1 General
With the development of data center, the problem of energy consumption is also prominent. Energy
management and design of power supply and distribution for data center has been a hot issue. High efficient
and reliable power distribution solution for data center is an effective way for improving efficiency of power
usage for data center and lowering energy consumption. To realize the energy saving for data center, it is
necessary to monitor every load accurately. However, as there are too many load circuits in data center, it is
hard for traditional meters to meet the requirements of cost, dimension, installation, construction, etc.
Therefore, multi-circuit monitoring device is needed for centralized monitoring for data center.
Acrel AMC16 series multi-circuit monitoring device is specially designed for the power management of
center data server in data center. This device is small and exquisite, which can monitor electric parameters
and switching state from as many as dozens of circuits besides input circuit and output circuit in a centralized
way. It realizes high centralization of monitoring circuits in the dimension of traditional meter.

3 Communication protocol
This protocol stipulates protocols for the physical connections and communications between AMC16
Series multi-circuit monitoring device and data terminal equipments. The method of communication in this
protocol is similar to Modbus-RTU.
The protocol used in AMC Series device defines data sequence for address code, function code and check
code in a detailed way. These are necessary for specific data exchange. This protocol adopts master-slave
for network communication in one communication wire (half duplex communication). This means that in a
single communication wire signal will be transmitted in two opposite ways. First, the master computer signal
addresses the only terminal equipment (slave computer), and then the response signal from the terminal
equipment returns to the master computer in the opposite direction.
This protocol allowed only in the host (PC, PLC) and the communication between terminal equipment
between the terminal equipment, and does not allow the independent data exchange, so that each terminal
device does not occupy the communication line in their initialization, and only reached the query response
signal of the machine.7.2
Transmission Mode
Data are transmitted in an asynchronous way and measured by bytes. The communication between
master computer and slave computer is 11-byte format, including 1 start bit, 8 data bits( the least significance
bit will be sent first), parity bit and 2 stop bits.
Address field is located at the beginning of frame, made up of 1 byte( 8-bit binary code), 0~255 in decimal
system, only 1~247 used in our system, retaining other addresses. These bits set addresses for the terminal
equipment designated by users. The equipment will receive data from master computer connected to it. The
address for the terminal equipment must be unique. Only the addressed terminal will respond to the query
with this address. When the terminal responds a message, the address data in response will tell the master
computer which terminal is communicating with it.
Function field code tells the addressed terminal to carry out what function. The following table shows the
function codes used in this series device, their definition and functions.
03 Read Register Acquire current binary system value in one or more register.
Data field contains the data terminal needs to carry out specific functions or the data terminal collects when
responding to a query. The data can be values, addresses or set parameters. For example, when function
field code tells a terminal to read a register, data field needs to tell from which register and how many data to
read. The embedded data and addresses vary with types and the contents in slave computers.
3.2.5Check Field
This field allows master computer and terminals to check the errors in data transmission. Sometimes, due
to electric noise and other interference, data can be changed when transmitted from one equipment to
another. Error check can ensure that master computer or terminals will not respond to the changed data in
transmission. This enhance the safety a
Error check field takes 2 bytes including a 16-bit binary value. CRC value is calculated by transmission
equipment and then is added to data frame. Data receiving equipment will recalculate the CRC value when
receiving the data and then compare them with the value in CRC field. If there is difference between the two
values, then errors occur.
When CRC is in operation, it presets a 16-bit register all as 1 first and then calculate 8 bits of each byte in
data frame and the current value in the register consecutively. Only the 8 bits in each byte engender CRC.
Start bit, stop bit and parity bit won’t affect CRC. When engendering CRC, the 8 bits in each byte will do XOR
calculation with the values in the register and the result will shift towards low bit and high bit will be
supplemented by 0. LSB will shift out and check. If LSB is 1, this register will do XOR calculation with a
preset fixed value(0A001H) and if LSB is 0, then there is no related operation.
The above operation repeats until 8 bit-shifting is completed. When the last bit shift(the 8th bit) is completed,
the next 8-bit byte will do XOR calculation with the current value in register and in the same way do 8 bit shifts.
After all the bytes in the data frame finish the above-mentioned operation, the final value is CRC value.
The discrete input state 14-7 said sixteen hexadecimal byte value 3F or binary 00111111. The 14 is the input
Bytes of MSB, 7 input is the byte LSB
The discrete input state 16-15 said sixteen hexadecimal byte values 02, or binary 00000010. Input 15 is
LSB, zero fill the remaining bits in the last data byte
3.3.2 Function Code 03H: Read Register
This function allows users to obtain the data collected and recorded by equipment and system
parameters. There is no limit to the number of data for master to query in one time. But it can’t exceed the
defined address range.
The following example is the data collected from No. 01 slave computer( each address takes 2 bytes in
the data frame) UA, UB, UC. The address for UA is 0011H, for UB, 0012H and for UC, 0013H.

Function code 10H allows users to alter the contents in several registers. System parameters and switch
output state can be written in by this function. At most, 16 (32-bit) data can be written in at a time.
The following example shows the switch signal DO from the meter with preset address 01. The address
