Supported device types and versions


The protocol allows reading data from multifunctional calorimetric counters of the VKP and VKPs CALMEX II types by means of the M-Bus bus (originally used RS232/M-Bus Premex RS-M converter, after 15 years replaced by converter RS232toMBus-XL45 from www.prevodniky.sk).

Communication line configuration


  • Communication line category: Serial (both converters), SerialOverUDP Device Redundant (RS232toMBus-XL45 only).
  • Mode 1: Baud rate 300, 8 bit, 1 stop bit, even parity, RTS=1, DTR=1 (RTS and DTR signals are not used by RS232toMBus-XL45).

Communication station configuration


  • Communication protocol: Premex CALMEX II
  • The station address is a decimal number within the range of 1..250 (or a hexadecimal number with a hash at the beginning, e.g. #0A) – it is a VKP address. By default, the address is set by the manufacturer according to the serial number (identification number) of the measuring device as the last three digits. If the last three digits are greater than 250, the higher digit of them is not taken into account. If the serial number is one of the numbers of 000, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 then must be changed.
  • Recommended polling parameters: Delay at least 1 minute.


Station protocol parameters

The following station protocol parameters can be defined:

Table 1

KeywordFull nameMeaningUnitDefault value
RC
Retry CountMaximum count of request retries. If no response returns after a request had been sent, the station's status will change to a communication error.-2
RT
Retry TimeoutTimeout before resending a request if no response has been received.ms100 ms
WT
Wait TimeoutThe delay between the response readings.ms500 ms
WFT
Wait First TimeoutThe delay after sending the request and before reading the response.ms800 ms
MWR
Max Wait RetryThe maximum number of retries of the response reading.-40
WUL
WakeUp LengthLength (given in characters) of a so-called wake-up message sent before each request.-20
WUD
WakeUp DelayThe delay between wake-up message and a request. It is recommended to enable the option WaitTxEMPTY in the line mode configuration.ms400

A string containing the protocol parameters is being defined as follows:

Keyword=value;Keyword=value; ...

Example:

RC=1;RT=500;

If a keyword with an invalid value in the initialization string is used, the corresponding default value according to table 1 will be used.

I/O tag configuration


Possible I/O tag types: Ai, Ci, TiA

Address: A number from the following table must be entered (as a decimal number or as a hexadecimal number with a hash at the beginning, e.g. #0A):

Table 2

AddressMeaningTypeUnits
1Measuring device ID.Ci-
2Access number (measurement number incremented by 1 for each data reading).Ci-
3Status number, bit descriptions see the table 3, individual bits are sent to the value attributes.Ci-
4Heat quantity.AiMJ,GJ,kWh,MWh
5Heat rate.AiW,kW,MW
6Volume overflow.Ail,m3
7Volume flow.Ail/h,m3/h
8Forward temperature.AiºC
9Return temperature.AiºC
10Measuring device date+time.TiA-
11Heat quantity on the 1st date.AiMJ,GJ,kWh,MWh
12Heat quantity on the 2nd date.AiMJ,GJ,kWh,MWh
13Volume overflow on the 1st date.Ail,m3
14Volume overflow on the 2nd date.Ail,m3
151st date of data.TiA-
162nd date of data.TiA-

Values saved on the 1st date or 2nd date are sent to the D2000 system with the time of saving. The measuring unit of individual parameters depends on the measuring device type.

Meaning of status word bits (Ci address - 3)
