RS485/MODBUS interface3.3.2.
The RS485/MODBUS interface is used for remote control, remote readout and remote parameteri-
zing of ComPass B.
The ComPass B uses a 2-wire interface according to the RS485 standard with no line termination
in the ComPass B.
The ComPass B is a MODBUS Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) Slave.
Digital inputs/outputs3.3.3.
The ComPass B is provided with 4 digital (relay) outputs and one digital input. Each relay output
can be assigned with individual functionality either via the front panel control or the RS485/MOD-
BUS interface.
Power Supply3.4.
The ComPass B is powered by an external 24-230 V AC/DC ±10 % supply. An incorporated lithium
cell provides the energy in case of lack of external voltage supply, so the readout of all saved data
is ensured in case of a fault.
If external power supply stops, the ComPass B will stop short-circuit and earth fault detection as
well as MV network monitoring and communication via the RS485/MODBUS interface. It is ensured
that the relays are energized, even in case of a fault.
