AD-AEB 20 GX

Description

The AD-AEB 20 GX enables 2-channel analog signal acquisition while providing digitally processed process variables. The signals are provided via an RS485 bus interface. Analog values ??and scaling values ??can be called up via implemented MODBUS commands. All settings regarding scaling or filters are made via MODBUS commands.
The power supply and the RS485 bus connection are possible via the rear DIN rail connector. The device is equipped with two rotary coding switches with which the bus address can be set on the device.
The input current shunt is automatically switched on when reading the current value. With the input signal switches (E1 / E2), each signal input can be permanently connected to the 50 Ohm terminating resistor in order to safely complete current loops even if the supply voltage fails.
The operating voltage is indicated by a green LED. The data communication is signaled by a yellow LED. Invalid measurement signals outside the defined measuring range are detected. In this case, the green LED flashes.
As well as interface settings as well as the device address can be modified during operation by means of Modbus commands. All Modbus register addresses and associated commands are listed in the document attachment.

Modbus Communication

The AD-AEB 20 GX contains a RS485 bus interface on which the Modbus RTU protocol is used. All control functions of the device can be executed via this bus interface. The preset standard data format is 19200,e,8,1. Adaptation to a different data format is possible at any time. The bus address (1...99) is set to the side-mounted rotary switches. The address 0 is not permitted for the bus operation. However, on this zero position the device is accessible only via the standard data format (19200, e, 8.1). The position 0 thus represents a service position (slaveaddress = 0), the example can be used during parameterization error.

The AD-AEB 20 GX supports two Modbus functions. These are the functions "Read Holding Registers" (0x03) and "Write Holding Registers" (0x10). With the "Read Holding Registers" function data can be read from the device and written with "Write Holding Registers" data. The individual register width is 16 bits. Please see the Modbus specification for detailed explanations of the Modbus communication. This is online available for free and can be downloaded from the Adamczewski homepage.

The following Modbus data are accessible via the RS485 bus:

After changing the interface parameters, a device reset is required.

Modbus master mode
The device can even work in Modbus master mode to transfer data between any devices within an RS485 line.
For Modbus master operation, starting with Modbus register 40611, there are 38 consecutive data transfer sets,
with 5 configuration registers each.
Possible data type conversion (Target register count):
18 = INT → FLOAT
33 = FLOAT → INT

Start address	Reg. number	Name	Datatype	[Code] = Value	read	write
40611	1	Source address [1]	U16	1...99	yes	yes
40612	1	Source register [1]	U16	nnnnn	yes	yes
40613	1	Target address [1]	U16	1...98	yes	yes

40799	1	Target register [38]	U16	nnnnn	yes	yes
40800	1	Register count [38]	U16	1/2/18/33	yes	yes

For the Modbus master mode, the parameter "Modbus master" must be activated and the address switch set to position 99.
Data transfer begins six seconds after activation or device restart.
A flashing green LED indicates a communication error.
