company and/or CIRCUTOR's after-sales service.
2.- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ReadWatt is an impulse sensor that can be attached to an energy meter verification impulse
emitter so that, through a MODBUS RTU protocol, there is an energy totaliser with the same
accuracy as the meter itself, but without physical access being necessary.
The unit features:
- 1 impulse indicator LED.

- 1 impulse output.
- RS-232 communications with MODBUS RTU protocol.
- RS-485 communications with MODBUS RTU protocol.

3.- UNIT INSTALLATION
3.1.- PRIOR RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to use the unit safely, it is critical that individuals who handle it follow
the safety measures set out in the standards of the country where it is being
used, use the necessary personal protective equipment, and pay attention to
the various warnings indicated in this instruction manual.
The ReadWatt unit must be installed by authorised and qualified staff.
The power supply plug must be disconnected before handling, altering the connections or
replacing the unit. It is dangerous to handle the unit while it is powered.
Also, it is critical to keep the cables in perfect condition in order to avoid accidents, personal
injury and damage to installations.
The manufacturer of the unit is not responsible for any damage resulting from failure by the
user or installer to heed the warnings and/or recommendations set out in this manual, nor for
damage resulting from the use of non-original products or accessories or those made by other
manufacturers.
If an anomaly or malfunction is detected in the unit, do not use it to take any measurements.
Inspect the work area before taking any measurements. Do not take measurements in dan-
gerous areas or where there is a risk of explosion.
Disconnect the unit from the power supply (unit and measuring system power
supply) before maintaining, repairing or handling the unit's connections.
Please contact the after-sales service if you suspect that there is an operational
fault in the unit.
The installation where the unit is connected must have an earthing and the DC
ripple voltage of the power supply cannot exceed 10%.
ReadWatt
3.2.- INSTALLATION
The unit is installed on the energy meter.
The first step for installing ReadWatt is to separate the two parts of the Velcro strap. Take one
of them, remove the protective paper and stick the adhesive part of the Velcro strap to the
rear of the unit ( Figure 1).
Figure 1: Stick part of the Velcro strap to the rear of the READWATT.
Remove the protective paper from the other part of the Velcro strap and stick the adhesive
part to the optical port of the billing meter (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Stick a part of the Velcro strap to the optical port of the meter.
ReadWatt
Now simply place the ReadWatt on the energy meter's Velcro strap (Figure 3).
Figure 3: ReadWatt installed.
Finally, connect the cable delivered with the unit to the ReadWatt's RJ45 connector.
Figure 4: Cable connection.

4.- OPERATION
ReadWatt reads the light impulses from the meter, whose value is shown in real time on a
MODBUS parameter, which can be queried by another application.
The unit reads kWh consumed or generated and totalizes them in the MODBUS meter, which
works incrementally, being able to generate, for example, a load curve in external software.
4.1.- IMPULSE LED
The unit has an impulse LED with the same rate as the LED on which impulses are captured.
This safeguards the functionality of the meter's LED.
This LED has the same metrological validity as the meter's LED.
LED
Figure 8:Readwatt LED indicators
During start-up, the LED indicates the speed of the communication bus, by emitting 1, 2 or 3
light impulses, see Table 3.
Table 3: Communication bus speed.
No. of pulses Speed
1 9600 bauds
2 19200 bauds
3 38400 bauds
4.2.- IMPULSE OUTPUT
The unit has a transistor output (terminal no. 7 in Table 2) to activate PLC or similar inputs.
Through MODBUS it is possible to configure the impulse width and ratio between output im-
pulses and impulses read from the energy meter verification LED.
ReadWatt
4.3- COMMUNICATIONS
ReadWatt has two communications ports, RS-232 and RS-485. Both ports can be used simul-
taneously.
The transmission speed, Baudrate, is the same for both ports and can be configured.
4.3.1.- MODBUS PROTOCOL
The MODBUS protocol is a communication standard in the industry that enables the network
connection of multiple units, where there is a master and multiple slaves. Within the MODBUS
protocol ReadWatt uses the RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) mode.
In RTU mode the start and end of the message is detected with silences with a minimum of 3.5
characters and the 16-bit CRC error detection method is used.
The MODBUS functions implemented in the unit are:
Functions 03 and 04. Reading of logs.

Function 10. Writing of multiple logs.
4.3.2.- READ COMMANDS
ReadWatt supports the integer type read functions: 0x03 and 0x04.
The unit's MODBUS variables are specified in Table 4.
Example: Reading of the unit's serial number with peripheral number 01.
We will send the following MODBUS frame:
Func-
Address Initial log Log no. CRC
tion
01 04 0060 0002 CRC
The unit will respond to us with the next frame:
Func- No. of
Address Serial no. CRC
tion bytes
01 04 04 XXXX XXXX CRC
Note: The values are shown in hexadecimal.
The number of requested logs must be the same as the size of the variable requested.
It is possible to read several consecutive addresses, if the request meets the correct format.
ReadWatt
4.3.3.- WRITE COMMANDS
ReadWatt supports the integer type write functions: 0x10.

The unit's MODBUS variables are specified in Table 4.
Example: Changing the MODBUS address of peripheral 01 to the address 0x000A.
We will send the following MODBUS frame:
Func-
Address Initial log Log no. No. bytes Data CRC
tion
01 10 0008 0001 02 000A CRC
The unit will respond to us with the next frame:
Func-
Address Initial log Log no. CRC
tion
01 10 0008 0001 CRC
Note: The values are shown in hexadecimal.
The number of logs to write must be the same as the size of the variable that is being
accessed.
It is possible to write several consecutive addresses, if the request meets the correct format.

Transformation ratio:
(1)
The pulses generated by a billing meter are always associated to the secondary, so that the
Conversion Ratio (Transformation Ratio) must be programmed in the case of Medium Voltage
installations for transferring the secondary pulses to the real primary measurement.
Example:
Low Voltage Installation:
Forward voltage: 1/1 -- Transformation ratio = 1.
Medium Voltage Installation:
Voltage Primary Current Primary

Transformation ratio = X
Voltage Secondary Current Secondary
In a Medium Voltage installation, where:
Voltage Primary = 27500 V, Voltage Secondary = 110 V.

Current Primary = 200 A, Current Secondary= 5 A.
Transformation ratio = 10000.
4.3.5.- SPECIAL BROADCAST COMMAND
In case the peripheral number assigned to the ReadWatt device is unknown, you have the
broadcast command available (address 00). With this command you can change certain basic
parameters, such as the MODBUS peripheral number or communication speed.
For this you need to know the serial number of the device you wish to access.
The serial number is on the front panel of the unit (Figure 9); this number must be translated
into hexadecimal language so that it can be sent in the broadcast command.
Serie no
( in decimal)

It is important to remember that because it is a broadcast frame, there is no confirmation reply.
