COMPUTER SETTINGS:
Shows the communication parameters necessary in order to establish communication with the unit. Such as slave address,
communication port, baud rate, parity, control type and startup mode.
Baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits and ModBus slave address for com2 (RS232 front port and second serial port in the
rear communication board) are displayed in the default text logotype main screen.
ModBus Slave Address: ModBus addresses used for serial and Ethernet communication. These parameters can be
accessed through the relay HMI and EnerVista 650 Setup software. In Relay HMI: go to âMain screen>View or Change
Settings menu >Product Setup>Communication> ModBus Protocolâ.
To move through the HMI, press intro (press in shuttle key) to enter in the internal menus and âescâ to exit.
In EnerVista 650 Setup go to âSetpoint>Product Setup>Communication Settings>ModBus Protocolâ
Communication ports: port used in the computer for serial communication.
Baud Rate: Baud rate for serial communication (from 1200 up to 115200 bauds in EnerVista 650 Setup, from 300 to
115200 in relay).
Parity: parity for serial communication. None, odd or even can be selected.
Baud rate and parity are serial communication parameters located both in serial ports menu. In relay HMI: go to âMain
screen>View or Change Settings menu >Product Setup>Communication> Serial Portsâ. In EnerVista 650 Setup, go
to âSetpoint>Product Setup>Communication Settings>Serial Portsâ.
Control Type: The available control modes are:
âą No Control Type, this option selects the serial communication mode, for use with serial communication ports (front
port, RS485, or plastic or glass fiber optic).
âą MODBUS/TCP, this option selects ModBus TCP/IP communication mode, for communication through the Ethernet
port. In this case, the top right window will show the typical parameters to be programmed; IP address, port address
and unit identifier in the MODBUS TCP SETUP section.
To access the relay IP address in relay HMI, go to âMain screen>View or Change Settings menu >Product
Setup>Communication> Ethernet>Ethernet 1 or 2â. In EnerVista 650 Setup, go to âSetpoint>Product
Setup>Communication Settings>Network (Ethernet)>Ethernet 1 or 2â.
For port address and unit identifier, in relay HMI go to âMain screen>View or Change Settings menu >Product
Setup>Communication>ModBus Protocolâ. In EnerVista 650 Setup, go to âSetpoint>Product
Setup>Communication Settings>ModBus Protocolâ.
âą MODEM, this option displays the parameter to set in case of using a modem for the communication, such as Phone
number, Time out (sec), init. command, type of dialing (tones or pulses).
COMMUNICATION CONTROL:
The Communication Control subsection is located on the bottom left communication window and shows the communication
status in the relay. There are two legends, âStatusâ in which the communication text status will be displayed and
âCommunicationâ which includes two buttons to start (ON) and stop (OFF) the communication with the relay.
Relay NOT communicating: In status, a message will be displayed with the communication status, e.g. 650 Setup is not
talking to an F650. The ON button will be available to press and the OFF button will be disabled (in grey color). In this stage
the relay is not communicating to the computer and the communication parameters can be modified to establish the
communication lately by pressing in the ON communication button.
