Modbus Register Configuration and Data Type Mapping
Register Address and Data Types
Read and Write Registers (For NDC):-
Register Name Address Data Type Description
Interval for device ping
operations in seconds
PING INTERVAL 0 16-bit (read/write). Reads the NDC
( FOR NDC READ) based on the ping interval.
BAUD RATE Configuration for baud rate
( FOR NDC READ) 1 16-bit selection (read/write)
PARITY CONFIG Configuration for serial parity
( FOR NDC READ) 2 16-bit settings (read/write)
READ FAILED COUNT Counter for failed read
( FOR NDC READ) 22 - 23 32-bit operations (read/write)
READ SUCCESS Counter for successful read

Baud Rate Configuration: -
Configuration Value (value to write) Baud Rate (bps)
0 4800
1 9600
2 19200
3 38400
4 57600
5 74880
6 115200
7 230400
Default 115200
“Note: If the value is not within the range of 0 to 7 (inclusive), the default baud rate will be
configured automatically.”
Parity Configuration: -
Configuration Value (value to write) Parity Setting
0 SWSERIAL_8O1

5 SWSERIAL_8N2
Default SWSERIAL_8E1
“Note: If the value is not within the range of 0 to 5 (inclusive), the default parity will be
configured automatically.”

Modbus RS485 Wiring Configuration
Red (NDC Positive Power): Connect to the power supply positive terminal (+).
Orange (NDC Negative Power): Connect to the power supply ground (-).
Green (RS485 A): Connect to the RS485 positive terminal (A).
Grey (RS485 B): Connect to the RS485 negative terminal (B).
Summary
This document defines the Modbus register mapping with associated data types and descriptions.
Additionally, it includes the configuration mapping for baud rates and parity settings based on case
values. Proper alignment of register addresses and corresponding data types ensures reliable
communication in the Modbus protocol. If the configuration values for baud rate or parity do not
match the predefined cases, the default values will be used for ensuring stable communication.
