D.7
Date Code 20080918 Instruction Manual SEL-749M Relay
Modbus RTU Communications Protocol
Communications Protocol
Use Equation D.1 to calculate the actual (not scaled) value of the parameter
(setting):
Equation D.1
Use Equation D.2 to calculate the scaled setting value:
Equation D.2
The relay response to errors in the query are shown Table D.15:
61h Read Parameter
Text Command
The SEL-749M uses this function to allow a Modbus master to read parameter
text from the relay. One parameter text (setting name) is read in each query.
The relay responses to errors in the query are shown below:
