Value mapping, default 1.

Value	Baud rate
1	9600 Bd
2	4800 Bd
3	2400 Bd
4	1200 Bd

Note 3:

In DDS238-2 ZN/SR model the relay can be switched by 0x001A register.

Writing registers

The meter does not understand the 'write sigle register' function code (06h), only the 'write multiple registers' function code (10h).

Hola,
Estoy buscando un programa para ejecutarlo en Arduino mega.
Dispongo de un módulo max485.
Mis conocimientos son bastante limitados.
Si me podéis hechar una mano os lo agradecería.
He probado algunos ejemplos sin éxito.

El meditor es de dds238-2 zn.
Gracias

@PepeLuis1959
En parte mi idea era realizar un dataloger con Arduino y o bien descargar datos mediante eth o bien que se suban los datos cada tanto a una web.
Por cosas de la vida tengo el proyecto aparcado y tal vez cuando lo retome lo haga mediante una Rasberry o similar ya que además de poder reutilizar el código en PHP que tengo tendría el LAMP incluido para la página de análisis de consumo. Por no decir que podría tener mi propia centralita de VoIP.

i want to ask, is it possible to reset the total energy using modbus serial in arduino? thankyou

https://gist.github.com/alphp/95e1efe916c0dd6df7156f43dd521d53#note-1

Total, export and import energy counters can erased writing 0 in total energy registers.

thankyou, it's worked on my arduino

I tested the DDS238-2 ZN/S with the current clamp. The refresh rate is quite slow (1-2 seconds)
and I noticed that the active power is sometimes reported with the wrong sign.
This issue can be reproduced with a resistive load backward though the current clamp:

Read   Active Power (address 0x000Eh)
-----  ------------------------------
1        0    // correct
2        0    // correct
// 40 Watts resistive reversed load is turned on .
3       31    // wrong, should be -31, not 31
4      -40    // correct
5      -40    // correct

This meter is therefore unreliable and cannot be used in a regulated feedback loop.

Indeed, it is not a reliable instrument for regulation.
But performing a reading/minute, valid values are obtained as a record.

Hello, I am also using the DDS238 ZN/SR. I am using QModMaster to communicate with the meter and a ethernet/modbus convertor DR302.

When I got the meter, ID=1. By using the read holding registers 0x03, I could read all the registers. And writing 0 or 1 to register 0x001A, I could switch the relay.

Then I wrote 0x2001 to register 0x0015, I lost all of the modbus communication. On the display is ID=000. The meter still works, it measures how it should do, but no communication. I have ofcourse also used the ID=0, the broadcast, but still no reply of the meter.

In QModMaster I have to increase the address with 1, so If I want to write to register 0x0015 I have to enter 0x0016. I check in the program the output and then it is correct.

Does anyone has seen this before? Can it be a problem with the QModMaster or does anyone how to set the address back to 1?

At the moment I don't have a RS232/RS485 convertor, it is ordered. Then I can use an Arduino to sent the strings and have every bit under control.

Greetings, Frans

Hello -
by accident, I also wrote 0 out in register 0x0015.
Now the gauge ID =0 and I can't fix it to anything else.
Is the recycle bin the only solution?

Hello, There is no limitation on what you write into the register, also not for the baud rate.  I did not find a way to reset the registers to the original value, also not by the supplier. Does your meter answer when you call it with ID=0, if not the recycle bin is the solution. ⁣Met vriendelijke groet, Frans Landsbergen​ Op 1 nov. 2023 16:05, om 16:05, MadsHHLund ***@***.***> schreef:

Okay recycle Bin.

Que tal Fernando, espero que te encuentres muy bien.
Tu post me ha ayudado mucho a identificar los datos en los registros del dispositivo.
Ahora mismo te escribo para probar suerte y preguntar si hay forma de obtener el DL/T645 ID usando MODBUS.
Veo que en el dispositivo este ID se encuentra impreso sobre el medidor y me sería muy útil poder obtenerlo para identificar distintos medidores.
Espero puedas ayudarme :) De antemano gracias

Tengo bastante aparcado el tema.
Pero si se tiene un volcado en binario de todos los registros y se sabe la información que se espera encontrar es posible identificar el registro si esa información está almacenada en algún registro. Obviamente debería ser un registro o bien marcado como reservado (básicamente es un registro cuya información no he podido identificar) o un registro nuevo (no explorado).
Un saludo
