# IOMOD Meter # Firmware version 1 # IOMOD Meter User Manual ### Introduction IOMod Meter is a compact-sized stand-alone power meter for measuring analog AC input signals from low-power current and voltage sensors. It measures three phases of AC voltages and currents. The measured and calculated values are transmitted to the host system via communication protocol **IEC 60870-5-103 or Modbus RTU**. ### Features - 3 AC current sensor inputs according to IEC 60044-8 (nominal value 225mV) - 3 AC voltage sensor inputs according to IEC 60044-7 (nominal value 3.25/ √3 V) - Communication protocols : IEC 60870-5-103 or Modbus RTU - 32 samples per cycle - FFT-based calculation with harmonic information - RS485 interface with a switchable terminating resistor - Status and data transmission (Rx and Tx) indication. - Configurable over USB - Drag-and-Drop firmware upgrade over USB - A small-sized case with a removable front panel - DIN rail mount - Operating temperature: from -30 to +70°C - Power Requirements: 12-24 VDC ### Common configuration information 1. Nominal system frequency. In order to get correct three-phase system measurements, a user must select nominal system frequency – either 50Hz or 60Hz. 2. Process parameters. There user can set rated primary current and voltage values which are used for calculating measured data in primary values. Those values are available only via float registers in the Modbus RTU protocol. 3. Configuration of sensors. The power meter is designed to work with standard low-power current and voltage sensors with a nominal output value of 225mV for the current sensor and 3.25√3 V (1.876V) for the voltage sensor. If current sensors have some deviation from the nominal value, a user can define the exact sensor voltage. The new value will be set the same for all current sensors inputs. Each voltage sensor input has a separate correction parameter called the magnitude factor. This factor is used to multiply measured voltage. For example, if a sensor has a 5% lower output voltage, the user can set the magnitude to 1050. The actual factor will be 1.05 and the measured value will be multiplied by this factor. This factor can be used in cases when several measuring devices are connected to the same sensor in parallel. In this case, the parallel connection will reduce the internal resistance of the sensor and consequently output voltage. The magnitude factor can be used to compensate for this deviation. 4. Communication protocol. Selection of IEC 60870-5-103 or Modbus RTU communication protocol. ### Connection diagram [![image-1726046626130.png](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/scaled-1680-/image-1726046626130.png)](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/image-1726046626130.png) Fig. 4.1.

### RS485 Interface IOMod Meter has an integrated 120Ω termination resistor, which can be enabled or disabled via the configuration terminal. It is recommended to use termination at each end of the RS485 cable. See the typical connection diagram in Fig. 6.1. ![Fig. 6.1. Typical IOMod connection diagram](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/embedded-image-dwo5ju1g.png)Fig. 6.1. Typical IOMod connection diagram IOMod Meter has a 1/8 Unit load receiver which allows having up to 255 units on a single line (compared to standard 32 units). To reduce reflections keep the stubs (cable distance from the main RS485 bus line) as short as possible. ### Configuration over USB #### Driver installation The device requires USB drivers to work as a Virtual COM port. The first-time connection between the device and the computer could result in a “Device driver software was not successfully installed” error (as in Fig. 7.1). ![Fig. 7.1. Unsuccessful device software installation error ](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/embedded-image-ujdsgen8.png)Fig. 7.1. Unsuccessful device software installation error A user then should manually install drivers by selecting a downloaded driver folder: - Go to Control Panel -> Device Manager; - Select a failing device; - Press “Update driver software”; the screen as in Fig. 7.2. should appear: ![Fig. 7.2. Device driver software update message ](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/embedded-image-a8xkogv4.png)Fig. 7.2. Device driver software update message ● Select “x86” driver for a 32-bit machine or x64 for a 64-bit machine. If not sure, select a root folder (folder in which x64 and x86 lay inside, as in Fig. 7.3). ![Fig. 7.3. Device driver folder content](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/embedded-image-5juui1h0.png)Fig. 7.3. Device driver folder content #### IOMod configuration via PuTTY terminal A configuration of the IOMod device is done through CLI (Command Line Interface) on the virtual COM port. Drivers needed for Microsoft Windows to install VCOM will be provided. To open up CLI simply connect to a specific V-COM port with terminal software (advised to use PuTTY terminal software. If other software is being used, a user might need to send <return> symbol after each command). When connected user should immediately see the main screen (Fig. 7.4). ![Fig. 7.4. The main menu](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/embedded-image-k72g5k9u.png)Fig. 7.4. The main menu Navigation is performed by sending the character shown in square brackets to a terminal. A user then proceeds by following on-screen instructions. For example, to set the baud rate, press \[2\] to enter a new link address - press \[1\]; press \[RETURN\] to save, or \[ESC\] to cancel changes. When done, press \[0\] (exit) before disconnecting the device. Default values are set by pressing \[7\] on the main screen, and confirming changes \[1\].

It is highly advised to exit the main screen before disconnecting the device

If the terminal window is closed accidentally, a user can connect the terminal program again, and press any key on a keyboard to show the main menu again. #### Configuration terminal menu

### IEC 60870-5-103 operational information When the IEC-60870-5-103 protocol is selected IOMod uses a standard communication scheme. Initiation, control messages, and queries are initiated by a master (controlling station), while the IOMod device (controlled station) only answers requests and sends values. The first message sent by the master should be RESET CU to restart communication. When *acknowledge* (ACK) packet is sent from a slave device, a master may proceed with acquiring *General Interrogation* and sending *Time synchronization* packets. When this initialization is complete, the master should poll the IOMod device with Class 1 and Class 2 requests. Class 2 is used when the master polls for cyclic data. The controlled device responds when spontaneous data exists and the master then sends a request for Class 1. The controlled station responds with a time-tagged message. As IOMod Meter doesn’t have any digital inputs, only analog ones, therefore the general interrogation returns nothing. Values of measurements are returned cyclically as a response to Class 2 data request Specific settings for the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol: 3. Measurand set selection. A user can select which predefined measurand set will be transmitted to the host system. Available measurand sets are presented in table 8.1. 4. Scale factor. The communication protocol IEC 60870-5-103 only lets 13-bit signed values in the range of -1...+1. When an IEC 60870-5-103 measurand, for example, phase voltage, is scaled as 2.4, it means that the measurand value 1 corresponds to 2.4×Un, measurand value 0.5 corresponds to 1.2×In, and so on. If the measurand value, in this case, exceeds 2.4×Un, the IEC 60870-5-103 object value saturates at its maximum value and an overflow flag is set in the IEC 60870-5-103 object transmission 5. Device function type. By default, IOMod has IEC 60870-5-103 Function Type set to 253. If this Function type for some reason is not suitable – a user can define any other type Table 8.1.

- \* - I4 and U4 measured values are available in IOMOD 4Cs4Vs only. ### Modbus RTU operational information When Modbus RTU protocol is selected IOMod acts as a slave device and waits for requests from the Modbus master. For measurement, the reading master can send a Read Holding Register request (FC 03) or a Read Input Register (FC 04). Both requests give the same value which depends on the register number only. In order to change internal settings, the Modbus master can send a Write Single Register (FC 06) request. Request with an unsupported function code or register number out of range will be answered with the corresponding exception. Measurement results in nominal values have integer type, while results in primary values are 32-bit float type. Table 9.1. List of registers with measurement results in nominal values.

### 4. Mounting and Installation #### 4.1 Connection Diagrams In this chapter the various options of connecting the device to medium-voltage systems are discussed. ##### 4.1.1 3 Low-Power Current Sensor, 3 Low-Power Voltage Sensors In the case of 3I3U connection mode, IOMod Meter can be connected to a medium-voltage system by using low-power current and low-power voltage sensors (Fig. 4.1.1.1). In this scenario, the neutral current I₀and the neutral voltage U₀are calculated by taking a vector sum of appropriate measurements. IOMod Meter GND inputs are not required to be connected to the neutral line because they are interconnected with signal neutral inputs (Fig. 1.2.1). [![image-1740043377566.png](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/image-1740043377566.png)](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/image-1740043377566.png) Fig. 4.1.1.1. Connection diagram with 3 low-power current and 3 low-power voltage sensors ##### 4.1.2 Fault Passage Indicator for two feeders The special feature of IOMod Meter is the ability to perform the metering of two feeders (Fig. 4.1.2.1). In this case, 3I3I connection mode needs to be enabled in the [IOMod Utility](https://wiki.elseta.com/books/tools-and-software/page/iomod-utility) (Fig. 4.1.2.2). [![image-1740043505158.png](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/image-1740043505158.png)](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/image-1740043505158.png) Fig. 4.1.2.1. IOMod Meter connection diagram for two feeders [![image-1738845605650.png](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/image-1738845605650.png)](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/image-1738845605650.png) Fig. 4.1.2.2. IOMod Utility General settings tab with Connection mode set to 3I3I This mode allows us to use IOMod Meter voltage inputs for current measurements, so that the currents of both feeders are measured simultaneously. In the connection scheme above (Fig. 4.1.2.1), IOMod Meter, each input is connected to the pair of feeders via low-power current sensors. ##### 4.1.3 3 Low-Power Voltage Sensor, 2 Phase Current, and Core Balance Current Transformer IOMod Meter allows direct measurement of the neutral current. To use this feature, I₀current acquiring mode needs to be switched in [IOMod Utility](https://wiki.elseta.com/books/tools-and-software/page/iomod-utility) from calculated to metered (Fig. 4.1.3.1). [![image-1738845968961.png](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/image-1738845968961.png)](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/image-1738845968961.png) Fig. 4.1.3.1. IOMod Utility 3I3U settings view with I₀ mode switched to metered After enabling I₀metered mode IOMod Meter second phase input (Ib+/N) becomes neutral current input. Since neutral current measurements are performed directly instead of being calculated, it allows to achieve much higher precision and sensitivity. While neutral current is being metered directly, the second phase measurements are calculated by taking a vector sum of the measured currents. In the scheme below (Fig. 4.1.3.2), current and voltage measurements are taken by using low-power current and low-power voltage sensors. The second input (Ib+/N) is connected to a low-power current sensor, which is placed on the neutral line. [![image-1740043531245.png](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/image-1740043531245.png)](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/image-1740043531245.png) Fig. 4.1.3.2. IOMod Meter I₀metered mode connection diagram ##### 4.1.4 2-Phase Current and Core Balance Current Transformer for two feeders IOMod Meter operating in I₀metered mode preserves the ability of monitoring the currents of two feeders (Fig. 4.1.4.1). In this case, 3I3I connection mode needs to be enabled in [IOMod Utility](https://wiki.elseta.com/books/tools-and-software/page/iomod-utility) (Fig. 4.1.4.2). 3I3I connection mode allows using voltage inputs as second channel current inputs. [![image-1740043554234.png](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/image-1740043554234.png)](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/image-1740043554234.png) Fig. 4.1.4.1. IOMod Meter connection diagram for two feeders with both channels I₀metered mode In the connection scheme above (Fig. 4.1.4.1), IOMod Meter current inputs are connected to the pair of feeders via low-power current sensors. Moreover, in [IOMod Utility](https://wiki.elseta.com/books/tools-and-software/page/iomod-utility) I₀mode of both current input channels needs to be changed from calculated to metered (Fig. 4.1.4.2). [![image-1738846533899.png](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/image-1738846533899.png)](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/image-1738846533899.png) Fig. 4.1.4.2. IOMod Utility 3I3I settings view with I₀ mode of both channels set to metered. ##### 4.1.5 Conventional Current transformers (CT) connection via CT adapters. IOMod Meter can take current measurements via a current transformer adapter (Fig. 4.1.5.1). Contrary to the current sensors, current transformers are usually intended for transforming priorly lowered currents from secondary distribution networks. [![image-1740043573316.png](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/image-1740043573316.png)](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/image-1740043573316.png) Fig. 4.1.5.1.

IOMod Meter can take voltage measurements via a voltage transformer adapter (Fig. 4.1.6.1). Contrary to the voltage sensors, voltage transformers are usually intended for transforming priorly lowered voltages from secondary distribution networks. [![image-1740043586442.png](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/image-1740043586442.png)](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/image-1740043586442.png) Fig. 4.1.6.1. IOMod Meter connection diagram with low-power current sensors and voltage transformer adapter #### 4.2 RS485 Interface IOMod Meter has an integrated 120 Ω termination resistor, which can be enabled or disabled via the configuration terminal. It is recommended that termination be used at each end of the RS-485 cable. IOMod Meter has a 1/8 Unit load receiver, allowing up to 255 units on a single line (compared to the standard 32 units). To reduce reflections, keep the stubs (cable distance from the main RS485 bus line) as short as possible. #### 4.3 Power Supply IOMod Meter need to be powered by a 9–33 V power source. IOMOD Meter power supply inputs are located next to RS485 interface inputs (Fig. 4.3.1). [![image-1738847702757.png](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/image-1738847702757.png)](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/image-1738847702757.png) Fig. 4.3.1. Power supply inputs physical location #### 4.4 USB Connection IOMod Meter device has a USB mini connection port. Its primary function is the physical connection establishment between the IOMod and a PC. By selecting the USB interface and correct communication port in [IOMod Utility](https://wiki.elseta.com/books/tools-and-software/page/iomod-utility) (Fig. 4.4.1), a user can connect to the IOMod to control its parameters and monitor its measured data and the status of fault detection functions. Also, this connection can be used for powering the module. ![](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/embedded-image-aekeuifq.png) Fig. 4.4.1.

IOMOD Meter USB connection port physical location ### 5. Parametrization In this section, the IOMod Meter settings configuration is described. IOMod Meter configuration is performed via IOMod Utility (the manual can be accessed [here](https://wiki.elseta.com/books/tools-and-software/page/iomod-utility)). All IOMod-related settings can be found in the "Iomod settings" tab (Fig. 5.1). ![](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/embedded-image-qjzixxgh.png) Fig. 5.1. IOMod settings tab #### 5.1 General Parameters To configure IOMod Meter general settings, open the "Iomod settings" tab in IOMod Utility. After clicking on "Iomod settings", the "General" section opens (Fig. 5.1.1). [![image-1738849875787.png](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/image-1738849875787.png)](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/image-1738849875787.png) Fig. 5.1.1. IOMod Utility with IOMod Meter general settings window opened. The general settings consist of two parameters, which apply to all communication protocols (Table 5.1.1). "Measurands set" and "Scale factor" are defined only in the context of the IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocol. The last parameter, "Value update time (ms)", is defined only in the context of IEC 60870-5-101 and IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocols. Table 5.1.1. IOMOD Meter general parameter ranges and default values.

Parameter	Range	Default value
Connection mode	3I3I, 3I3U	3I3U
Frequency	50 Hz, 60 Hz	50 Hz
Value update time (ms) \*	20-60000	500
Measurands set \\	1-4	1
Scale factor \\	1.2, 1.4	1.2

*\*The parameter is defined only for IEC 60870-5-101 and IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocols.* *\*\* The parameters are defined only for the IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocol.* The first parameter "Connection mode" allows us to define how the values measured with voltage inputs (terminals 7–12, see Fig. 2.2.1) are supposed to be interpreted. The values are interpreted as voltage measurements by default. This connection mode is denoted by the 3I3U designation. 3I3U designation means "3 currents and 3 voltages", meaning that both current and voltage measurements are being taken from a feeder. 3I3U connection mode parameters can be found in a separate settings section, which is labelled with the communication mode designation (connection mode settings are described in the next section). Selecting 3I3I connection mode in IOMod Utility changes IOMod Setting sections – 3I3U changes to 3I3I. IOMod Meter, in 3I3I connection mode, interprets the values measured with voltage inputs (terminals 7–12, see Fig. 2.2.1) as current measurements. 3I3I designation means – "3 currents and 3 currents", meaning that the voltage inputs become the second channel current inputs. The 3I3I settings section allows us to modify connection mode parameters (described in the next section). The "Frequency" parameter allows us to set the nominal frequency of the power line to which the IOMod Meter is connected. If the IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocol is selected, the "Measurands set" parameter sets one of the lists of measurements (Table 6.3.2, Table 6.3.3), which is going to be sent to a master device. If the IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocol is selected, the "Scale factor" parameter sets a value by which all measurements are going to be multiplied. The value update time (ms) parameter defines how frequently the updated values are going to be sent to a controlling station via IEC 60870-5-101 or IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocols. #### 5.2 Connection mode settings As was described earlier IOMod Meter supports two connection modes – 3I3U and 3I3I. After selecting one of them in General settings (Fig. 5.1.1), a new respectively named section appears. In this subsection, the parameters of a specific connection mode are going to be described. ##### 5.2.1 3I3U connection mode parameters The 3I3U connection mode parameters section has six parameters (Table 5.2), which are going to be described below. Table 5.2.1.1 3I3U connection mode parameters.

Parameter	Range	Default value
Primary current (A)	1–2000	100
Primary voltage (kV)	0.2–60.0	10.0
Current sensor (mV)	100–300	225
Voltage sensor (V)	1.0–3.0	1.876
I0 mode	Calculated, Metered	Calculated
Primary current I0	1–2000	100

- The "Primary current (A)" parameter defines the nominal input current of a current sensor or a current transformer. - The "Primary voltage (kV)" parameter sets the nominal input line voltage of a voltage sensor or a voltage transformer. If instead of the line voltage, the sensor or adapter converts the phase voltage, still, the value of the line voltage must be used. For example, if a voltage sensor declares the primary voltage of 10/√3 kV, then 10 kV must be used for the "Primary voltage (kV)" parameter, for it is the line voltage of the network. - The "Current sensor (mV)" parameter defines the nominal output voltage of a current sensor or a current transformer. - The "Voltage sensor (V)" parameter defines the nominal output phase voltage of a voltage sensor or a voltage transformer. Contrary to the Primary Voltage, the phase voltage must be used for this parameter. For example, if a voltage sensor declares the secondary voltage of 3.25/√3 V, then the approximate phase voltage value must be used. It means, that the given expression must be evaluated (3.25/√3 ≈ 1.876 V) and the result must be entered into the "Voltage sensor (V)" parameter (1.876 V). - The "I0 mode" parameter defines the way of obtaining the neutral current values. The default parameter value is "Calculated", meaning that the value of the neutral current is going to be calculated by taking the phase current measurements. If "Metered" is selected, then the neutral current values are expected to be measured directly. - The "Primary current I0" parameter defines the nominal input neutral current which is being measured by a Core Balance Current Transformer. ##### 5.2.2 3I3I connection mode parameters The 3I3I connection mode parameters section has eight parameters (Table 5.3), which are going to be described below. Table 5.2.2.1 3I3I connection mode parameters.

Parameter	Range	Default value
Primary current ch1 (A)	1–2000	100
Primary current ch2 (A)	1–2000	100
Current sensor ch1 (mV)	100–300	225
Current sensor ch2 (mV)	100–300	225
I0 mode ch1	Calculated, Metered	Calculated
I0 mode ch2	Calculated, Metered	Calculated

Primary current I0 ch2	1–2000	100

- The "Primary current ch1 (A)" parameter sets the nominal input current of a current sensor or a current transformer which is connected to the first channel current inputs. - The "Primary current ch2 (A)" parameter sets the nominal input current of a current sensor or a current transformer which is connected to the second channel current inputs. - The "Current sensor ch1 (mV)" parameter defines the nominal output voltage of a current sensor or a current transformer which is connected to the first channel current inputs. - The "Current sensor ch2 (mV)" parameter defines the nominal output voltage of a current sensor or a current transformer which is connected to the second channel current inputs. - The "I0 mode ch1" parameter defines the way of obtaining the neutral current values with the first channel current inputs. The default parameter value is "Calculated", meaning that the value of the neutral current is going to be calculated by taking the phase current measurements. If "Metered" is selected, then the neutral current values are expected to be measured directly. - The "I0 mode ch2" parameter defines the way of obtaining the neutral current values with the second channel current inputs. The default parameter value is "Calculated", meaning that the value of the neutral current is going to be calculated by taking the phase current measurements. If "Metered" is selected, then the neutral current values are expected to be measured directly. - The "Primary current I0 ch1" parameter defines the nominal input neutral current which is being measured by a Core Balance Current Transformer connected to the first channel current inputs. - The "Primary current I0 ch2" parameter defines the nominal input neutral current which is being measured by a Core Balance Current Transformer connected to the second channel current inputs. #### 5.3 Data Select The data select tab (Fig. 5.3.1) is the last IOMod settings section, which provides a way to control the data being sent via the IEC 60870-5-101 communication protocol. The IOA (Information Object Address) of each data unit is specified in the brackets to the right of a parameter's name. To include a parameter to a set of parameters which are sent via IEC 60870-5-101 communication protocol a checkbox to the right of a parameter's name needs to be checked.

IOMOD Meter Data select tab view #### 5.4 Diagnostics The IOMod Utility Diagnostics tab allows real-time monitoring of IOMod Meter measurements and harmonics statuses. The diagnostics mode of both measurements and harmonics is turned off by default. This is indicated by the red "Offline" word designation and by the unchanging black circle (Fig. 5.4.1, Fig. 5.4.2). [![image-1738918161285.png](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/image-1738918161285.png)](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/image-1738918161285.png) Fig. 5.4.1.

The button can be pressed in either the Diagnostics sections (Measurements or Harmonics). After pressing the "Connect" button, the word designation of Diagnostics mode changes to "Online", the black circle starts blinking, and the button name changes to "Disconnect". It is advisable to turn off Diagnostics mode before setting new IOMod Meter parameters. To turn off Diagnostics real-time monitoring mode, the "Disconnect" button needs to be pressed. ### 6. Communication Protocols IOMod Meter supports three communication protocols: Modbus RTU, IEC 60870-5-101 and IEC 60870-5-103. Using these communication protocols, a user via a master device can read the measured data from the device. The communication protocol can be selected using the IOMod Utility (the IOMod Utility manual can be accessed [here](https://wiki.elseta.com/books/tools-and-software/page/iomod-utility)). #### 6.1 Modbus RTU operational information When the Modbus RTU protocol is selected IOMod Meter acts as a slave device and waits for requests from the Modbus master. For reading the measurements, a master can send a Read Input Register (FC 04) request. A request with an unsupported function code or register number out of range will be answered with the corresponding exception. Measurement results in nominal values have an integer type, while results in primary values are 32-bit float type. Table 6.1.1 Nominal values in integer format. The data can be read using a Modbus FC4 request.

#### 6.2 IEC 60870-5-101 operational information IEC 60870-5-101 (IEC101) is a communication protocol designed for telecontrol applications in power systems, enabling communication between a master station and slave devices (e.g., Remote Terminal Units or RTUs). The implementation of IEC101 protocol allows for a data transfer to be initiated only by a master (unbalanced mode). IOMod Meter via IEC101 protocol transmits various measurement signals in a standardized format. These signals are predefined in the IOMod and mapped to corresponding Information Object Addresses (IOA). Using IOMod devices along with [WCC Lite](https://wiki.elseta.com/shelves/wcclite-rtu-and-datalogger) allows sending broadcast time synchronization messages to multiple IOMod devices simultaneously. The protocol distinguishes between **Type Identifiers (TI)**, which, according to the standard, define the format, structure and type of the data being sent. The measurement signals are assigned to two different Type Identifiers, 7 and 13. All the measurements are represented in absolute values without any scaling and using standard units. Almost every measurement can be sent using 13 ("measured value, short floating-point number"). The measurements which are sent with TI 13 signals are not marked with timestamps. This is because these signals are not intended for spontaneous transmission upon a change, but rather are to be polled by a controlling (master) station. All energy measurements are assigned to the signals with TI 7, which stands for "bitstring of 32 bits". The necessity for other data formats for the energy measurements comes from the fact that they are saved in a 32-bit unsigned integer data type. The usage of an integer type instead of a float ensures better precision. Table 6.2.1 List of IEC101 measurement signals

#### 6.3 IEC 60870-5-103 operational information When the IEC-60870-5-103 protocol is selected, IOMod Meter uses a standard communication scheme. Initiation, control messages, and queries are initiated by a master (controlling station), while the IOMod device (controlled station) only answers requests and sends values. The first message sent by the master should be RESET CU to restart communication. When an *acknowledge* (ACK) packet is sent from a slave device, a master may proceed with acquiring *General Interrogation* and sending *Time synchronization* packets. When this initialization is complete, the master should poll the IOMod Meter with Class 1 and Class 2 requests. Class 2 is used when the master polls for cyclic data. The controlled device responds when spontaneous data exists and the master then sends a request for Class 1. The controlled station responds with a time-tagged message. Time synchronization is critical for logging events. To synchronize time, the master sends a Time Sync command with function 0 and Cause of Transmission (COT) 8. According to the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol specification, time synchronization can be performed for multiple devices using broadcast messages. For broadcast time synchronization, the master device sends a periodic signal with a time stamp to synchronize the system time of slave devices. If synchronization fails, devices default to their local system time until they successfully resynchronize. As IOMod Meter does not have any digital inputs, only analog ones, the general interrogation returns nothing. Values of measurements are returned cyclically as a response to Class 2 data requests. Specific settings for the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol: 1. Measurand set selection. A user can select which predefined measurand set will be transmitted to the host system. Available measurand sets are presented in Table 6.3.1. 2. Scale factor. The communication protocol IEC 60870-5-103 only lets 13-bit signed values in the range of -1...+1. When an IEC 60870-5-103 measurand, for example, phase voltage, is scaled as 2.4, it means that the measurand value 1 corresponds to 2.4 multiplied by Un, the measurand value 0.5 corresponds to 1.2 multiplied by In, and so on. If the measurand value, in this case, exceeds 2.4 multiplied by Un, the IEC 60870-5-103 object value saturates at its maximum value, and an overflow flag is set in the IEC 60870-5-103 object transmission. 3. Device function type. By default, IOMod has the IEC 60870-5-103 Function Type set to 253. If this Function type, for some reason, is not suitable, a user can define any other type Table 6.3.1.

A certain set of measurements can be configured in IOMod Utility General settings (see Table 5.1.1, Fig. 6.3.1). [![image-1729167116205.png](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-10/scaled-1680-/image-1729167116205.png)](https://wiki.elseta.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-10/image-1729167116205.png) Fig. 6.3.1. IOMod Utility General settings IEC 60870-5-103 protocol parameters Type 9 signals allocate only 13 bits for measurement values, which is not enough for float values to be transferred. For that reason, all measurement data are being scaled. However, not all values are scaled the same. All currents, voltages and power measurements are scaled using the same algorithm. The range of the maximum and the minimum measurement values, which can be transferred with the IEC103 protocol, is calculated by multiplying the nominal value by the scale factor: *MMV = SF* ⋅ *NV* (6.3.1) - MMV – maximum measurement value; - NV – nominal value; - SF – scale factor; The scale factor of most measurements can be selected in IOMod Utility General settings (Table 5.1.1, Fig. 6.3.1). The maximum measurement value (MMV) is only the upper limit of the allowed range. The full allowed range goes from -MMV up to +MMV. Since the first bit is used to denote the sign, the maximum absolute value, which can be sent via IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocol, is 2¹²= 4096. The MMV is mapped to this value, so that if the measured value is equal to the MMV, 4096 is going to be sent to a controlling station via IEC103 protocol. If a measurement value exceeds MMV, then the overflow is going to be indicated by the signal and 4096 is going to be sent. If a measured value is inside the allowed range, then the scaled value, which is going to be sent using the IEC103 signal, is calculated by multiplying it by 4096 and dividing it by the maximum measurement value: *SV = MV ⋅ 4096MMV, where -MMV ≤ MV ≤ +MMV* (6.3.2) - SV – scaled value, which is going to be sent using IEC103 protocol; - MV – measured value, which must be in the allowed range; - MMV – maximum measurement value; In the special case where the measured value is equal to the nominal value, the scaled value formula can be simplified as: *SV = NV ⋅ 4096SF ⋅ NV = 4096SF* (6.3.3) The scaled values of other measurands are calculated by using different scaling techniques. The scaled frequency is calculated by multiplying the measured frequency by 50. All angle measurements are scaled by a factor of 10.
