INTRODUCTION

PowerScout meters monitor the voltage, current, power, energy, and many other electrical parameters on single- and three-phase electrical systems. A PowerScout meter uses direct connections to each phase of the voltage, and uses current transformers to monitor each phase of the current. Information on energy use, demand, power factor, line frequency, and more are derived from the voltage and current inputs.

The communications interface to the meters is an RS-485 serial or Ethernet connection that uses the BACnet Master Slave Token Passing (MS/TP) protocol or Modbus protocol for sending commands and retrieving data. A separate remote terminal unit (RTU), Data Logger, or Building Management and Control System is usually connected to the PowerScout to provide data recording and trend logging plus a human interface or display.

POWERSCOUT 3037 SERIAL/ POWERSCOUT 3037 ETHERNET

The PowerScout 3037 is light-weight and compact enough to mount within an electrical panel. It is used for long-term monitoring of electrical systems.

Up to 127 PowerScout 3037 serial meters may be connected to a single BACnet MS/TP network for

monitoring and recording power usage at multiple locations within a single site. Up to 247 serial meters may be connected to a Modbus RTU network. You may connect as many Ethernet units as equal to the amount of available IP Addresses.

There is a configurable digital pulse output port on the PowerScout 3037 that can be used to output kWh, kVARh, or kVAh pulses to external devices, or to toggle on and off to control a remote device or relay.

PowerScout 3037 Optional Digital Display

An optional visual display is available on the PS3037 which cycles through meter information and realtime values of Volts, Amps, KW, KVA, KVAR, etc. See Appendix.

Unpacking the Unit

Your PowerScout meter comes with documents such as the Certificate of Calibration (COC) that has information about the meter and is valuable for tech support. Be sure to set these documents aside in a safe place when not in use.

If a Comm package was purchased as well, look for the ViewPoint software and the USB adapter. Verify that all connectors are included (CT, voltage, comm, pulse).

Table I-1: Technical Specifications

PREPPING FOR FIELD INSTALLATION

There are multiple tasks that are typically completed before heading to the field, usually by your technical support personnel. These include determining how to communicate with the meter, setting address switches, installing ViewPoint, etc. Communication configuration must be set up in the ViewPoint software even if you use a separate logger to record data. The more tasks completed before installation means less time in the field.

These determinations figure into how you set up the PowerScout meter for operation:

 BACnet vs. Modbus

Set the network address switches on the meter to either Modbus or BACnet

 RS-485 vs. Ethernet

The type of connection is part of the configuration set up in the ViewPoint software

 Laptop/PC for setup verification via USB

A convenient method for setup before going in the field, and once in the field, to easily read real-time values

NOTE: Installation of the ViewPoint tested with a meter prior to the field installation. A USB cable can be used when configuring the meter in this manner.

software and a communication cable should be completed and

Installing the ViewPoint Software

The ViewPoint software is designed to let you easily configure the PowerScout for different current transformers, check readings, and verify correct setup. All of DENT Instruments PowerScout meters use ViewPoint software to communicate with the meter. It needs to be installed on any computer talking to the PowerScout

3037. ViewPoint is compatible with Windows® 7 (32 or 64 bit), Windows® 8 Pro, Vista (32 or 64 bit), or XP.

 Insert the ViewPoint CD into the CD-ROM drive.

The installer starts automatically. If it does not, browse to the CD and locate the ViewPointInstaller.exe program. Start the installer by double-clicking ViewPointInstaller.exe.

The Communication screen is displayed when ViewPoint is first started. This is where the software networking parameters are entered to match the PowerScout networking configuration (meter type, COM port, baud rate, base address, etc.). ViewPoint remembers your last connection and displays those previous selections when opening the software once again.

NOTE: ViewPoint software serves several functions, such as setting up a meter, getting real-time values, and read/write registers and objects, but for the purpose of prepping for field installation only three are important to the process: Communications, Meter Setup, and Comms Setup. The other functions are described later in this document.

DID YOU KNOW? ViewPoint may be installed on multiple computers.

Connecting a Communication Cable

There are various ways to communicate with a PowerScout meter and how you do so will determine what type of cabling system you will use. To set up the meter, communication can be established with a USB cable, an RS-485 adapter, or an Ethernet cable. Once in the field, communication between a PowerScout meter and a logger is established with a RS-485 or an Ethernet connection. A RS-485 connection is limited in speed while an Ethernet connection is much faster.

NOTE: PowerScout meters are ordered from DENT Instruments based on the type of desired connection.

CONNECTING AND COMMUNICATING VIA A USB OR RS-485 ADAPTER

A type AB USB cable may be used between a PC and a PS3037 meter and is the preferred method for setting up a PS3037 with Modbus protocols. The USB cable will also power the meter when connected to a PC. When using a USB cable with a PC, each USB port on the PC generates a unique comm port in the ViewPoint software, such as Com3 or Com4.

NOTE: A USB driver is installed when you install the ViewPoint software.

ViewPoint can read information through a USB, an RS-485 isolated COM port, or an Ethernet connection. When the RS-485 connection is selected a base address is required (the base address is the rotary switch settings). Address switches are ignored by both USB and Ethernet. When the Ethernet connection is selected an IP address is required. The screen display changes based on your connection selection.

The USB connector on the PowerScout 3037 can be used to power the unit when configuring it using

ViewPoint and Modbus protocols.

If connecting with a USB cable is not practical, the use of an RS-485 to USB adapter connected to your PC may be used for communicating with your PowerScout. First, install the driver on the computer and then complete the connection between the meter and the computer by plugging the RS-485 connector into the meter.

DID YOU KNOW? If an RS-485 adapter is used instead of a USB, an RS-485 driver must be installed

properly.

Installing the RS-485 Adapter on a Computer

NOTE: If ViewPoint was installed first, it needs to be restarted following an RS-485 driver installation. If

an RS-486 port does not appear in the drop-down list, the RS-485 was not installed correctly.

1) Insert the CD that came with the RS-485 adapter into your computer.

2) Insert one end of a USB cable into the RS-485 adapter and the other end into a USB port on the computer.

3) The Found New Hardware Wizard window appears.

The window states “This wizard helps you install software for: Model USOPTL4,” and asks “What do you want the wizard to do?”

4) Select Install the software automatically and click Next.

5) Click Finish when the installation is complete.

6) Remove the CD from your computer.

Connecting the Adapter to the

Figure II-3: RS-485 Connector on PS3037

Meter

The three wires coming from the RS-485 adapter are plugged into the COM connector. Insert each white ferrule into the appropriate slots on the connector. The red wire inserts in the left slot (+), the black wire in the middle slot (-), and the green wire in the right slot (Shield), Figure II-1 and Figure II-3. Verify that the dip switches on the back of the RS-485 adapter are set to RS-485, Echo Off, 2 Wire, 2 Wire as shown in Figure II-2 before plugging the adapter into the PowerScout 3037.

NOTE: USB is always active on the PS3037 (and the protocol is Modbus over the USB virtual

communications port).

NOTE: If ViewPoint was installed first, it needs to be restarted following a RS-485 driver installation. If a RS-485 port does not appear in the drop-down list, the RS-485 was not installed correctly.

1) Select USB/RS-485 (MSTP) as your communication type.

2) Select PS/PS3037.

3) When connecting with an RS-485, enter a base address that matches the switches on the PowerScout. A USB connection ignores address switches. See Setting the Network Address Switches below.

4) When connecting with an RS-485, select Modbus or BACnet as your communication protocol. When communicating over USB, whether the PS3037 is configured for Modbus or BACnet mode, the PS3037 will communicate over the Modbus protocol.

5) Select the PC COM Port from the drop-down list. For a USB connection, select “COMxx DENT USB” in the field, where “xx” is the port number. For an RS-485 connection using an RS-485 adapter, select COMxx RS-485 Isolated Port (COMxx) where "xx' is the COM port number.

Default settings are used for the two remaining fields: Data Bits is 8N1 and the Baud Rate is 9600. When BACnet is selected as your protocol an additional read-only field appears displaying the BACnet Device ID.

The rotary switches are 16-position, hexadecimal switches. The default factory setting is hex 01. The address is a hexadecimal (hex) value, represented by the digits 0 through 9 and letters A through F. For example, a network address of 100 in decimal is converted to 64 hexadecimal and set on the PowerScout 3037 by:

 MSB switch—select 6

 LSB switch—select 4

In some cases the hex value may need to be converted to decimal when entered into the RTU or data logger. See the Appendix for a hexadecimal conversion table.

The BACnet MS/TP MAC and Modbus address is a decimal value, represented by three digits: 000 through 009, 010-090, and 100-999.

Note: BACnet MS/TP masters only support addresses 001–127.

Communication Error

If ViewPoint is unable to communicate with the PowerScout, the Status window displays the following message in the Status field:

“Unable to establish connection with meter, please check settings and try again.”

Try the following to resolve the communication error on a serial PowerScout:

 No RS-485 option available in the PC COM Port drop-down list—indicates the PowerScout is not

properly connected or the required software driver is not installed.

 Modbus Base Address Switch does not match the selected hex switch settings on the

PowerScout—change the switch settings.

 The selected Baud Rate does not match the PowerScout baud rate—change the baud rate.

For more information, refer to the Appendix, Troubleshooting Communication Issues.

CONNECTING AND COMMUNICATING VIA AN ETHERNET (TCP/IP) CONNECTION

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the PowerScout and the other end into your computer or network. To begin communicating via an Ethernet cable you must first set it up within the ViewPoint software that came with the meter. See Ethernet (TCP/IP) Connection in the Communicating with a PowerScout Meter section.

The meter will require power to communicate over Ethernet. Power can be supplied by connecting the USB or voltage lines 1 and 2.

PowerScout 3037

Figure II-4: Ethernet Connection

Keep in mind that the Ethernet connection must have an IP Address in the ViewPoint software that can either be set manually within the software with the Use Static IP address option (for a fixed address) or obtained automatically from the router connected to the logger using the Use DHCP option (dynamic address). Both options have advantages. See About IP Addresses further in this document.

NOTE: When Ethernet is connected, any RS-485 connection is inactivated. The PS3037 must be power cycled with the Ethernet cable removed in order to activate the RS-485 interface.

1) Select Ethernet (TCP/IP) to gather information via a network connection. When selected, the Communications Setup screen changes and an IP Address is required as address switches are ignored.

2) Select your mode of communication.

3) Enter the IP Address for the Ethernet connection of the meter or select one of the previously used addresses from the drop-down list. See About IP Addresses on the following page.

-orUse the Scan Network or Setup buttons to acquire a new IP Address. See About IP Addresses on the

following page.

4) Enter the Port connected to the PowerScout. A checkbox is available to make the port the default. Different networks may require different ports. See your network administrator.

About IP Addresses

The Ethernet connection must have an IP Address that is set manually in the IP Address: field or obtained automatically from the router connected to the meter using the Use DHCP option (dynamic address) found in the Logger Network Setup dialog box accessed via the Setup button. Both options have advantages.

NOTE: A Static IP address of 192.168.1.10 is assigned in the factory to all Ethernet PowerScouts.

 Static Connection: If you know an IP address that is not being used by another device on the

network, enter that address into the IP Address: field. This may require permission from a network administrator. With a static IP address it is easy to connect to the meter as there is no doubt about what IP address to use.

 Dynamic Connection: If you want the router to assign an IP address to the meter automatically,

select Use DHCP. This may avoid the need of a network administrator as the router will assign an IP address that does not conflict with any other devices on the network. A disadvantage of the DHCP option is that the “lease” of the IP address may expire after a period of time and the router could assign a different IP address. A new IP address means that ViewPoint cannot connect to the meter until the new IP address has been entered. (See below.)

An additional option is to set the meter to DHCP and go to the router and assign a specific IP address to the MAC address that corresponds to the meter. In this way, if the lease does expire, the router will

always assign the same IP number back to the meter. This option may also require a network administrator. The Scan Network button scans the network for possible meters and displays them in the Logger

Selection dialog box. Look for the serial number on the meter (found on the back of the meter) to determine which connection point is yours.

 Select the correct device from the list of IP Addresses and click OK.

The Setup button displays the Logger Network Setup dialog box where network address information is entered. See your network administrator before making changes.

When you select the Use DHCP checkbox the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used to populate the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address fields automatically.

NOTE: Each meter connected to the network requires its own unique network IP address. An address is provided automatically if the network allows DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and the meter is configured to request an address.

 Click Update Logger after making your selections.

Version Control

Installed versions of the software and firmware are checked when first connecting the meter. A pop-up dialog box appears if either of those is out of date:

Thereafter, the software is checked once every seven (7) days for the current version. Firmware is checked each time the meter is connected. You can stop the check for updates by selecting the Don’t check online for firmware of ViewPoint updates check box.

Click OK to close the dialog box without updating.

-or-

Click Download to begin the updating process. The DENT Instruments Tech Support Downloads website appears with a link to the download. Once you have the file downloaded to your computer, use the Firmware tab to download the file to the meter.

Meter Setup

Once communications is established between the PC and the PowerScout, you are now ready to configure the meter for the field. This is accomplished in the Meter Setup tab of ViewPoint.

The Meter Setup screen allows unique changes to an element on the 3037. Within the element, CT Phase, Type, Amps, and Phase Shift are entered, based on wiring connection, for CT1, CT2, and CT3. The type of wiring connection and the Digital Output are also entered for the element. Overall, a Demand Window of 1–60 minutes is available for the recording of values and a Line Frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz is selectable. Also, the Volts Multiplier field can be altered when used with a step-down transformer to allow the meter to record values as if it was connected to a higher than 600V source.

NOTE: In PowerScout meters, Peak Demand is calculated using a moving window and is averaged across the selected demand window size. Each minute the total consumption is recalculated and compared to the last demand window. If the new window is larger than the last recorded value it is recorded. This value is calculated during the sampling of the waveform.

The Meter Setup screen is blank when first accessed. Click Retrieve Meter Setup to view the current status of the element. The Element Status dialog box displays while the element is read.

ENTERING WIRING INFORMATION FOR AN ELEMENT

Begin setup by entering an amount of time (1-60 minutes) into the Demand Window and selecting a Line Frequency from the drop-down list.

Use the following steps within an element:

1) Select WYE or DELTA as the wiring connection. NOTE: DENT Instruments recommends using 3 CTs in a WYE connection for Delta loads.

DID YOU KNOW: The

The use of Modbus protocols limits the data registers to a maximum of two bytes (16 bits) or a maximum decimal value of 65535. Modbus requires that the data be unsigned (positive) integer values. To overcome these limitations some measured (and stored) values must be scaled to fit into the Modbus registers. The raw value read from the Modbus registers is multiplied by a scalar to convert the raw data. The following table lists the data scalars and the respective values for the PowerScout.

Scalar Value

Data Scalar

Demand

Table II-6: Data Scalars and Values for Registers 44001 thru 44061

The data scalar is stored in register 44602. When selecting a data scalar, the following guidelines need to be considered:

 If the data scalar selected is too low, an incorrect data result is returned from the register.

 If the data scalar selected is too high, the significant digits following the decimal point are

removed.

After selecting a data scalar, the formula for calculating the actual value is:

Or, another way to state this formula is:

actual value/scalar value = register value

The following table is an example when selecting a data scalar for 3-phase loads based on the CT size or maximum current. These are the minimum recommended scalar settings.

Table II-7: Data Scalar Selection

Examples Using a Data Scalar

The following examples use kW throughout.

For example 1, the following data is used:

Volts x amps = watts 480 volts x 100 amps = 48,000 watts

Watts x 3 = system watts 48,000 watts x 3 = 144,000 watts (144kW)

Check the register’s value using the data scalar 2 value of .01:

System kW / scalar value = register value 144kW/.01 = 14,400

Since 14,400 is less than 65,535, using data scalar 2 is a good choice for this example.

For example 2, the following data is used:

480 volts x 1000 amps = 480,000 watts

480,000 watts x 3 = 1,440,000 watts (1,440kW)

Check the register’s value using the data scalar 1 value of .001:

1,440kW/.001 = 1,440,000

Since 1,440,000 is greater than 65,535, using data scalar 1 returns an incorrect result. Data scalar 1 is not an appropriate choice.

Reviewing this example using the data scalar 3 value of .1 provides the following result:

1,440kW/.1 = 14,400

Since 14,400 is less than 65,535, using data scalar 3 is a good choice for this example.

Values Requiring Two Registers

Additionally, some values (e.g., kilowatt hours) may cover a dynamic range that is larger than 65535 and require two Modbus registers. Any parameter in the Modbus Register Assignment tables that shows two registers (identified by the terms MSW (Most Significant Word) and LSW (Least Significant Word)) are examples of this wide-ranging parameter.

To interpret the values contained in these registers, the steps are:

1) Multiply the MSW register by 65536.

2) Add the result to the value found in the corresponding LSW register.

3) Multiply the result by the appropriate scalar value from Table II-6.

For example, assume that System Total True Energy (kWh) is desired and the value of 5013 is read from register 44001 (LSW) and 13 is read from register 44002 (MSW) and that the register 44602 data scalar is set to 3.

To calculate the total kWh recorded:

Multiply the MSW by 65536: 13 X 65536 = 851968 Add the LSW: 851968 + 5013 = 856981 Multiply by the scalar 3 value of 0.1: 856981 X 0.1 = 85698.1 kWh

Establishing Communication Protocol

The PowerScout communicates using the BACnet MS/TP or Modbus RTU protocols via the RS-485/Ethernet interface. To establish communication with a RS-485, the settings must meet the following requirements:

 The Modbus/BACnet address on the PowerScout and in the ViewPoint software must be set to

the same value.

 The PowerScout meter default serial parameters are:

Parameter

Defaults

Baud 9600 76800

Follow these steps to complete the field installation of your PowerScout meter:

 Connect whatever communications cable you are using to the building network.

 Connect your pulse output, if used. The port can be used to output kWh, kVARh, or kVAh pulses

to external devices, or to toggle on and off to control a remote device or relay. See Using the Pulse Output Port Function.

 Connect the CTs. See Wiring CTs.

 Connect the voltage and power the meter. See Connecting Voltage.

Using the Pulse Output Port Function

Pulse output is used to generate pulses for external devices such as data loggers that can accept pulses but do not have BACnet or Modbus capability. The PowerScout 3037 can generate pulses based on accumulated value(s) such as system kWh, system kVARh, and system kVAh. When a pulse is generated by the meter, the pulse LED will briefly flash, otherwise it will remain dark.

When in Modbus, the pulse output is scaled by the Modbus data scalar register 44602. When in BACnet, the pulse output is scaled by the CT Pulse Scalar object 12030. The pulse scalar table is the same as the Modbus data scalar table. For example, when the data scalar is set to 3, each pulse will represent .1kWh, .1kVAh and .1kVARh.

maintain 600VAC safety rating of the device) voltage leads as close as possible to a building-installed, dedicated circuit disconnect breaker. Mark the breaker as the “disconnect” for the PowerScout. Refer to the wiring diagrams for specifics of the wiring connections.

Follow local electrical codes during this installation. PowerScout meters are self-powered from the L1 and L2

lines. When 80–600VAC or DC is placed across the L1 and L2 wires, the three phasing LEDs begin to flash in sequence.

POWERSCOUT SINGLE-PHASE CONNECTIONS

The PowerScout meter can be used to monitor single-phase loads. There are several guidelines to keep in mind about this type of connection:

1) The PowerScout is powered from a potential between L1 and L2. This can be phase-to-phase (230V) or phase-to-neutral (115V). With a single-phase 230V panel, the L1 and L2 voltage leads are connected between the L1 and L2 voltage sources. With a 115V circuit, the L1 voltage lead is connected to the L1 “hot lead,” and the L2 voltage lead is connected to neutral.

2) Each CT must be paired with the correct voltage source. The current and voltage need to be in- phase for accurate measurements. For instance, CT 1 would monitor branch circuit supplied by voltage source L1, and so on.

3) The neutral must be connected because the PowerScout uses line-to-neutral measurements for all calculations.

A Typical 230V Single-Phase Panel Setup (US Wire Colors)

Connect the Black L1 voltage lead to Voltage L1, Red L2 voltage lead to L2 voltage, White Neutral voltage lead to neutral. CT1 would monitor L1 loads and CT2 would monitor L2 loads. Based on the above guidelines, CT3 can be used if the Blue L3 voltage lead is connected to either L1 or L2. As long as voltage lead L3 and CT3 are in-phase, the PowerScout meter will provide correct kW readings. If the Blue L3 voltage lead was connected to L2 voltage source, then CT3 could monitor any L2 branch circuit. Or, if the Blue L3 voltage lead was connected to L1 voltage source, then CT3 could monitor any L1 branch circuit.

A Typical 115V Single-Phase Panel Setup

Connect the Black L1 voltage lead to Voltage L1 (hot), Red L2 voltage lead to Neutral, and White N voltage lead to neutral. CT1 would monitor the L1 load. CT3 can be used if the Blue L3 voltage lead is connected to L1. CT3 could then monitor any L1 branch circuit.

System Values

System values are the sum of L1 + L2 + L3 measurements. System values may not be meaningful since two different devices or loads can be monitored by a single PowerScout element.

When paired with the right voltage phase, each CT provides individual kW/kWh readings for that CT channel.

Verifying Installation with PhaseChek

PhaseChek1 is a unique feature of the PowerScout series instruments that simplifies installation by ensuring proper CT orientation and avoiding faulty data collection.

Verifying the PowerScout Meter Setup Using the LEDs

The PowerScout 3037 uses three bi-color PhaseChek LEDs. These LEDs provide the following information:

 All LEDs are green—the system power factor is greater than 0.55 and the CTs are properly

placed on the corresponding voltage phases.

 Any one LED is red—there is a phasing connection error.

 Two LEDs are red and one is green—two CTs are reversed.

 All three LEDs are red—all CTs are incorrectly connected.

DID YOU KNOW? If the total system power factor is less than 0.55, the LEDs will be red even if connected properly. This situation is rare but could occur if, for example, the load to be monitored is a lightly loaded electric motor where it is common for the power factor to be less than 0.55 and the corresponding LEDs will be red.

The following table describes the PhaseChek error conditions and the appropriate correction.

Verifying Installation with the ViewPoint Software

In addition to verifying your connections with PhaseChek, you can also use the ViewPoint software to check connections. Any computer running ViewPoint software, whether a laptop connected directly to the meter, a smart phone, or a PC connected to the network can bring up the software and learn information about the connection, the communication protocols, meter setup, real-time values, and firmware version.

REAL-TIME VALUES

The Real-Time Values screen shows current readings to verify the system is configured properly. The tables display the real-time values of Volts, Amps, KW, KVA, KVAR, apparent power factor (aPF), and displacement power factor (dPF) for Phase L1, Phase L2 and Phase L3. This screen also displays the CT Type connected to the PowerScout and the CT Value.

Click Update to retrieve the values from the PowerScout.

-or-

Select the Auto-Update checkbox to automatically update approximately every 20 seconds.

Using Real-Time Values to Verify Setup

Values displayed for Volts, Amps, KW, etc., should make sense, meaning the values in the table are relevant for the service being measured. This indicates the PowerScout setup is correct.

It may also be useful to use a handheld amp meter to test the current and compare its readings to the values provided on the Real-Time Values screen.

Using the Optional Visual Display to Verify Real-Time Values

If your PS3037 meter has the optional visual display installed you can read real-time values directly from the meter. It has 2 rows of 16 characters along with a push button at one end of the PS3037 that controls the display scroll mode. When the display button is held down for 5 seconds the PS3037 will switch between AUTO CYCLE mode (switch screens every 2 seconds) or MANUAL CYCLE (the button must be pressed to switch screens). This change is saved to non-volatile memory.

When in auto cycle mode, the informational screens change every 2–3 seconds, with real-time values updated every second. The “display” button will stop the cycle until it is pressed again or until 20 seconds is reached. Some information, such as protocol, CT type, volts, amps, kW, pf, etc., is displayed during each cycle. See the Appendix for a chart showing complete cycle information.

DID YOU KNOW? Accumulated data is registers/objects with a time reference, such as time since reset, kWh, demands, etc.

Resetting BACnet Objects/Modbus Registers

Many of the PowerScout objects/registers are real-time values such as instantaneous watts or power factor. However, some objects are accumulated values such as kWh, kVARh, kVAh and various Peak Demand (kW) values.

To reset all BACnet accumulated objects at once:

 Write to object identifier 10140 “Clear Accumulated Values” current value 1234.0.

To reset all Modbus accumulated registers at once:

 Write to register 44066 “Clear Accumulated Measurements” current value 1234.

In ViewPoint, accumulating objects/registers can be reset using the Read/Set or Read/Write tab.

 Click Clear Totals at the bottom of the screen.

See the tables in the Appendices for a list all of the objects/registers available on the PowerScout meters.

PROTOCOL COMMANDS

The Modbus messaging protocol used for communication follows the Modbus RTU protocol described in this section. Each register read from or written to the PowerScout is a 16-bit unsigned, positive integer value. The PowerScout supports the following commands.

Command Name

Read Holding Registers 03 Used to read the data values from the PowerScout.

Write Single Register 06 Used to write a single holding register to a PowerScout.

Report Slave ID 11 Used to read information from the identified PowerScout.

Command

Number (Hex)

Description

Table IV-1: Supported Modbus Commands

The following guidelines are used for these Modbus commands:

 All values are hexadecimal, spaces are not included.

 The address is the value of the address switch on the PowerScout. This must be different for

each PowerScout on a single Modbus network.

 The register’s high-order and low-order bits are the 16-bit value of a single, or first, register to

be accessed for a read or write.

 The CRC is the 16-bit CRC value. Note that the CRC's LSB and MSB are reversed in comparison to

those for the registers and data.

Read Holding Registers

This command reads the contents of a contiguous block of holding registers containing data values from the PowerScout. When a read command is received, the PowerScout sends a response that includes the values of the requested registers.

Response: 37030200007040

The response is from the PowerScout at address 37. Two bytes were read from the requested register, 000C. The value of the registers read was 0000. The CRC value was

4070. The number of registers read must be between 1

and 125 inclusive.

ID YOU KNOW

register address in the read and write Modbus commands is not the register listed in the table, instead an abbreviated version is sent. The actual register address sent is the Modbus register value minus 40001. For example, the address sent in the command message for register 40025 is actually 0024 (0018 hexadecimal), and the address sent for register 44062 is actually 4061 (0FDD hexadecimal).

Write Single Register

This command writes to a single holding register of the PowerScout. The normal response is an echo of the request, returned after the register contents are written.

The response is from the PowerScout at address 37. One byte was written to at the requested register,

0000. The value written was 0000. The CRC value was 5C8C. An echo of the original command after the

contents are written is a valid response.

Error Response

If the first register in this write command is not in the valid range of registers, the PowerScout returns an error message.

Report Slave ID

Slave ID

The PowerScout uses the following default format for the slave ID:

DENT Instruments PowerScout 3037, Serial Number, FW Rev Major Revision. Minor Revision, Scalar X

Example:

DENT Instruments PowerScout 3037, PS3912001, FW Rev 1.0, Scalar 3

NOTE: See VERIS H8035/H8036 Emulation for slave ID structure while in Veris emulation.

ALL THINGS BACNET

The PS3037 supports writable max_master and max_info_frames properties in the device object for MS/TP networks. For best network performance, the max_master should be set to the highest MS/TP MAC address on the network.

The max_info_frames does not need to be changed in most installations.

The device ID property of the BACnet device object is also writable. All device IDs on a BACnet network must be unique.

The PS3037 Ethernet version can register as Foreign Devices to a BBMD. BBMD stand for BACnet/IP Broadcast Management Device. The address also can be written to BACnet object identifiers 14014 (BBMD IP Address LSW) and 14015 (BBMD IP Address MSW).

NOTE: The LSW/MSW are in network order.

For example to set the BBMD server to 192.168.1.100 you would write:

43200 (0xA8C0) to BBMD IP address LSW object identifier 14014

-and-

25601 to (0x6401) to BBMD IP address MSW object Identifier 14015

This sends the register as foreign device packet with a Time to Live (TTL) of 60000 seconds.

To disable BBMD foreign device registration write 0 to both BBMD IP address LSW (14014) and BBMD IP address MSW (14015) or simply write 0.0.0.0 to the BBMD field in the ViewPoint Comms Setup tab.

EDITABLE FIELDS

The Name, Location, and Description Notes fields are all editable with up to 32 characters. If the software you use to edit the fields adds characters to your input, you must include that count as part of your 32 character amount.

Appendix B—Connecting Multiple PowerScouts to an RS-485 Network

This section describes setting up a network with multiple PowerScout instruments using the BACnet or Modbus communication protocol. An RS-485 network can support up to 127 PowerScout 3037 instruments using the BACnet protocol and 247 PowerScout 3037 instruments using the Modbus protocol.

COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL

BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU are standard communication protocols that allow for communication between a client and multiple devices connected to the same network. RS-485 is the protocol standard used by PowerScout meters as the hardware’s physical interface while BACnet or Modbus is the networking protocol.

DAISY CHAIN LAYOUT FOR RS-485 NETWORK

When multiple devices are connected, the devices need to be connected in a daisy chain. A daisy chain means that all plus (+) connections are chained together and all minus (-) connections are chained together across the network.

A network containing multiple devices requires a unique address for each device. This allows the master device to identify and communicate with each slave. The BACnet/Modbus network administrator must assign a unique network address to each PowerScout 3037 using the rotary switches MSB and LSB.

Other network layouts, i.e., star, are not recommended when using the RS-485 standard.

NETWORKING USING THE BACNET MS/TP/MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL

1) Install the RS-485 cable on the RS-485 communications terminal block.

2) Set a unique address for each device using the table in Establishing Communication Protocol in the Prepping for Field Installation section.

Appendix C—VERIS H8035/H8036 Emulation

The PowerScout meter can be used as a direct replacement for the Veris, Inc. H8035/H8036 series of networked power meters. This mirroring of the Veris Modbus register assignments makes replacement with a PowerScout meter simple. However, because the number of parameters that the Veris meters measure is less than half of what the PowerScout the table need to be used to utilize the additional capabilities of the PowerScout.

Writing a 1 to register 44526 sets the Slave ID to Veris mode and ViewPoint lists the Veris registers in the ViewPoint Read/Write Registers tab.

When register 44526 contains a 1 for Veris mode, the Slave ID command format is:

91hFFh(Veris type), Full-Data, Modbus, (CT value) Amp

The following is an example command with CT set for 100A:

91hFFhVeris H8036-0100-2, Full-Data, Modbus, 100 Amp

Example command explanation:

 91h = version control

 FFh = standard for active

The 91h and FFh are 4 bytes in front of the string that are not displayed in the RTU.

Table C-3: Veris Multipliers for Integer Registers 40001-40027

Per the Veris implementation, to obtain true engineering units, the values returned from the registers in Table G-2 must be multiplied by the scaling values listed in Table G-3.

For example, if the PowerScout has 100A CTs connected to it, the system reactive power (kVAR) is calculated by:

 Read register 40004

 Multiply the value returned from register 40004 by 0.004
