MODBUS TCP :

The Modbus TCP connection must be made using Connector3 of HD67044-B2 with at least a Category 5E
cable. The maximum length of the cable should not exceed 100m. The cable has to conform to the T568
norms relative to connections in cat.5 up to 100 Mbps. To connect the device to an Hub/Switch is
recommended the use of a straight cable, to connect the device to a PC/PLC/other is recommended the
use of a cross cable.

M-BUS:

The M-Bus is a unpolarized bus.

A two wire standard telephone cable (JYStY N*2*0.8 mm) is used as the transmission medium for the M-Bus. The maximum distance
between a slave and the repeater is 350m; this length corresponds to a cable resistance of up 29Ω. This distance applies for the standard
configuration having Baud rates between 300 and 9600 Baud, and a maximum of 250 slaves. The maximum distance can be increased by
limiting the Baud rate and using fewer slaves, but the bus voltage in the space state must at no point in a segment fall below 12V, because
of the remote powering of the slaves. In the standard configuration the total cable length should not exceed 1000m, in order to meet the
requirement of a maximum cable capacitance of 180nF. (Taken from M-Bus specifics)

MANUFACTURER SPECIFIC DATA

Using this function is possible to save into Modbus registers the part of M-Bus frame that is coded like Manufacturer Specific Data.
Usually these data are at the end of the frame and after a DIF byte with the value 0x0F of 0x1F.

Here an example of the frame and the mentioned data (hexadecimal):

68 20 20 68 08 01 72 78 56 34 12 86 04 05 00 08 00 00 00 0C 78 78 56 34 12 0F 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 AA 74 16

If you want to save all ten bytes from Modbus register 200 you have to compile the fields “Manufacturer Specific Data”, “Length (MSD)
[1 – 241]” and Offset (MSD) [0 - 240] in this way: Manufacturer Specific Data: 200 | Length: 10 | Offset: 0.
On Modbus you will have this result: reg.200=1122h, reg.201=3344h, reg.202=5566h, reg.203=7788h, reg.204=99AAh

If you want to save only the byte 33 and 44 in the Modbus register 200 you have to compile the fields “Manufacturer Specific Data”,
“Length (MSD) [1 – 241]” and Offset (MSD) [0 - 240] in this way: Manufacturer Specific Data: 200 | Length: 2 | Offset: 2.
On Modbus you will have this result: reg.200=3344h

If you want to save only the byte 66 in the Modbus register 200 you have to compile the fields “Manufacturer Specific Data”, “Length
(MSD) [1 – 241]” and Offset (MSD) [0 - 240] in this way: Manufacturer Specific Data: 200 | Length: 1 | Offset: 5.
On Modbus you will have this result: reg.200=6600h

UPDATE DEVICE:

By pressing the “Update Device” button, it is possible to load the created Configuration into the
device; and also the Firmware, if necessary. This by using the Ethernet port.

If you don’t know the actual IP address of the device you have to use this procedure:
Turn OFF the Device;
Put Dip1 of ‘Dip-Switch A’ in ON position;
Turn ON the device
Connect the Ethernet cable;
Insert the IP “192.168.2.205”;
Select which operations you want to do;
Press the “Execute update firmware” button to start the upload;
When all the operations are “OK” turn OFF the Device;
Put Dip1 of ‘Dip-Switch A’ in OFF position;
Turn ON the device.

If you know the actual IP address of the device, you have to use this procedure:
Turn ON the Device with the Ethernet cable inserted;
Insert the actual IP of the Converter; Figure 5: “Update device” windows
Select which operations you want to do;
Press the “Execute update firmware” button to start the upload;
When all the operations are “OK” the device automatically goes at Normal Mode.

At this point the configuration/firmware on the device is correctly updated.

Note:
When you receive the device, for the first time, you also have to update the Firmware in the HD67044 device.

Warning:
If Fig. 6 appears when you try to do the Update try these points before seeking
assistance:
Check if the serial COM port selected is the correct one;
Check if the serial cable is connected between the PC and the device;
Try to repeat the operations for the updating;
Try with another PC;
Try to restart the PC;
Check the LAN settings;
If you are using the program inside a Virtual Machine, try to use in the main Operating
System;
If you are using Windows Seven, Vista, 8 or 10, 11 make sure that you have the
administrator privileges;
In case you have to program more than one device, using the "UDP Update", you have to
cancel the ARP table every time you connect a new device on Ethernet. For do this you
have to launch the "Command Prompt" and write the command "arp -d". Pay attention
that with Windows Vista, Seven, 8, 10, 11 you have to launch the "Command Prompt"
with Administrator Rights; Figure 6: “Error” window
Pay attention at Firewall lock.

Warning:
In the case of HD67044 you have to use the software “SW67044”: www.adfweb.com\download\filefold\SW67044.zip.
