I have system like one master and 20 energy meter as slave device. I am reading fixed 10 holding register and 10 coil register from each slave. Baud rate : 9600, Parity : even, Data bit : 8 Response timeout : 3 second.
My questions are :
How slave will receive data from slaves? 1) First holding register from first slave and then second slave's first holding register and then third.... up to 2oth, and again second holding register from first slave and second register from second slave like this...
2) first of all, all holding register of first slaves and all coil register of first slave and then second slave's turn. like this goes to last 20th coil register and start again first slave?
How is it work?
One of this way is it working or third option is there????
There is no information about the architecture or the meters. What are the specification for the meter, how does it expect to provide readings, what's the protocol? Does the meter manufacture provide any examples, or suggestions?
Generally you'd want to go from meter (slave) to meter retrieving the parameters you need, and sending back updates.
Generally you'd want to go from meter (slave) to meter had to read that 3 times, to avoid misunderstandings:
Generally you'd want the master to go from meter to meter
Meters are connected in daisy chain through Modbus RTU protocol.... its IDs are 1 to 20.
