Acuvim II Series - AXM WEB PUSH 9. Description of Modbus-TCP Protocol The Modbus-TCP protocol is used as one of the communication protocols in the AXM-WEB- PUSH. The protocol establishes a master and slave connection in Ethernet. The master device (client) first sets up a TCP-IP link with slave device (server).
If the master needs to perform a write to a group of registers in the slave(function code 10 hexadecimal), the data field specifies the starting register, how many registers to write, the count of data bytes to follow in the data field and the data to be written into the registers.

Chapter 9: Description of Modbus-TCP Protocol 9.2.1 Read Status of Relay (Function code 01) This function code is used to read the relay output status in the Acuvim II series meter. 1=On 0=Off There are 8 relay outputs in the Acuvim II series meter and they start at address 0000H.
9.2.2 Read Status of DI(Function Code 02) 1=On 0=Off There are 28 DIs in the Acuvim II series meter starting at address 0000H. The following query is to read 4 DI statuses of AXM-IO1 module with logic address of 1 in the Acuvim II series meter.
9.2.3 Read Data (Function Code 03) Query This function allows the user to obtain the measurement results of the Acuvim II series meter. Below is an example to read 6 registers corresponding to the device clock of the meter, starting at 1040H.
This function code enables the control of a single relay output in the Acuvim II series meter. Any relay output in the Acuvim II series meter can be controlled on or off starting at 0000H. Sending the data 'FF00H' will set they relay output on and sending '0000H' will turn it off; all other values are illegal and will not affect they relay output status.
This function code allows the user to modify the contents of a register. The example below is a request to an Acuvim II series meter with device address 1 to preset the CT1(500) and CT2(5) registers. The CT1 data address is 1008H and CT2 is at 1009H.
