P485 MODBUS TO PROFIBUS CONVERTER – USER GUIDE

APPLICATION EXAMPLE

SYSTEM SETUP

This chapter describes how to set up the P485 with MM2 relay and PQMII meter to read
and write parameters. It can also be used as a guideline to setup the P485 Modbus to
Profibus Converter for communication with any GE Multilin relays.

The PQMII and MM2 devices are serially connected (daisy-chained) through RS485. The
following data is set up for the PQMII:

Read phase current Ia, Ib, and Ic actual values from memory locations 0240h to 0242h

Read average current from memory location 0244h

Read neutral current from memory location 0245h

Read average phase voltage from memory location 0286h to 0287h

The following data is set up for the MM2:

Read motor status from memory location 0023h

Read switch input status from memory location 0010h

Read motor load from memory location 0035h

Read thermal capacity from memory location 0036h

Read metered voltage from memory location 0040h

The START A (command code 0x0005) and STOP (command code 0x0004) commands
using Modbus function 10h: Preset multiple registers.

The memory addresses below are taken from the PQMII and MM2 instruction manuals
available at

http://www.GEmultilin.com

. For the PQMII, we have:

For the MM2, we have:

The write command returns data in the response that should not be visible from the
Fieldbus. Also, the write commands should only be sent if the data from the Profibus
master has changed.

If the P485 detects a timeout while talking to the devices (PQMII and/or MM2), it should try
to re-establish communications before it considers the device in subnet is missing
(Number of retries), and then try again after some time (Reconnect time).

The serial communication parameters are set to 19200 bps, with no parity, 1 stop bit, and
8 data bits. The physical interface is set to RS485.
