AD-KAB 10 GX

Description

The AD-KAB10 GX provides a remote controllable relay switching contact (changeover contact). Remote control is via the RS-485 bus interface. The device communication is realized using the MODBUS RTU protocol.
The power supply and the RS485 bus connection is 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 static contact control is carried out with a control value 0 or 1.
A pulse output function (with 1 Hz) is triggered with a control value of 1 to 255 and can be modified or stopped at any time with other values. An optical search function allows the localization of a single device in a device network when in a cabinet several devices are on a top hat rail. For this purpose, the green LED is set in a time-limited flashing mode, between 1 and 255 seconds.
For the relay, a defined start state can be set so that when the supply voltage returns after a power failure, a system can assume the desired start state.
The 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-KAB 10 GX has an 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 only via the standard data format (19200, e, 8.1) accessible. The position 0 thus represents a service position, the example can be used during parameterization error.

The AD-KAB 10 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, but can also be purchased 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 48 consecutive data transfer sets,
with 5 configuration registers each.

Start address	Reg. number	Name	Datatype	[Code] = Value	read	write
40611	1	Source address [1]	U16	1...98	yes	yes
40612	1	Source register [1]	U16	nnnnn	yes	yes
40613	1	Target address [1]	U16	1...99	yes	yes
40614	1	Target register [1]	U16	nnnnn	yes	yes
40615	1	Register count [1]	U16	1/2	yes	yes

40847	1	Source register [48]	U16	nnnnn	yes	yes
40848	1	Target address [48]	U16	1...99	yes	yes
40849	1	Target register [48]	U16	nnnnn	yes	yes
40850	1	Register count [48]	U16	1/2	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.
