Modbus Protocol ComPass A/B
Data Package Format
In the ComPass A/B, the data-byte standard setting is as follows:
1 Start Bit
8 Data Bits (LSB first)
1 Parity Bit (Even)
1 Stop Bit
Odd Parity and No Parity are also supported. If No Parity is specified, 2 Stop Bits are used.
Each message begins with an idle interval of at least 3.5 character times.
This period can be overwritten (see Chapter 0.)
As for the ComPass A/B, the maximum response time is 10ms.
When 16-bit values are transmitted, the high-order bit will be transmitted first.

Modbus Data
Please note: All addresses stated in the present document are expressed as decimal values. As for the
ComPass A, when data are read from addresses which are solely intended for the ComPass B, there will
always be one 0 read back. And as for the ComPass A, when data are written to registers which are
solely intended for the ComPass B, nothing will be done with these values.
The ComPass A/B supports the following data models:
- Bit Type Data (Discrete Inputs / Coil)
- Register Type Data
The following abbreviations are used for the register names:

Table 5: Overview of the implemented Registers of the Events, the Remote Maintenance and the Factoryset Parameters
Read or write accesses to any addresses beyond the defined address will cause the Exception Code 02.
Any value that is written beyond the value range will cause the Exception Code 03.
Referring to the ComPass A, when data are read from registers which are solely defined for the ComPass
B, the 0 value will be returned. While the data are written no further data processing is done.
Modified values contained in the Registers are saved during a device reset (see Chapter 3.8.2 or Chapter
3.8.4).

Register Type Data Events
3.7.1
Event classification
(Address 6000) This register informs on the status of the medium-voltage conductors. This register is
updated once the ComPass has detected an event. If several events are detected, this
register will log the event detected first as regards time. By Event Acknowledgement (Bit
DEL to be set in Register 10001 (Chapter 3.8.2), or Coil 4 (Chapter 3.4.4), this register
will be updated as soon as the next event occurs. If no event has occurred, this register
will return 0.
