# EL 2.1 FW 1.0.0 Modbus TCP Communication Interface

# Introduction

Refer to the Reference section for details of the Modbus protocol.

This document describes public Modbus TCP implementation for Enapter Electrolyser EL 2.1 and assumes understanding of TCP/IP and Modbus protocols.

# Physical Interface Connection

Connect Ethernet cable to the Ethernet Port of Enapter EL 2.1 electrolyser.

# TCP/IP Connection Settings

By default DHCP client is enabled therefore IP address will be assigned automatically by DHCP server available in the connected network.

It is recommended to set DHCP reservation based on MAC address of the electrolyser.

Configuration of the Static IP is possible using Enapter Cloud and Enapter Mobile Application for iOS and Android.

# Modbus Connection Settings

Option Value Comment
Modbus Port 502
Modbus Slave Address 1 Enapter Electrolyser always addressed as a slave

# Data Formats Used

Primary tables Object Type Permission Comment
Input Registers 16 bit word Read Only
Holding Registers 16 bit word Read / Write

# Data Bits/Registers Dimension

Data Type Size in Bits Registers Used Comment
Boolean 16 bits 1 register 0 value means 'false', all other cases - 'true'
Uint16 16 bits 1 register
Uint32 32 bits 2 registers
Uint64 64 bits 4 registers
Float32 32 bits:
* bit 31: Sign (1 bit)
* bit 30-23: Exponent (8 bits)
* bit 22-0: Fraction (23 bits)		 2 registers IEEE 754 Single-precision floating-point

# Data Encoding

Big-endian, high word first data encoding used.

This means that when more than single byte (8 bits) is transmitted, network byte order is used - the most significant byte placed at lower address (sent first).

# Implemented Modbus Functions

Function Code Comment
Read Holding Registers 03
Read Input Registers 04
Write Single Holding Register 06
Write Multiple Holding Registers 16

# Modbus Data Model

Input registers and Holding registers are referred to in the range 3XXXX and 4XXXX respectful (also known as PLC Address). For example, Holding register 0 in this document would be referred to as 40001 and would be addressed as register 0000 in the data address field of the Modbus message (also known as Protocol Address).

# Events

# Severity Levels

Code Severity Level LED Indication Description Comment
F Fatal Error Red and Yellow Blink System stopped. Unrecoverable error. Hardware repair required. e.g. Pressure sensor is not connected or broken.
E Error Red Blinks System stopped. Recoverable error. e.g. No input water pressure and internal water tank is empty.
W Warning Yellow Blinks Heads-up event which should be taken into account to avoid Error or Fatal Error. e.g. No input water pressure and internal water tank is full.

# Example: Configuration Sequence

Here is an example to change Electrolyser Restart Pressure to 25 bar. This will enable Electrolyser to restart when pressure drop to 25 bar on outlet.
