1 Introduction

The Modbus-TCP protocol is a well-known factual automation standard. This document

describes ModBus-TCP functions related to communications in the SmartLogger.
This document provides details about the Modbus protocol used in the SmartLogger and
devices managed by the SmartLogger, such as inverters, environment monitor instrument, and
power meter. It can be used to regulate and restrict follow-up third-party integration R&D and
customizations.

RW signals are permanently valid, will be retained until updated the next time, and support
0X03, 0X06, and 0X10 instructions.

WO signals do not support the 0X03 query instruction, but support the 0X06 and 0X10
instructions.

RO signals support only the 0X03 instruction.

The MODBUS-TCP interface provided by the SmartLogger can directly access the inverter.
The built-in power interface of the SmartLogger can be used for array-level power
adjustment. If the power interface is used, the power adjustment instruction is first processed
by the SmartLogger and then forwarded to the inverter.

ModBus-TCP data frames identify devices by logic device IDs. The following table describes
how logic device IDs are allocated.

NOTE

The address of an access device is an RS485 address which can be read on the LCD or built-in WebUI

4.2.3 Data Encoding

Modbus uses a big-Endian to represent addresses and data. When multiple bytes are sent, the
payload digit leftmost is sent first.
Example:

Register Size Value

16 bits 0x1234

The system sends 0x12, and then sends 0x34.

4.2.4 Interaction Process

A communication process is always initiated by a master node. Slave nodes do not initiate
communication processes.
In unicast mode, a slave node returns one response for each request from the master node. If
the master node does not receive any response from the slave node in 5s, the communication
process is regarded as timed out.
In broadcast mode, slave nodes receive instructions from the master node, but do not respond
to the instructions.

99. If a request is submitted
with a starting register
address of 96 and a quantity
of registers of 5, then this
request will fail with
Exception Code 0x02
"Illegal Data Address" since
it attempts to perform
operations on registers 96,
97, 98, 99 and 100, and
there is no register with
address 100.

0x03 ILLEGAL DATA VALUE A value contained in the

query data field is not an
allowable value for server.
This indicates a fault in the
structure of the remainder of
a complex request, such as
that the implied length is
incorrect. It specifically
does not mean that a data
item submitted for storage in
a register has a value outside
the expectation of the
application program, since
the Modbus protocol is
unaware of the significance
of any particular value of
any particular register.

0x04 SERVER DEVICE An unrecoverable error

FAILURE occurred while the server
was attempting to perform
the requested action.

0x05 ACKNOWLEDGE Specialized use in

conjunction with
programming commands.
The server has accepted the
request and is processing it,
but a long duration of time
will be required to do so.
This response is returned to
prevent a timeout error from
occurring in the client. The
client can next issue a Poll
Program Complete message
to determine if processing is
completed.

0x06 SERVER DEVICE BUSY Specialized use in

conjunction with
programming commands.
The server is engaged in
processing a long–duration
program command. The
client should retransmit the
message later when the
server is free.

0x08 MEMORY PARITY Specialized use in

ERROR conjunction with function
codes 20 and 21 and
reference type 6, to indicate
that the extended file area
failed to pass a consistency
check. The server attempted
to read record file, but
detected a parity error in the
memory. The client can retry
the request, but service may
be required on the server
device.

4.3.6 Reading Device Identifiers (0X2B)

This command code allows reading identifiers and added packets that are relevant to the
physical and function description of the remote devices.

Simulate the port of the read device identifier as an address space. This address space consists
of a set of addressable data elements. The data elements are objects to be read, and the object
IDs determine these data elements.

A data element consists of three objects:

l Basic device identifier: All objects of this type are mandatory, such as the manufacturer
name, product code, and revision version.
l Normal device identifier:Except the basic data objects, the device provides additional
and optional identifiers and data object description. Normal device identifiers define all
types of objects according to standard definitions, but the execution of this type of
objects is optional.
l Extensive device identifier:Except the basic data objects, the device provides additional
and optional identifiers and special data object description. All these data objects are
related to the device.
