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.

28

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.

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:

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

ProData II

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.

Pulse duration

> 20 ms

Pulse interval

> 20 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 x 1010 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:

Measurement value = pulse x pulse value

Power value calculation:

Power value =

pulse x pulse value

Time [sec]

31

ProData II

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.

Events

Events are status changes of the relevant digital inputs
that are logged in a ring buffer.

Status changes (events):

ProData II

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 II

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.

34

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.

ProData II

Recordings

Recordings with static access (SCADA systems):

• Differential monthly values (without tariff) and
the maximum power values are saved for each
digital input for the current and previous year.

• Static recordings such as work values of the pulse
inputs (pulse number x factor) and the minimum/
maximum values of the temperature input are
stored in the flash memory every 3 minutes.

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.

35

ProData II

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.

Tariff 2 (1 = tariff set)

Tariff 1 (0 = not set)

Example of tariff 2 set: If the value is set to address 1940,
the tariff conversion for digital input 1 applies.

In addition to the tariff conversion, the individual tariffs
are to be activated via Modbus addresses 1700 (tariff 1)
to 1707 (tariff 8).

ProData II

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

Fig.: GridVis software, configuration menu

C

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

Ethernet

ProData II

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.

39

ProData II

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.

Battery

ProData II

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
can be read via the Modbus (address 4942) / Ethernet using
the GridVis software. If the battery
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

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

1. To change the battery, the device must be switched off.

2. 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.

3. Open the battery compartment on the front of
the device.

4. Remove the battery from the battery compartment,
e.g. using long-nose pliers.
