5.Operation

5.1Basic Setting Level:

After electrifying, press "SET" key for 1 second, user can see the First setting area. Press ▼,▲ can
adjust serial number of the parameter, then press "SET" confirm and modify the setting value of this
menu.
Meanwhile press,▼,▲ user can adjust the parameter's value, Press "SET" to confirm and save
data.
Switch to Serial number modifying status to finish the adjustment. User can quit setting area during
the serial number modifying status by pressing  key

5.2The Second setting Level ( Second level menu setting):

After electrifying, press "SET" key for 3 second, user can see the Second setting area. Press ▼,▲
can adjust serial number of the parameter, then press "SET" confirm and modify the setting value of this
menu.
Meanwhile press ,▼,▲ user can adjust the parameter's value, Press "SET" to confirm and save
data.
Switch to Serial number modifying status to finish the adjustment. User can quit setting area during
the serial number modifying status by pressing  key.
6. Alarm function
3
 Yuyao KingCreate Instruments Co.,Ltd. http://www.kcmeter.com
Alarm (ALM) function sets up the alarm status when the measured value (PV) or the deviation reaches the
alarm set values. In the alarm status, the alarm output is output from the digital output terminals, and the
alarms are used to drive the equipment danger signals or the safety equipment.
Alarm (ALM) function Alarm status[ON] Alarm status[OFF]
Process high alarm Measured value>Alarm set value Measured value<Alarm set value
Process low alarm Measured value<Alarm set value Measured value>Alarm set value

8. Host communication based on MODBUS-RTU protocol [OPTIONAL]

The master controls communication between master and slave. A typical message consists of a request
(query message) sent from the master followed by an answer (response message) from the slave. When
master begins data transmission, a set of data is sent to the slave in a fixed sequence. When it is received,
the slave decodes it, takes the necessary action, and returns data to the master.

8.1 Communication Mode:

Data bit length Stop bits Parity bit Communication time interval
8-bit (Binary) 1,2 NONE 300ms

8.2 Message length of each function (Unit: byte):

Function code Query message Response message
Function
(Hexadecimal) Min Max Min Max
03H Read holding registers 8 8 7 7
06H Preset single register 8 8 8 8

8.3 Message format

Slave address The slave address is a number from 1 to 255 manually set at the front key panel of the
controller.
Function code Refer to 8.2. Message length of each function
Data The data to execute the function specified by the function code is sent to the slave and
corresponding data returned to the master from the slave.
CRC-16 CRC-16: Cyclic Redundancy Check

8.4 Read holding registers [03H]

The query message specifies the starting register address and quantity of registers to be read.

 Yuyao KingCreate Instruments Co.,Ltd. http://www.kcmeter.com
Slave address Function code Register Quantity CRC16
03H address The setting must be 1

Example: The contents of the holding register 1001H are the read out from slave address 1.
Query message: 01 03 10 01 00 01 D1 0A
Response message: 01 03 02 00 FD 79 C5
Explain：00FD=253,is processed as 25.3

8.5 Preset single register [06H]

The query message specifies data to be written into the designated holding register. Only R/W holding
registers can be specified. The controller EEPROM had a life span of data written to the EEPROM less than
1000,000 times
Slave address Function code Register Write data CRC16
address
Example: Data is written into the holding register 0001H(AL-1) of slave address 1.
Query message: 01 06 00 02 FF 38 68 28
Response message: 01 06 00 02 FF 38 68 28
When input ALM1 set value is -20.0,-20.0 is processed as -200,-200=0000H-00C8H=FF38H
8.6 No response
The slave ignores the query message and does not respond when:
• The slave address in the query message does not coincide with any slave address settings.
• The CRC code of the master does not coincide with that of the slave.
• Transmission error such as overrun, framing, parity and etc., is found in the query message.
• The Communication time interval less than 300ms.
