 16-bit) | 0 • | Battery capacity exhausted• Clock has stopped and must be set if necessary• Battery should be replaced |
| 1 • | Battery capacity nearly exhausted• Battery should be replaced | |
| 2 • | Battery capacity low• Battery should be replaced | |
Table: Battery status
(can be read via Modbus in address 4942).
Replacing the battery
If the battery capacity that is displayed by the GridVis software is in the "Undervoltage" range, we recommend changing the battery.
If the capacity of the battery is too low and a time synchronisation via NTP is not set, the device software takes the last valid time stamp and resumes it.
The battery is replaced via the battery insert provided on the front of the device. Ensure that the correct type of battery is used here and observe correct polarity when changing it. Information about polarity is provided on the battery insert cover.
Procedure
- To change the battery, the device must be switched off.
- Discharge any electrostatic charge in your body, e.g. by touching an earthed cabinet or metal part (radiator) connected to the earth of the building.
- Open the battery compartment on the front of the device.
-
Remove the battery from the battery compartment, e.g. using long-nose pliers.
-
Ensure that the polarity is as shown on the battery compartment and slide the replacement battery into the battery compartment. Use a battery compliant with the description in the technical data for this. The battery must fulfil the safety requirements of UL1642. Otherwise, there is a risk of combustion or explosion.
- Close the battery compartment with the relevant cover.
- Dispose of the old battery according to the legal regulations.

Grease or dirt on the contact surfaces form a transfer resistance that will shorten the life of the battery. Only touch the battery at the edges.

Make sure that the correct type of battery is used and observe correct polarity when changing it.
