Version
Description of Changes
Number
10.030 • First public release
10.040 • Corrected error in Modbus communications with extremely fast turnaround time (PLC application)
10.050 • Corrected Modbus Driver to correct for communications system becoming non-responsive when a ‘break’ is received
10.060 • Corrected neutral to ground scaling error encountered when meter is installed in a floating system.
10.070 • Corrected error which inhibited the JBUS communications
• When using system type 30 or 31 with PTs in code with firmware versions 10.070 and below, incorrect voltage readings were reported (direct connect works correctly). Vca
10.080 was reported correctly but the voltage reported for the other two phases would be high. This was due to an error in the voltage calculations for three-wire systems with PTs.
Firmware version 10.080 corrects this problem.
