Readback Mode

The data client uses the indexed read method to read harmonic
analysis and individual harmonic data. The options include the
following:

Auto-increment (0): increments the channel after each read of
the

Harmonic Results; THD, Crest Factor, and More

table. This

also controls the read-back channel for individual harmonics
results tables. If you use the auto-increment mode, read any
desired individual harmonic data for the current channel before
the next read of the

Harmonic Results; THD, Crest Factor, and

More

table.

Manual-increment (1): successive reads of the

Harmonic Results;

THD, Crest Factor, and More

table return harmonic results from

the current channel.

As with other indexed reads, DeviceNet and Ethernet networks
optional communication support only manual increment read-back
mode so that the client must write a read-back select message to
change the channel returned in the results table. For all other
communication options, auto-increment Read-back mode provides the
highest communication throughput.

Reading Harmonic Analysis Data

The power monitor presents harmonic analysis results in the

Harmonic Results; THD, Crest Factor, and More

table. This read-only

table contains 9 floating-point elements in the M4 and M5 models and
10 floating-point elements in the M6 and M8 models. The table
contains the following parameters.

Channel number: the voltage or current channel being returned.
See above

% IEEE THD: Total harmonic distortion in per cent based on the
IEEE definition. Range 0.0…1000.0

% IEC THD (DIN): Total harmonic distortion in per cent based
on the IEC definition. Range 0.0…1000.0

Crest factor: Range 0…10

THD & Crest iteration: each new calculation increments by one
from 0…32,767 and rolls back to 0

TIP

The remaining elements are reserved in the M4 and M5 models and
return values of 0.
