Acti 9 Smartlink

Introduction
The Acti 9 Smartlink device has 11 channels (24 Vdc) and can be connected to devices in the Acti 9 range
equipped with a Ti24 interface. Thanks to the Ti24 link, data can be transmitted from the Acti 9 Smartlink
device to a PLC or a supervision system via a Modbus communication network.
The Acti 9 Smartlink device channels can also be used to transmit standardized I/O. The Acti 9 Smartlink
device can also therefore communicate with devices (not in the Acti 9 range) with or without a Ti24 link.
Devices which can be connected to the Acti 9 Smartlink device include:
z Acti 9 products: control switch for iACT24 contactors and iATL24 impulse relays, iC60 iOF+SD24
indication auxiliary, C60 OF+SD24 indication auxiliary, RCA iC60 remote control with Ti24 interface,
Reflex iC60 integrated control circuit breaker with Ti24 interface
z Meters: iEM2000T or other meters (Schneider Electric or other manufacturers) in compliance with
IEC 62053-21 (minimum pulse 30 ms).
z Any product (not in the Acti 9 range) that has command and control information: two discrete 24 V
outputs and one discrete 24 V inputs.
The Acti 9 Smartlink device is an intermediary between the supervisor and various electrical appliances. It
can therefore be used to retrieve and process data received from devices and also control them. The
functions available depend on the type of connected devices.
The Acti 9 Smartlink functions are described in detail (see page 67).

Safety Information

DANGER
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
Isolate the Acti 9 Smartlink power terminals from the power terminals connected to the Modbus network
line.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Example: The 0 V and the 24 V of a 24 Vdc power supply connected to the TRV00210 ULP
communication module must be isolated from the 0 V or +24 V terminals of the 24 Vdc power supply for
the Acti 9 Smartlink device.

General Characteristics
Acti 9 Smartlink device consumption:

Status Consumption
Device with no load 35 mA
Device under load 1.5 A maximum

Products in the Acti 9 Range

If products connected to the channels (Ti24 interfaces) of an Acti 9 Smartlink device are in the Acti 9 range,
the consumption of a channel output is the same as the consumption of an input because the output is
connected to the input. All that needs to be done is to add up the consumption of 3 input currents per
channel.
Example: Assuming that the input current is less than 5 mA, the consumption of an Acti 9 Smartlink device
is as follows:
No-load consumption + number of outputs x 3 input currents = 35 mA + 11 x (3 x 5 mA) = 200 mA

Products that can be Controlled by a Channel

If products connected to the channels (Ti24 interfaces) of an Acti 9 Smartlink device are in a different
range, the maximum consumption of a device channel is 110 mA. The output for each channel supplies
100 mA and the inputs can consume up to 5 mA each.
Example: Assuming that the consumption of one channel is 110 mA, the consumption of one
Acti 9 Smartlink device is as follows:
No-load consumption + number of outputs x consumption per channel = 35 mA + 11 x (110 mA) = 1.3 A

Selection of the Acti 9 Smartlink 24 Vdc Power Supply

The 24 Vdc power supply must correspond to the following criteria:
z It must be local to the electrical cabinet.
z It must be different from the Modbus network 24 Vdc power supply so as to maintain galvanic isolation
between the Modbus network (common to several electrical cabinets) and the 24 Vdc I/O.
z It must be Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) type.
z Galvanic isolation between the power supply input (AC voltage) and the power supply output
(DC voltage) must be at least 4 kVac at 50 Hz.
z The rated AC voltage of the power supply input must be 240 Vac +15/–20%.
z This power supply can be used to supply other products inside the electrical cabinet provided that these
products are double insulated or with reinforced insulation so as to preserve the power supply’s SELV
quality.
Phaseo ABL8MEM240xx (OVC II) or ABL7RM24025 (OVC II) modular power supplies and their
accessories comply with the earlier recommendations in this topic. These accessories provide the
redundancy and backup power supply functions and can eliminate micro-cuts on the line.
The upstream and downstream protection functions of the Phaseo power supply must be installed as
indicated in their respective manuals.
NOTE: OVC indicates the overvoltage category.

26 DOCA0004EN 05/2015
 Sizing the 24 V DC Power Supply

If overvoltage category IV or III is needed in the installation, we recommend using:

z Either power supplies (limited to 1 A) in the ULP (Universal Logic Plug) system with product references
54440 to 54445. See the User’s Manual, ULP Connection System, product reference TRV99100
z Or use the Phaseo power supply recommended earlier in this topic, protecting it with an isolating
transformer from the Phaseo Optimum (ABL6TS) range or the Universal (ABT7PDU) range.
NOTE: For each of these solutions, you should refer to the respective manuals.

Protection Against a 240 Vac Fault on the Acti 9 Smartlink Device 24 Vdc Input
In case a 240 Vac power supply is accidentally connected to the 24 Vdc input on the Acti 9 Smartlink power
supply, fuse protection is provided.

DOCA0004EN 05/2015 27
Sizing the 24 V DC Power Supply

Protection Against a 240 Vac Fault on the Acti 9 Smartlink Channels

Protection Against a 240 Vac Fault on the Acti 9 Smartlink Channels

In the event of a wiring error or electrical fault, the 240 Vac voltage may be present on the
Acti 9 Smartlink device channels: the neutral or phase (240 Vac) can be in contact with the Ti24 interfaces
or the 24 Vdc power supply.
The insulation inside the Acti 9 Smartlink device prevents propagation of this dangerous voltage (240 Vac)
over the Modbus network.
The protection function inside the Acti 9 Smartlink device eliminates the risk of fire inside the
Acti 9 Smartlink device.
These two protection functions (internal insulation and internal protection) cannot prevent wiring errors or
electrical faults. A risk of dangerous voltage remains on the Acti 9 Smartlink device channels.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
z Implement a TT or TN-S earthing system.
z Connect the SELV power supply 0 Vdc to the protective earth to make it a PELV (Protective Extra Low
Voltage) power supply. The upstream residual current protection must be type A.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTE: In the majority of cases, the presence of a PELV means an upstream residual current protection
can trip, thus protecting people and property.

DANGER
ACCIDENTAL EQUIPMENT BEHAVIOR
z Connect the 0 Vdc of the SELV power supply to the protective earth at a single point to avoid any stray
currents (50 Hz, harmonics, or transient currents) circulating across the 0 Vdc.
z Check that products supplied by this power supply are not already connecting the 0 Vdc to the
protective earth.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE
RISK OF DAMAGING THE ACTI 9 SMARTLINK DEVICE
z Connect the 0 Vdc of the SELV power supply to the protective earth at a single point to avoid any stray
currents (50 Hz, harmonics, or transient currents) circulating across the 0 Vdc.
z Check that products supplied by this power supply are not already connecting the 0 Vdc to the
protective earth.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Recommendations

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Recommendations

A star 24 Vdc distribution is preferable to a serial 24 Vdc distribution because star 24 Vdc distribution can
minimize the wiring impedance.
If serial distribution is used, it is advisable to wire two serial loopback wires (see the two blue wires in the
following drawing) in order to minimize impedance.

In a poor-quality electrical distribution network, it is advisable to use a Phaseo power supply from the
Universal range (ABL8MEM240xx (OVC II) or ABL7RM24025 (OVC II)) which can withstand up to 500 Vac
incoming and also offers galvanic insulation between the power supply AC input and the power supply DC
output of 4 kVac at 50 Hz.
It is advisable to comply with the segregation rules between low level signals (24 Vdc) and power
conductors, see:
z www.electrical-installation.org see the "ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC)" part,
"Wiring recommendations" section (information only available in English).

Installation

Checking the Modbus Serial Link

The table gives the characteristics of the RS 485 link that need to be checked during installation:

Designation Description
Shielding connection Each Modbus serial link must have shielding connected at one point to an earthed
link.
Bus polarization z Pull-up resistor connected to the 5 V: 450...650 Ohm
z Pull-down resistor connected to ground (Modbus 0 V): 450...650 Ohm

NOTE: This polarization is recommended for the master.

Line terminator 2 Modbus line terminators (120 Ohm + 1 nF), reference VW3A8306DRC.
The Modbus cable communication pair has characteristic impedance of 120 Ohm.
The Modbus cable must therefore have a Modbus line terminator with 120 Ohm
impedance at each end.
The Modbus master is at one end of the Modbus cable and usually has a switchable
terminal impedance. At the other end of the Modbus cable, a Modbus line terminator
with 120 Ohm impedance must be connected.
To obtain a high-frequency impedance of 120 Ohm without loading the cable with
direct current, the Modbus line terminator is optimized in the form of an RC cell:
120 Ohm in series with a 1 nF capacitor and two 10 cm wires for direct connection to
the 5-pin connector of the last Modbus interface module, between D0 and D1.
Ground polarity The ground circuit (0 V of an optional power supply) must be connected directly to a
protected earth, preferably at a single point on the bus.
This point is usually placed on the master or its slaves.
Trunk cable A pair of shielded twisted cables and a third conductor at minimum.
Maximum length of bus 1000 m at 19,200 Baud with the Schneider Electric 50965 cable

Setting the Modbus Address Parameters

The Acti 9 Smartlink device addressing is performed using two thumbwheels:
z The left-hand thumbwheel sets the tens.
z The right-hand thumbwheel sets the units.

NOTE:
z The Acti 9 Smartlink device addressing must be between 01 and 99.
z A standard Modbus network consists of up to 31 slaves.
z In run mode, the user can change the Modbus slave address without having to de-energize the
Acti 9 Smartlink.
z To reset the Acti 9 Smartlink factory settings (pulse weight at value 10, meters at 0, communication
parameters), proceed as follows:
z De-energize Acti 9 Smartlink
z Set the Modbus address to value 00
z Re-energize Acti 9 Smartlink
z Set the selected address

Setting Up Modbus Communication

Modbus Master/Slave Principle

Overview
The Modbus protocol exchanges data using a request/response mechanism between a master and a
slave. The master/slave principle is a type of communication protocol in which a device (the master)
controls one or more devices (the slaves). A standard Modbus network consists of one master and up to
31 slaves.
NOTE: For more information, a detailed description of the Modbus protocol is available on
www.modbus.org.

Characteristics of the Master/Slave Principle

The master/slave principle has the following characteristics:
z Only one master at a time is connected to the network.
z Only the master can launch communication and send requests to slaves.
z The master can address each slave individually using its dedicated address or all slaves simultaneously
using address 0.
z The slaves can only send responses to the master.
z Slaves cannot launch communication with either the master, or the other slaves.

Master/Slave Communication Modes

The Modbus protocol can exchange data using two communication modes:
z Request/response mode
z Broadcast mode

Each Acti 9 Smartlink has a Modbus address (1 to 99), and concentrates data from connected devices on
its 11 channels (Ti24 interface).
The states and orders for each device connected to Acti 9 Smartlink are accessible in registers whose
address depends on the channel (1 to 11) on which the device is connected.

62 DOCA0004EN 05/2015
 Setting Up Modbus Communication

Request/Response Mode
In request/response mode, the master addresses 1 slave using the slave’s dedicated address. The slave
processes the request, then responds to the master.

Broadcast Mode
In broadcast mode, the master addresses all the slaves using address 0. Slaves do not respond to
broadcast messages.

Turnaround Time
The turnaround time Tr is the time between the end of receipt of a request and sending the response.

The typical value of the turnaround time Tr is less than 10 ms with the Modbus protocol.

DOCA0004EN 05/2015 63
Setting Up Modbus Communication

Data Exchange
The Modbus protocol uses two data types:
z Bits
z 16-bit words called registers

Each register has a register number. Each data type (bit or register) has a 16-bit address.
Messages exchanged with the Modbus protocol contain the address of the data to be processed.

Frames
All frames exchanged with the Modbus protocol are 256 bytes maximum and consist of four fields:

Field Definition Size Description

1 Slave number 1 byte Destination of the request
z 0: broadcast (all slaves are affected)
z 1...247: unique destination

2 Function code 1 byte Modbus (see page 69) Function

3 z Data n bytes z Request or response data
z Sub-function code z Sub-function code

4 Check 2 bytes CRC16 (to check transmission errors)

Data Format
The data format is configured as shown in the following table according to Modbus RTU format:

Start Data Parity Stop

1 bit 8 bits 1 bit 1 bit

NOTE: The Modbus RTU data format is composed of 11 bits.

Even parity is required, other modes (odd parity, no parity) may be also used.
If no parity is implemented in the Modbus Master, an additional stop bit must be transmitted by the Modbus
Master to fill out the character frame to a full 11 bit asynchronous character.
NOTE: For more information, a detailed description of the Modbus protocol is available on
www.modbus.org.

Setup

Initialization
The table describes the two initialization phases for the Acti 9 Smartlink device:

Phase Description
1 z Acti 9 Smartlink must be connected to a Modbus master.
z When the 24 Vdc power supply is activated, the Modbus communication for the Acti 9 Smartlink device
is initialized and addressing is taken into account.
2 After receiving a maximum of 25 frames from the master, Acti 9 Smartlink automatically adapts its
communication parameters to those of the master (speed, parity and number of stop bits).

NOTE: The Modbus network communication speed is the same for all serial connections for the Modbus
devices used. It is imposed by the lowest communication speed of a slave device.
NOTE: Automatic adaptation to the communication parameters only occurs on powering up the
Acti 9 Smartlink.

Setting the Modbus Address Parameters

The Acti 9 Smartlink device addressing is performed using two thumbwheels:
z The left-hand thumbwheel sets the tens
z The right-hand thumbwheel sets the units

NOTE:
z The Acti 9 Smartlink device address must be between 01 and 99.
z A standard Modbus network consists of up to 31 slaves.
z In run mode, the user can change the Modbus slave address without having to de-energize the
Acti 9 Smartlink.

Communication Parameters
The communication parameter values are as follows:

Settings Authorized Values Default Value

Data rate (in Baud) 4800, 9600, and 19,200 19,200
Parity z Even and one stop bit Even (with one stop bit)
z Odd and one stop bit
z No parity (parity bit eliminated), 2 stop bits
are needed.

NOTE: The Modbus network communication speed is the same for all serial connections for the Modbus
devices used. It is imposed by the lowest communication speed of a slave device.

The Modbus command register bit is automatically set to 0 by Acti 9 Smartlink as soon as the order has
been sent to output Q.

Counting Functions
Schneider Electric energy meters with pulse output:
z iEM2000T (the pulse weight equals 10)
z iEM3110 (the pulse weight can be configured)
z iEM3155 (the pulse weight can be configured)
z iEM3210 (the pulse weight can be configured)
z iEM3255 (the pulse weight can be configured)

Acti 9 Smartlink calculates the energy consumption and the average power between two pulses.
Energy consumption = Number of pulses counted × pulse weight
Average power between two pulses = (3600 × Pulse weight)/t; the result is expressed for one hour.
With t, the time in seconds between the last two pulses received.

DOCA0004EN 05/2015 67
Setting Up Modbus Communication

Other types of meter with pulse output:

z water, gas meters, etc.
z Any type of meter whose pulse output complies with standard IEC 62053-21 (minimum pulse 30 ms).

The pulse weight can be configured.

Acti 9 Smartlink calculates the consumption and the average flow between two pulses.
Consumption = Number of pulses counted × pulse weight
Average flow = (3600 × pulse weight)/t; the result is expressed for one hour.
With t, the time in seconds between the last two pulses received.
The average power data (or average flow) between two pulses is reset to 0:
z After a duration d = 3 x t; if 3 x t is less than 5 seconds, the duration d equals five seconds
With t, the time in seconds between the last two pulses received.
z After 24 hours without a pulse
z After loss of the 24 Vdc input/output voltage

Every 10 minutes, the meter values are saved in the EEPROM memory.
Each time it changes, the value of each pulse is saved instantly in the EEPROM memory.
The meter parameter setting dates are saved instantly in the EEPROM memory.

System Behavior in the Event of Loss of the 24 Vdc Power Supply

Up to a duration of 10 ms, Acti 9 Smartlink is unaffected by voltage dips. If the voltage is below 19.2 Vdc
(24 Vdc - 20%) for more than 10 ms, Acti 9 Smartlink changes to downgraded mode:
z All the outputs are set to zero. However the Acti 9 control auxiliaries (iACT24, iATL24, Reflex iC60,
RCA iC60) distinguish this loss of voltage event in actual order. They do not therefore change state.
z The time between two write operations in the EEPROM memory is 10 min. Data previously written to
this memory is not modified on loss of voltage. Saved values therefore date back a maximum of 10 min.
z Calculated power (or flow) values are not saved. They are set to zero.

System Behavior at the Time the 24 Vdc Power Supply is Energized or Returns
NOTE: The Acti 9 Smartlink power supply must be between 19.2 Vdc (24 Vdc - 20%) and 28.8 Vdc
(36 Vdc - 20%).
z The outputs remain at zero.
z The Acti 9 control auxiliaries (iACT24, iATL24, Reflex iC60, RCA iC60) do not change status since they
operate according to rising or falling edge.
z Data stored in the EEPROM memory is written to the corresponding registers (pulse weights, event
counters, impulse counters, running hours counters, counter reset dates). The values in the registers
are therefore those of the last save to the EEPROM memory. These values may differ from the last
values read in the registers before the power failure.
NOTE: If the Acti 9 Smartlink thumbwheels are set to zero during the loss of voltage, Acti 9 Smartlink is
reset when the power returns. For more information, see Resetting with factory parameters (see page 66).

Modbus Functions

General Description
The Modbus protocol offers functions for reading or writing data on the Modbus network. This protocol also
offers diagnostic and network management functions.
Only Modbus functions managed by the Acti 9 Smartlink device are described here.

Table of Modbus Functions

The following table describes in detail the functions supported by Acti 9 Smartlink devices:

Function Code Sub-Function Code Function Name

01 – Read n output or internal bits
02 – Read n input bits
03 – Read n output or internal words
05 – Write 1 bit
06 – Write 1 word
08 (1) Modbus diagnostics
15 – Write n bits
16 – Write n words
43 14 (2) Read identification

15(3) Read the date and time

16(4) Write the date and time

100 4 (5) Read n non-adjacent words where n ≤ 100.

NOTE:
Thanks to the read distributed holding register function, the user
can:
z Avoid reading a large block of adjacent words when only a few
words are needed.
z Avoid multiple use of function 3 in order to read non-adjacent
words.

Modbus Exception Codes

Exception Responses
Exception responses issued by the master or a slave can be the result of data processing errors. One of
the following events can occur after a request from the master:
z If the slave receives the request from the master without a communication error and manages the
request correctly, it sends back a normal response.
z If the slave does not receive the request from the master due to a communication error, it does not send
back a response. The master program ends by applying a time delay condition to the request.
z If the slave receives the request from the master but detects a communication error, it does not send
back a response. The master program ends by applying a time delay condition to the request.
z If the slave receives the request from the master without a communication error but cannot manage it
(for example, the request consists of reading a register that does not exist), the slave sends back an
exception response to inform the master of the nature of the error.

Exception Frame
The slave sends an exception frame to the master to indicate an exception response. An exception
response consists of four fields:

Field Definition Size

1 Slave number 1 byte
2 Exception function code 1 byte
3 Exception code n bytes
4 Check 2 byte

Managing Modbus Exceptions

The exception response frame consists of 2 fields that distinguish it from a normal response frame:
z The exception response’s exception function code is the same as the original request function code plus
128 (0x80).
z The exception code depends on the communication error detected by the slave.
The table describes the exception codes managed by the Acti 9 Smartlink device:

Exception Code Name Description

01 Illegal function The function code received in the request is not a permitted action for
the slave. It is possible that the slave is in an unsuitable state to
process a specific request.
02 Illegal data address The data address received by the slave is not a permitted address for
the slave.
03 Illegal data value The value of the request data field is not a permitted value for the
slave.
04 Slave device failure The slave is unable to perform a required action due to an
unrecoverable error.
06 Slave device busy The slave is busy processing another command. The master should
send the request once the slave is free.

NOTE: For more information, a detailed description of the Modbus protocol is available on
www.modbus.org.

Access to Variables
A Modbus variable can have the following attributes:
z Read-only
z Read/write
z Write-only

NOTE: An attempt to write to a read-only variable generates an exception response.

Overview

Overview
All the Modbus tables in the Acti 9 Smartlink device have been designed to minimize the number of
Modbus requests that the master system needs to send in order to collect the data prepared by
Acti 9 Smartlink.
The Modbus tables in the Acti 9 Smartlink device are compact and are summaries of all the data collected
on the 11 channels of the Acti 9 Smartlink device.
The Modbus tables in the Acti 9 Smartlink device are described in:
z The section presenting:
z The overall list of Acti 9 Smartlink (see page 79) device address zones
z The summary of channel 1 to 11 address zones (see page 86)

Modbus Table Format and Data Types

Table Formats
Register tables have the following columns:

Address No. RW X Unit Type Range Default Svd Function Description

Value Code

Designation Description
Address 16-bit register address that allows the user to access the variable. The address is expressed in decimal
notation.
Modbus Address:
The list of Modbus addresses, defined by the Modbus protocol, starts at 0. The detailed tables in
subsequent chapters of this manual give the Modbus addresses.
If the programmable controller ( master) refers to the data model addresses, the addresses to be
supplied to this controller must meet the following rule: Data model address = Modbus address + 1.
If the programmable controller (Modbus master) refers to the procotol addresses, the addresses to be
supplied to this controller must be the Modbus addresses.
No. Number of 16-bit registers that need to be read/written to access the complete information.
RW Whether the register is read only (R) or read-write (RW).
X Scale factor:
z Scale “X1” means that the value of the register is the right one with the unit indicated.
z A scale of 10 means that the register contains the value multiplied by 10. The actual value is
therefore the value of the register divided by 10.
z A scale of 0.1 means that the register contains the value multiplied by 0.1. The actual value is
therefore the value of the register multiplied by 10.
Unit Information unit of measurement:
z “–”: no unit corresponding to the value expressed.
z “h”: hours
z “D”: the unit depends on the connected device.

Type Coding data type (see "Data type" table later in this topic).
Range Range of permitted values for the variable, usually a subset of what the format allows. For BITMAP
type data, the content of this domain is “–”.
Default value Default value for the variable
Svd Saving the value in the event of a power failure:
z “Y”: the value of the register is saved in the event of a power failure.
z “N”: the value is lost in the event of a power failure.

NOTE: On start-up or reset, the available values are retrieved.

Function Code of functions that can be used in the register.

DATE See “Date” table later in this topic –

NOTE:
Float32 type data: Single precision float with sign bit, 8 bits exponent, 23 bits mantissa (positive and
negative normalized real)

76 DOCA0004EN 05/2015
 Tables of Modbus Registers

For ASCII type data, the order of transmission of characters in words (16-bit registers) is as follows:
z Character n as least significant
z Character n + 1 as most significant

All registers (16-bit or 2 bytes) are transmitted with Big Endian coding:
z The most significant byte is transmitted first
z The least significant byte is transmitted second

32-bit variables saved on two 16-bit words (e.g. consumption meters) are in Big Endian format:
z The most significant word is transmitted first, then the least significant.

64-bit variables saved on four 16-bit words (e.g. dates) are in Big Endian format:
z The most significant word is transmitted first, and so on.

DATE
DATE format in accordance with TI081 standard:

Word Bits

3 SU (0) 0 Hour (0...23) iV 0 Minute (0...59)
4 Millisecond (0...59,999)
R4: Bit reserved
Year: 7 bits (year starting at 2000)
Month: 4 bits
Day: 5 bits
Hour: 5 bits
Minute: 6 bits
Millisecond: 16 bits
WD (day of the week) : Bit at 0 if this parameter is not used.
SU (summertime): Bit at 1 for summertime, bit at 0 if this parameter is not used.
iV (validity of the information received): Bit at 1 if the information is not valid, bit at 0 if this parameter is not
used.

Direct Bit Addressing

Addressing is permitted for BITMAP type zones with functions 1, 2, 5 and 15.
The address of the first bit is constructed as follows: (register address x 16) + bit number.
This addressing mode is specific to Schneider Electric.
Example: For functions 1, 2, 5 and 15, bit 3 of register 0x0078 should be addressed; the bit address is
therefore 0x0783.
NOTE: The register whose bit needs to be addressed should have an address ≤ 0x0FFF.

(1)
z When the impulse counter (the unit depends on the connected device: energy, gas, water, etc.) is
connected to input 1 or 2 of channel 1, the register contains the flow value. This is calculated as follows:
z (3600 x pulse weight)/t, t representing the time in seconds between 2 pulses. The result is expressed
for one hour.
z The pulse weight is 10 by default and can be configured by the Modbus command.
Example: This register indicates the active power between the last 2 pulses if an iEM2000T device is
connected to the channel 1/input 1 (Pulse weight = 10 Wh).
NOTE:
This register is reset to 0:
z After a duration d = 3 x t (t being the time in seconds between the last 2 pulses), if 3 x t is less than
5 seconds, the duration d equals 5 seconds
z After 24 hours without a pulse
z After loss of the 24 Vdc input/output voltage

The accuracy of the power or flow indication is:

z 5% if the pulse frequency is 5 Hertz or less

The consumption meters in this Modbus table indicate the consumption from meters connected to each
Acti 9 Smartlink channel (1 to 11).
The consumption value (associated with a channel) is obtained by multiplying the number of pulses
(received by inputs I1 and I2 of this channel) by the pulse weight.
