1. Warnings and legal information

Legal information and responsibility

Thomson Technology takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set. If there is any

doubt about how to install or operate the generator set controlled by the unit, the company responsible for the

installation or the operation of the set must be contacted.

Electrostatic discharge awareness

Sufficient care must be taken to protect the terminals against static discharges during the installation. Once the

unit is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.

Safety issues

Installing the unit implies work with dangerous currents and voltages. Therefore, the installation should only be

carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working with live electrical equipment.

Definitions

Throughout this document a number of notes and warnings will be presented. To ensure that these are noticed,

they will be highlighted in order to separate them from the general text.

Notes

Warning

The notes provide general information which will be helpful for the reader to

bear in mind.

The warnings indicate a potentially dangerous situation which could result in

death, personal injury or damaged equipment, if certain guidelines are no

followed.

Be aware of the hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any AC

measurement inputs as this could lead to injury or death.

The units are not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the

warranty will be lost.

4. Data tables

Example:

Read measured Supply Voltage (U

SUPPLY

1. Determine required parameters:

MEC 310 ID (default) = 01h

Function Code (Read) = 04h

Offset Address (from table below) = 34d -> 22h

Request length of 1 word = 01h

2. Create and send Modbus command; receive response:

Tx: 01h 04h 00h 22h 00h 01h 91h C0h

Rx: 01h 04h 02h 00h EDh 79h 7Dh

Where the last two words of each message are automatically generated CRC codes

3. Interpret Data:
