GE Multilin F650 Digital Bay Controller B-15
APPENDIX B B.1 MODBUS PROTOCOL FOR 650
B
B.1.5.2 EVENT STRUCTURE
Each event has 14 bytes, being its format:
- Short (2 bytes): event number (0 - 2^12 + carry bit)
- Short (2 bytes): events bit number (from 0 to 191).
- Short (2 bytes): the 0 bit indicates the event value (0 or 1) and the 15 bit whether it is event (to
distinguish not valid values, in case of everything was set to 0)
- Double unsigned (8 bytes): milliseconds from 1 January 2000
The 0xFCFF-address usefulness is for when it is desired to read all the available events in the F650, something that will be
done following a master start up.
WARNING! Unlike a standard ModBus address, these addresses consist of 14 bytes each one, instead of the 2 used in
ModBus. This way, each event, which has a structure of 14 bytes, will be contained in one address, as shown on the table
below:
Imagine that the events buffer contains the following information:
105 registers: 15 events * 7 registers.
(NOTE: the 0x03FF address will have the event number 7677 because the 7676 is the last one).
a) EVENTS COLLECTION PROCESS
ALL EVENTS
There are two possibilities:
First possibility: start in 0xFCFF address and read events 15 by 15. The frame sent to the relay is the following one:
0xFD00 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte

0xFDFF 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte 1byte
