I will investigate and report back.

Good to hear that you now also have a Eletechsup module and playing with it. The ones with a implementation on the MindMotion micro controller, NT48xxx, N4DAC02, N4IOA01 and 10IOAxx are very fast.

I needed a couple of modbus modules to test with and they where fairly cheap.

What do you mean, I tried it and it returned a list of temperatures that TC can directly parse

I will check and improve it if I can and repost the definition. Give me the weekend, ok ?

I am working on the definition for Circutor Cvm144
There is total 165 32 bit registers to read, but i can only read 20 at any time from the device
To read 20 works great. I get correct value

The 21e not so good, it shows the wrong value. In the current values i see 13.
If i do it at the commandline i get the right value of 50.0

The strange thing is that in de debug mode i also see at first RX = 50.0
And then the old string of 20 values again.

The 21e not so good, it shows the wrong value.

I cannot see what is wrong, but TC sometimes has issues decoding numbers (I have not looked for the issue), it can be fixed by #askValuesReadFormat
https://lygte-info.dk/project/TestControllerConfigDevice%20UK.html#readFormat

Modbus have a limit to how many values can be passed in each message, I do not remember if I check for it or just generate invalid messages when you go above that limit. But if you get the correct value from the command line, that is not the issue.

I hope you do not have two #askValues in the same definition, that do not work!


TC do decode this correct:
192.168.2.30: Rx: 01 03 04 00 00 01 F4 FA 24
;; CVM144: Rx <50.0>

0x01F4/10 is 50.0

[Benleentje]

Yes TC decode correctly but the value in currentvalue is different that is strange thing.

I use only one #askvalue
In the  picture below you see the value 0.1 at the end that shout be 50.0

TC do decode this correct:
192.168.2.30: Rx: 01 03 04 00 00 01 F4 FA 24
;; CVM144: Rx <50.0>

0x01F4/10 is 50.0

But why is there another line below the rx 50.0

[HKJ]

But why is there another line below the rx 50.0

If you mean this line:
;; CVM144: Rx as numbers <2189.0 1030.0 32.0 221.0 13.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 32.0 221.0 0.0 14.0 13.0 50.0>
It is the full result that is being parsed into the TC, in the sequence they are listed. If there are more numbers than #value statements, they are ignored. If less some values will be empty.

[Benleentje]

Thanks

Today i tryed to read 2 times 20 values and added 20 extra #value's
Know i see that there is 2 value's in between what has to filtered out. You told me to use #askValuesReadFormat. But i do not understand how to use it.

To be clear i get first 20 correct value's then i get 2 wrong values and then i get 20 good value's again

For know i captured the 2 extra value with a #value dummy1 - D0 line for each extra value. Then i know that value is not to be used.

For #askValuesReadFormat you simple put a f for each value you want and a x for each value to discard, i.e. #askValuesReadFormat ffffffffffffffffffxxffffffffffffffffffxxffffffffffffffffffxx it is possible to use other letter to get different number decoders/parsers.
But are you saying that of the 20 value you read the last two are useless? Then I would only read 18 values and start next command for the next valid values.

[KungFuJosh]

You told me to use #askValuesReadFormat. But i do not understand how to use it.

When in doubt, look through other definitions. For example:

; Format of answer: f=float, u=remove trailing letters, x=skip, *=Zero upper case values if this value is 0
#askValuesReadFormat ux
or from WT3000:

Try using holdingS? instead, then you will get signed return values.

[Benleentje]

But are you saying that of the 20 value you read the last two are useless?

I made i few mistakes in the #value lines. There where in some lines space's in the name and then that line is skipped over. I put _ for the spaces and now everything is working.

I don't need to read the high and low values from the meter because TC does this already in the current values.

[flash2b]

That fixed it. Thank you for your remark about multiple register read. The readout speed increased with a factor 10x.

I will investigate how many registers I can read in 1 call for the NT28 and N48 modules. Then I can improve them as well, the NT48 will be then even more faster.

[HKJ]

That fixed it. Thank you for your remark about multiple register read. The readout speed increased with a factor 10x.

It was very slow, I like 1 sec logging speed and it did not work, now it will. The actual speed increase is probably between 6 and 7 times, seven messages is condensed to 1 slightly longer message.

I will investigate how many registers I can read in 1 call for the NT28 and N48 modules. Then I can improve them as well, the NT48 will be then even more faster.

Sounds good, no reason to do a lot of calls, when it can easily be reduced.

Please add the definition

I have added it, thanks.

That 3 phase power analyzer is crazy, you get a overload of values with it.

[Benleentje]

It runs smoothly and stable 1 update almost every seconde. That is enough for me. If i need a faster update i look at the device itself. But that only kan show 3 value's at any time.
There is even much more data in the device for al the minimum en maximum value's. But in TC there is no need for this.

[flash2b]

Hi Benleentje.

I would urge you to rename some of the #Value names in the first section.

#value V1 V D1 --> Voltage_L1
#value A1 A D3 --> Current_L1
#value W1 W D0 --> Power_L1
#value var1 var D0
#value PF1 - D2 --> PF_L1
etc. etc.

Also renaming the file to Circutor CVM144.txt makes much more sense that TCP at the end. This is also what other people do.

[Benleentje]

Thanks flash2b.

The readout is much better with your suggestion.

The Circutor and matrix has updates,
