General informations
Functions
The optional IP Communication module must be connected
to the SM103E. It provides an RS485 serial link (2 or 3 wires)
with JBUS/MODBUS®protocol for the use of SM103E from
a PC or PLC.
• the packing is in good condition
• the product has not been damaged during transit
• the product reference number conforms to your order
• the package contains the product and the operating
instructions.
General points
For a standard configuration, an RS485 link is used to
connect up to 31 SM102E or SM103E with a PC or a PLC
over a distance of 1200 metres, using JBUS/MODBUS
protocol.

Recommendations
You should use a shielded twisted pair (LIYCY type). In a
disturbed environment or large network (in terms of
length) we recommend the use of a shielded twisted pair
(type LIYCY-CY).
A repeater (1 channel) or an arrestor (4 channels) should
be used if you intend to exceed the distance (1200 m.)
and/or maximum number (31) of SM103E.
Please contact us for more information.

N.B.
A 120 ohm resistance (found on the additional module)
must be fixed at both ends of the link.

Communication
The JBUS/MODBUS®used by the SM103E involves a
dialogue using a master-slave hierarchical structure.
There are two possible dialogues:
• the master communicates with a slave and waits for its
reply.
• the master communicates with all the slaves without
waiting for their reply.
The mode of communication is the RTU (Remote Terminal
Unit) using hexadecimal characters of at least 8 bits.
The standard communications frame
The standard communications frame consists of:
Slave address Function code Address Data CRC 16
According to the JBUS/MODBUS®protocol, transmission
time must be less than 3 silences, i.e. the emission time
of 3 characters so that the message is processed. To
correctly use information, the following functions are
important:
3 : to read n words (maximum 128).
6 : to write one word.
8 : to diagnose exchanges between the master and the
slave via meters 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
16 : to write n words (maximum 128).
N.B.
When selecting slave address 0, a message is sent to all
the instruments present on the network (only for functions
6 and 16)
Comment
T he response time (time out question/answer) is 250 ms
maximum.
C ommunication table
The communication tables are available on the CD-Rom supplied with the RS485 JBUS/MODBUS®for SM103E.
