Configuration
Machine ID Configuration
The registry settings of each card may be configured through the 8 switches on SW1. Switches 8 to 1 are numbered from left to right as shown on the figure. When the user slides the switch position downwards, its setting is 1. When pushed upwards, the setting is 0. In this example, the registry setting of the card is 0x01. See the appendix section for more details.
[Image Description: Diagram showing 8 switches labeled SW1, numbered 1 to 8 from right to left, with examples of ON/OFF positions.]
Communication Format Configuration
Configure communication format using SW1 switches:
Function | Bit Setting | Meaning | |
---|---|---|---|
#2 | #1 | ||
Baud rate | OFF | OFF | 2400bps |
OFF | ON | 4800bps | |
ON | OFF | 9600bps | |
ON | ON | 19200bps (default) | |
Parity check | #4 | #3 | |
OFF | OFF | Even parity | |
ON | OFF | Odd parity | |
OFF | ON | No parity check 1 stop bits (Default) | |
ON | ON | No parity check 2 stop bits |
[Image Description: Diagram showing SW1 switches and their configuration for Baud rate and Parity check.]
RS-485 Resistance Configuration
Configure RS-485 resistance using SW1 switches:
Function | Bit # | Setting | Meaning |
---|---|---|---|
Push up resistance | #6 | ON | Enable (Default) |
OFF | Disable | ||
Push down resistance | #7 | ON | Enable (Default) |
OFF | Disable | ||
Terminate resistance | #8 | ON | Enable (Default) |
OFF | Disable |
[Image Description: Diagram showing SW1 switches and their configuration for RS-485 resistance.]
Interface Configuration
The Modbus card uses an RJ45 port for communication.
RS-485 Pin Configuration
Pin | Function |
---|---|
4 | RS-485 - B |
5 | RS-485 - A |
8 | GND |
[Image Description: Diagram showing an RJ45 connector with pins labeled 1-8 and indicating the function for pins 4, 5, and 8.]
Connection
First, use an RS-485 to RS-232 converter or RS-485 to Modbus/TCP converter as a media converter between the Modbus card and the computer. Refer to the illustration below for wiring connection between RJ45 and media converter:
[Image Description: Diagram showing wiring connections between an RJ45 connector and a media converter (RS-485 to RS-232 or RS-485 to Modbus/TCP), illustrating data+, data-, and GND connections.]
Then, follow the diagram below when connecting to a personal computer:
[Image Description: Diagram showing two connection scenarios: 1. Using an RS-485 to RS-232 converter connecting a device to a computer via RS-232. 2. Using an RS-485 to Modbus/TCP converter connecting a device to a computer via LAN or WLAN.]
Multiple Wiring
Multiple connections are possible by pairing one Modbus card to one UPS at a time. This type of wiring connection allows the monitoring of up to 31 UPSs (maximum) from a single computer.
[Image Description: Diagram illustrating multiple wiring setups for connecting multiple UPS devices with Modbus cards to a single computer, showing end-of-line, intermediate, and first devices, and SW2 settings.]
Software Monitoring
Follow these steps for software monitoring:
- Install SchneiderUPS monitoring software on your PC. After successful installation, its software shortcut icon will appear in the system tray. [Image Description: Icon representing the SchneiderUPS software shortcut.]
- Select the "modbus communication setting". You can set up Modbus related parameters here. Refer to the "SchneiderUPS" software user manual for detailed settings. [Image Description: Screenshot of the SchneiderUPS software interface showing configuration options, including Modbus communication settings.]
- After configurations are complete, you may monitor each Modbus device by clicking the “View” function on the task bar. [Image Description: Screenshot of the SchneiderUPS software interface showing a power flow diagram with UPS information, input, bypass, battery, and output details.]
